Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to look at my website. I'd firstly like to apologise for not being able to get back on here sooner, I do have a fulltime job and have just been busy this past week. As some people may have thought I am definitely not ignoring you I simply have not had the time to come back and look at this site.
Okay here are my points.
1. I hate going to a website and then having to click a button to "enter the website"
2. You say above that you are an aspiring automotive photographer and you website immediately says to me that you photograph cars. So why do you have a wildlife section in your portfolios?
3. Recent Shoots at the bottom of the home page do nothing. I expect to be able to click into them to view more images of that shoot.
4. You have some Out of focus images in your portfolio. A portfolios should show off your best images not all of them.
5, Ca you get rid of the "This site was designed with the Wix.com website builder" message at the top?
I think spell checking would be good as well, I couldn't get any of the links/recent shots at the bottom of the welcome page to open either, some good content but just needs polishing.
Wix is useless. It does give you free sites but then adds its ads which look disgusting. If you're looking forward to becoming a professional photographer, you should indeed show professionalism. Go with a better website. Pixpa, Squarespace and Format are a few to start with. Create the navigation in a way that it becomes easy for the client to navigate. All of your pages should take maximum to clicks to reach.
In the end, every image's link is non clickable. You need to make sure that every part of your website can be navigated easily and has a great user interface.
ecoleman - 1. Noted, I had this on but was always unsure whether it had the intended effect, you, along with a few others, have made it clear that it is an unnecessary page on the site
2. If you read the "My Story" page you'll see that my side passion is Wildlife photography, this is just on the site to give a better sense of who I am and I intend to keep it on the site, perhaps you could suggest a better place to put this?
3. The recent shoots have been troublesome ever since I created that part of the page, I have fixed numerous times and at this point I am just resigned to the fact that it won't work on WIX so I will be getting rid of that section.
4. I am still early in the journey of photography so the IQ will slowly improve. I'll make sure to double check the photos on there and remove the out of focus ones.
5. Unfortunately not, this is a bonus for not paying for WIX, as said in my OP, I don't want to pay for something that isn't near perfect and worth having, hence why I've asked for some critiques and reviews of my site.
TVRTim - I do have grammarly installed and I do read through things mutliple times before I'm happy but it is quite possible I have still missed some errors, would you be able to point some of these out? it would be greatly appreciated.
Olivia Green - I have got the general consensus that WIX is indeed not very suitable for photographers, and kind of know it myself, but as per OP, I'm reluctant in paying for a service for a site I haven't created well, so eventually I will move onto a better provider, I've created on WIX to get an idea of the sort of site I want to create.
You also mention about the navigation needing improvement. Would you be able to offer some tips.
It also seems that most of the comments have been having trouble loading the site on browsers other than Chrome, while I have tried on safari (on iPhone) I haven't tried other browsers, but I fear there isn't much I can do about it on WIX, which further solidifies the need to switch to a different site server.
Thanks everyone who has commented, it is much appreciated and I will be taking everything into account that you have said!
