Event Photographer need advice on website??

Need your advice on my website.... Do you think it too wordy, too much text clutter?? Do not scream...

You can give me advice and I will make the necessary changes. As for a price list, it varies depending on the work.

Most of my target audience is parents with kids, teenagers parties, birthday parties, and family reunions.... Most people in my neighborhood don't have access to a website but I give them my business card with a price on the back.

They can email me and I could send the link to them on their phone.

please help! Most of my co workers (new clients 7 so far) had already booked me for varies events....

Please cc all you want! Some pictures need help.... As for the blog, I am trying to earn more money and grow content on my page for google etc...etc..

thanks!

Yes - I found your home page a little cluttered and 'busy'. I'd flesh out some of the other pages with all the details.

Speaking of the other pages....I'm personally not a fan of having different themes/colours/styles for each page. It breaks the continuity of the site and briefly had me thinking I'd clicked out of your site altogether.

I'd get rid of the Google ads on your website... they come across as really amateurish. And honestly, the money you make from these pay-per-click ads will be much less than you will make from actual photography fees. So ditch the ads and your site will look much more professional.

Good luck.

I agree with Steve and James.

You also have no meta data (Title, Description, Keywords). If you want Google to find you then you need to add those. Read this:

I agreed. yes, I took a HTML class and I forgot to update each page and change the color to gray or black! Man I am so stupid!!

Thanks again and I will spread the text around!!

Hahahah! True! I made only $... Oh, I am not sure if I could disclose that without being banned by Google! hahahha

However, you are 100% correct!

I'm in agreement with the others - get rid of the google ads, or at least make them a bit more discrete.

I wouldn't use a @mac.com email address. If you don't want to use your web hosting's email, sign up for google apps (if you own your domain name) and use their free email service.

On your "contact us" page, there are ads for "ebony pictures, ebony chats, ebony photo, ebony image." The adsense definitely needs to go.

Maybe a banner or headline at the top to pull the menu down a bit, similar to the menu placement on your "contact us" page.

Maybe you could move your "50% non-refundable deposit" statement to the "book your event" page?

On the "book your event" page, you may want to add a separate form box for one's myspace or facebook page. Do you really want to have to track someone down that way in order to contact them?

Also, you may want to add that locations outside of Manhattan may require additional fees, with $30 being the minimum amount, or something to that extent. You would probably want the ability to raise that amount on a case by case basis.

Hahahah! Absolutely! I have to get this off.... I am at work and I don't have access (or the time) to change it until i get home!

Truly appreciate all the comments!

Thanks Everyone!

I noticed on your site that your grammar and spelling are off in a few places. You might also want to run the grammer and spell check.
