Lovely site I enjoyed looking through your images, a very creative eye.
I've ordered vistaprint business cards and always suspected the websites wouldn't be up to much but I guess I'd be wrong!! A very pleasant site.
Good luck with your business
Kind regards

Phil

Nice looking site, very clean. Only gripe is the order of your tabs. IMO it should go About, Portfolio, Pricing and last would be Contact. Just my 2 cents

Will try again later on.

Aaaagh.....not 'Papyrus'. :rolleyes:

If your concerned about SEO (Google it), then you need to refine your <title> tag. Right now, "Sophistiqué Photography - Welcome" says nothing about your location and what you do. You should have your town/state and some of your specialties. You can list you business name last if you want, but remember people are not going to search your name....just your city/state and what you do. ;)

The main text found is small and difficult to read, even the "weddings engagements portraits" font is so condensed it is not easy to read. And the light grey text on off-white background isn't idea of easy reading either.

thanks SO much for all of your input so far! really, it means a lot. i've tried to clean up the site a bit, went with a different design and font (OF COURSE!, i had no idea it was so hard on the eyes).

how is it coming along?

Looking good so far, only big concern now is that it is a 'full screen' site but only takes up a fraction of it. There is a lot of blank space on it.

Partially disagree. The vast majority of sources I have read regarding websites say that people naturally read from left to right and top to bottom, hence the most important aspects should be top-leftish and the least important bottom-rightish. Like anything this isn't a hard and fast rule that can never be violated, but I'd put the Portfolio first as that's the most important.
