The site is nice and clean and easy to navigate.

My only comments are.

Some of the pictures in your gallery look awful. Not the picture but the scan. As your price list says you shoot Medium Format I presume you have scanned some negs for the website. Scan them again. Especially the three guys on the first page of the wedding section.

Your portrait gallery looks miles better - I assume you do your portraits digi.

I would loose the copyright thingy off all your gallery images. The resolution for the web means they could get a good quality print - postage stamp size, so I would loose it all together, your images will look much better.

The bottom section of your price list seems to get quite confusing when you are adding on bits for this and bits for that.

Final thing is I'm not too impressed with the size of your web guys advert on the contacts page. Bit in your face for me. The web designers advert is usually discreetly placed at the bottom of the page, not the largest writing on the page.

Hope this helps.

Hi Photoness

I am not sure that the photographs on the home page have sufficient impact to make a big first impression. I would consider using some close ups if you can?

I agree that you need to invest in a better scanner or find a design studio with a drum scanner.

I really do not like the copyright notice on the gallery pages. It is something you will never be able to enforce and the images are all low res anyway so not point INHO.

I love the way the site is very clean and easy to navigate - simple is always best in my book. It looks clean and uncluttered.

On a style note the consistency is not correct yet. Some paragraphs are left margined and some centered - they all need to be consistent. Also on your prices page the fonts are all in different sizes and colours. It should follow a consistent theme throughout.

I would be highly concerned business wise that you clearly state that you only shoot one wedding a day. That is perfect but you have a package for 14 5x4 prints at £195 with a 10% discount for digital. That can't be worth waking up for.....

I know this seems a really harsh post but there is little point in being all lovey dovey when you have asked for comments. I hope you don't mind!

Of course you are welcome to go through my site as well as by inviting observations we can take a step back and hopefully iron out the bits which are not right.

All in all it could be a great site - it just needs to be polished and you are bound to be on to a winner!

I am glad of your comments
I like to know what people think, and i will try to rectify some of the things you have mentioned
I have only just recently put the copyright on the images wish i hadn't now
I have made lots of work for myself LOL

Megtek didn't design my website.

no one ever has the £195. package

Thanks for your input
