Very nice....

And I love that book effect...

[Stemmy]

Welcome Pascale

Really nice website. I too like the book effect.

Some stunning images there.

Looking forward to seeing some more of your work.

[tibet]

Thx guys! I really appreciate the encouraging comments and warm welcoming! :)
Do you find the site easy to navigate? Is the content of good quality? Is there enough infos about the service I offer? Any suggestions, things you think I should add/remove?

[AlanJM]

Great website, I would prefer you looking into the book rather than away from it, have you tried to flip your photograph

[tibet]

Huh?? Whay do u mean?

[Stemmy]

The image of you on your homepage is looking to the left. If you flipped the image you would be looking into the book.

[tibet]

There's no image of me on my homepage! O_o

[Stemmy]

Ok - but we are talking about the image of the gentleman at the top left of your homepage. He should be looking into the webpage.

This might have raised another issue. Does everybody who looks at your site think this guy is you ??? I know I did and obviously others who have commented did.

[tibet]

Yes yes I got you now!! :) I just changed it! Good point! ;) As for do people believe the guy (who happens to be my bf ;)) is me....mmmmh....good question! O_o
Ah but.....when people browse the site, if they go on the "About" page, they will see it's not me! Hehe! ;)

[Stemmy]

OOOOOOOOOppppppsssssss sorry Pascale !!!!!

Seen your picture now. Even though you have changed the way the picture is looking on your website I wouls still much prefer to see the picture of you instead !!

[tibet]

Mmmmmh! Gonna have to think about that one. ;) :thanks: for your feedback dear! :Dm

Hi Pascale,
I like the site, the book effect is nice. It's a little different than the average photographer's website.
I think the info you have is quite good but the fact that you are selling your services could be a little more prominent. Currently it looks a little too much like a personal photo blog to me.

I agree with Stemmy the picture top left would be better if were you, I made the same mistake until I looked at the about page :-)

[tibet]

Mmmmmh! What would you suggest regarding the infos about my services? I put it up right on the homepage so it's the first thing the viewer sees. Any suggestions about that? :thanks:

[StuG]

Sorry, I didn't make myself very clear.

The open page is ok, though for my personal taste I would consider a different font, all the information is clear.

It's the menu I was thinking of, again everything is there but I would reorganise a little. Put your main service at the top, separate the Articles, blogs and links etc from the business services.
Put your potd competition and the archive on a separate page, and all the links too.

Like this perhaps...

It's only my opinion of course but I think that makes your professional services more noticeable.

[tibet]

Oooooh I see! Yea, I think it would look much better indeed but I unfortunately can not do that since I'm using a pre-made template provided by my host and the navigation bar is not customizable! (spelling?) :(

[tibet]

Ok, I did change the page order in the navigation bar as you suggested but there's unfortunately no space to define the sections. I hope it works better nonetheless. :)

[Stemmy]

Yep looks better

[tibet]

Ah cool! :D Thx u so much for ur help and time! U rock! :grin:

[StuG]

Yep, I think that's better too Pascale :icon_nice

[tibet]

Thx Stu! :) For all the good advice too. ;)c
