A Wow Website

[Stemmy]

Thought I would post this one as it shows what can be done on a website.

Rhumour had it it cost him 30k.

Some nice pics there too.

um, like a lot of sites that use a lot of flash I'd lost interest after the first few seconds, ie after the bikini clad lass had minced across the screen. Mavbe I'll go back later this evening with a large scotch to help the wait for the important bit of the site - the pictures!

I agree with Tony. (seem to be saying that a lot these past few days :D )

Similarly, I don't really enjoy sites with sound, and tend to give up on them after about 30 seconds.

Dennis, I've a feeling we're of the same generation, give or take a couple of years, so we have a different outlook to someone a few years younger. I'd call that experience, others may call it being old fashionedhttp://www.wedding-photography.org/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif

I'd call that experience......

Hi George,
Getting old? I've a coaster which constantly reminds me to make the most of what I've got left it says......'Life is too short to drink ad wine'http://www.wedding-photography.org/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif

nice site, shame about the pictures.

Totally agree with what everybody has said. Its nice to see what can be done on the internet now though and also to imagine what it will be like in 10yrs from now.

I have toyed with the idea of a "Flash" website but the problem is the download times. His intro page is 2meg to download. I dont know what the split is of people who have broadband and who are still on "Dial Up" connection but obviously all the dial uppers would have no chance looking at his site. I thought I might have a fromt page with a flash and the standard html links so people can make their own choice.

I also am struggling to work out what his market is. Do you think all those pictures were commissioned pictures. Or does he sell them as "Fine Art".

Rich kid with too much time on his hands.... ;)

I like to keep things simple...

I use Notepad to design my websites.... :)

god that website is difficult to navigate round to many fancy bits of technology. Its ....weird, and very different. You can definetly tell its a guy that 'orchastrated' the images, so much 'plastic' as you were. Some of the images are ok but not really my taste or style. Very confusing site

Nice site, but i agree, i hate flash, and lose interest too quickly so didnt even get as far as seeing pictures, although i did like the first pic that shows, i also hate seeing sites opening more windows for other sections, i work from a laptop so too many windows open just gets annoying here.

30k for the site, wow, and were ripping it apart lol :eek:
