Site update

Andy..

Why no phone number?

Why nothing on the page to say where you are?
(yes, it's in the page header, but who looks there?)

I personally hate slideshows I can't manually scroll through.. and I can't help noticing that wedding slideshow starts with a very weak image.. and whilst it looks to be all one wedding, the style of the shots varies a lot with little consistency..

Sorry to be crictical.. I love a lot of your shots, but the wedding slideshow just isn't doing anything for me.. and the absence of real and public contact information suggests someone with something to hide (or a part-timer not wanting to be interrupted by his clients). I think 8/10 photographers websites I look at fail on contact information.. it should be up-front and very obvious.. it's what 80% of traffic that might eventually result in a sale are looking for.
 
For me that text on the first image ruins it, its horrible - the www.siteadress etc one.

Agree on the fact its annoying not to be able to manually browse the show,.

Not being too critical I hope, just some constructive words.
 
Alastair,

Fair comment.
I did have an 'about me' page up until last week with all of my details on, and most of my shots were 'clickable' for larger viewing but I had too many pages, 1 sport, 1 buildings, 1 landscapes, 1 kids etc etc. After considering where I want to take this for the future I dedicated 1 page each to the 3 main areas and dumped the rest. Im still in the process of re-organising and building the site so viewers can click on individual photos or portfolios and I should put the 'about me' page back on.

The finished slideshow only uploaded correctly last night for the 1st time, so I wanted to get some feedback from others before I continued.

The contact iformation will also be displayed.

I will endeavour to update again once this has all been done. and re-post on here.

Good quality feedback ***. nice 1
 
I'm very inetersted to see you're using Photium as it's something I'm looking at myself.

Stick your name, phone number and town on the footer that you've got on every page.
 
I'm going to be honest seeing as you've asked for feedback.

The second image in your slideshow is the collective colouring confetti shot. Now, I know a few people like this, but you'll lose a LOT of people at this stage. You've got some nice images in the slideshow and had the fortune of getting a very pretty bride, get rid of that shot and a lot more people will stick around to see them.

Overall, the site's a bit depressing with that grey colour, there's no price list which is fine if you don't want to display one, but with that template I don't think many people will be compelled to fill in the contact form. Brighten it up a bit and it will look much better.
 
Alastair,

Id recommend them all the way. Will, the guy who works for Photium has been excellent to date. He has completely designed my site for me and helped me out no-end.

Andy
