Hi all,

just finished a draft to my website, i have tried to make it iphone, ipad friendly.

Any advice or ideas are greatly welcomed.
The Gallery is not finished as i am not sure if to have a drop down various galleries, for example: Portraiots, Family, Events etc. or just 1 slideshow showing them all.

Hi Matt,
I'm just down the road from you in Carterton. Site looks good, why not have both, sideshow on front page, and individual galleries available from the menu divided into portraits, family and so on.

Your navigation bar needs work. When I hover over a link the font size changes. It's an easy fix though. You need to capitalize 'W' in your second sentence, "we offer our clients..."

I would read "SEO for the Photographer" in my sig below too. ;)

:D Its supposed to do that. It highlights the selected choice.

I have not even started with SEO, was just trying to get the structure of the site correct. But I will def have a good read of the link.

Thanks

By shifting the text? It looks unfinished right now. Having a different color for the hover text is good, but having two different size hover text is a bad thing, IMO. To each their own I guess.

Thanks for the advice, I have changed it now. :D

Still feel like it needs more images on the front page and less text?

Much better.

Text is a good thing! Did you read my SEO for the Photographer in my sig yet?

One thing that was bothering me. I would add about 5-10px margin below your text in your footer.
