Hi, Just joined the forum and thought I would say hi to you all. I have been reading quite a few of the posts and found them to be both amusing and informative. Take a look at my site and let me know your thoughts, always good to hear the plus and minus points. www.mikefynes.co.uk

Thanks

Hi Mike

Welcome to the forum - I am only a newbie myself and there is loads to learn and see.

I like the look of your website but would have liked to have seen more images in a gallery format without the need for a password.

The links page needs a bit of work as one banner ad seemed to take up a lot of the space. The links also went over your own site and not in a fresh window. Maybe an idea to keep people on your site for as long as possible in case they get dragged elsewhere on the web.

I really liked the design - nice and clean with some strong images. I personally like to see at least some idea of prices though, but that is a personal choice.

Looks good - I am sure you are a busy photographer.

Thanks David, appreciate your comments. Re the prices issue, this is something I always shy away from, better to let the visitor see and capture what you can do, otherwise the first point of call is 'how much' before seeing what's on offer. Just my point of view, I am sure others will swing the other way!

It's really nice....

Nice splash screen on the front...

Do you run the site side by side the other site?

No, this site is independant to any of the others.

A very professional looking site.

You need to show your prices though.

Nice looking site, but I agree with Kirsty the gallery is a little difficult to find. I think it should be more prominent, the slide show itself is excellent.

To answer re prices on site, still thinking about this one, not sure what I would gain?

I will also look at making the gallery easier, but this is a link to an external library believe it or not, customised to look like my site.

Keep the comment coming, always appreciated.

I don't put prices on my site - prefer to look at each job on its merits. Pros and cons to that approach! Some clients may not bother to contact you versus appraising each job on its own costs.
