Soliciting opinions on a website...

Post by **masch** » Sun Apr 20, 2008 9:35 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Hi All,

I need to ask a favour....

I've just spent a moderately enjoyable afternoon putting together a website for my photographs and I would like some opinions about it....

If your time permits, can you divert your browsers to:
http://homepage.mac.com/mjjs/Photography/
and have a quick look around. Any constructive criticism welcome

I know it's slow, but that is mostly because it is currently on .mac
I thought since I have the account, I can use it to play about before I actually buy some hosting, domain name, etc.

Marc

Marc, it might only be a first attempt, but it is so nice to finally see some of the pictures that we saw you taking. We ar really looking forwards to seeing the French ones sometime

Hi Marc
I think the site looks good. You could add a little more detail of where the shots were taken. I am still trying to set up a site so am not really qualified to make any further comment except to say - well done.

Nice looking site. Tasteful, restrained greys and I like the blue highlight menus.

Two things I noted with a quick look - in What's Up you have several options bunched together at the bottom right (personal...). This doesn't look quite right, WIP? Secondly, I don't understand the significance of the Hasselblad picture, you haven't used one anywhere. Or have I missed something?

Some of your photographs are quite beautiful.

Thanks for your comments

The 'Blad picture is there as a placeholder until I have a decent image of a 5x4 or so to go on the front... Currently it is there as a "generic" camera. Misleading, I agree, but I think it needed an image on the front page. It looked very boring w/o one.

The multiple options on the bottom ights in the "What's up" page are there to categories the different news posts coming in. I simply stuck with the default categories. Needs correcting,I agree...
