website :)

Hi there!

I've launched it and would love some feedback. Thanks in advance!

I like it! It came up nice and fast and good to have links to your blog and facebook right there, too.

it is very nice. Love the baby gallery. On your client proofing link, what is the difference in the links for 'viewing' and 'proofing'? Do they then go to another area to purchase? just curious. Am considering using Photobiz myself.

Great job. Loads fast, images look nice too. Navigation is good and things are easy to find.

Your HTML site needs a little work in the text formatting. There are stray line breaks in your Pricing page (which is - confusingly to me at least - called "Investment", making me think you're selling stock), and you would probably do better using a bulleted list than manually putting greater-than signs in.

Also, I suggest you work on your other sites to try to engender a consistency in your logos.

Thank you all!!

Thank you for this detailed comment. I really appreciate it! There are actually a lot of sites showinng pricing as investment.. making it seem like they are investing in a heirloom.. heheh.. I'll think about that..
But, yes.. I will check the consistency in logos.. I recently switched to a different template and had to create that new logo on the left side..
Thanks again for the "eye"

The proofing is where the client can add comments etc.. Viewing is just viewing, a link to show family/friends.. There is also an ordering page.. But, I actually haven't had a client who ordered.. because I've just been giving the CD as part of the deal while trying to build my portfolio.. Photobiz is great.. it will require a lot of setting up products etc.. but I think once it's entered, it'll be good. Lots to do, so little time..

Scrolling. I don't like site designs like yours that has a small area for page text, that nearly mandates the viewer to scroll down possibly several pages to see everything. The less a viewer has to scroll, the less that the viewer has the potential to not see. Your "about" has about 2 pages of text and your pricing has about 5 total pages of text.

I too think "investment" sounds rather cheesy and convoluted.

For easier reading and form, try to avoid your sentences that start with ">" on your Pricing page to go past a single line. A lot of them trail onto a second line and it lengthens the page and makes the stagnates the flow of the page. Another issue about that small text area you have.

You also have issues with 1/3 of a line used then the last 3 words are on another new line - check your formatting issues. Really how you have your "package" descriptions is hard to read. Keep it simple and don't try to get wordy or include things that really don't need to be listed on an advertising medium like your website. Details can be listed with your contract/agreement/sta​ndard conditions. Do prospective clients need to know online photos are password protected when browsing your site? Maybe use "secure" to be less wordy.
