Hello matey.. Welcome...

Some really nice photos in there, very nice..
I can see some themes building up nicely there.

Have you been at this long?

The front page is nice, but I feel, and this is peronal to me, that the image needs a "frame" round it.. Seems a bit bare to the black on the outside...

Also even with the Legend at the bottom (which retracts from the image) it might be better having text on the image also...

I just feel it it detracts from the nice photo...

Ill be honest here - it didn't work for me.

I like the idea but it needs some work.

When I first loaded the page all I could see was the picture I couldn't see any of the text explaining how you get to the different sections. I clicked the top of the picture and it opened an email for you ???

After scrolling down I realized what you were supposed to do. Only one of the buttons seemed to work. The camera took me to your gallery page. Nice gallery flash by the way.

Your idea is good it just needs tweaking.

I would add some text to the picture explaining what each section of the picture does not rely on people scrolling down to find the text. Your website has to be simple or people will leave.

Apart from this there is not much I can say as I could only access one area.

Hope this helps though

On your gallery page you seem to have a white border around you photographs, this seems to blend in with the whites on your images, I would suggest putting a small black stroke around the images before putting the white border around the image. I would also suggest placing some more navigational points so the people viewing could return to your home page etc without selecting the back button.

I agree with Martin - I only found the gallery which I enjoyed.

I am going to have my site re-designed in Flash later this year so interested in how easy/hard you find it to do.

Hi Wineman

I've just started redesigning mine using SimpleViewer http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer, very easy to use.
