Whatever one builds, make sure it looks good on a laptop and a phone!

I've seen many where on my laptop, the banner (header) was the top third of my viewing window; the footer was the bottom third of the viewing window; and the content area was the center third. The banner and footer didn't move, and the content went up and down in a vertically narrow area. Everything in the content area was mostly not visible in its entirety unless the "-" view resize is used. Some i've had to shrink as much as 50% to view an entire image in the content window. Not very appealing to me.

I have had one for a number of years, just recently reengineered my homepage and improved on the very basic listings I was able to do with the set-up provided by Weebly. It is used mainly for family and friends to look at. Still have some loose ends to tie up but am basically happy.

Following up on Bill's comment above, the access works on laptops, but does not work on cell phones and i-pads, because these do not accept the pdf files which are used for my lists - anyone knowing of a workaround?

The link is in my signature line.

You put your site up here so you should expect feed back about it. This is an honest critique. You give absolutely no description of the scope of your business or what services you provide and only two pictures for clients to gauge your talent level. So, in other words, why do you even have a website?

And you also give no history of your professional qualifications such as schooling, work history, etc.

Paul, are you satisfied with SmugMug overall? Are you getting enough sales to justify the cost and effort? Please PM me, as I would like to discuss this further.

Longshadow, I checked out your website and was quite surprised. My name is also William Harbison (though I go by middle name Frank). I am a computer programmer by trade (full stack) and have had my own business building websites for small businesses. I got back into photography a couple years ago. Regardless, the similarities between us took me by surprise. Just wanted to say hi.

Cool! I can imagine that it did! Especially the programming part maybe?

Some nice work in there.
Is there a reason you didn’t make it a working link by including the “https://“ at the beginning?

Hello TwoSummers. What a great topic! I too would love gentle cc on my website. I get used to seeing it and lose perspective. It’s always a work in progress. On yours, what I really loved was the focal length you choose to use for your room shots. I’ve seen so many real estate photographers use very wide angle lenses that distort so much I can’t tell what the room looks like in reality. I’m going to guess you used about a 35mm?? Your site is very clean and neat.
Here’s mine for any suggestions or comments:
