Hi all I am looking for your honest opinion on my website and my work please. all I ask is that you take 5 minutes to look at my website and let me know what you think of the site (i.e. is it professional looking) and what you think to my work in the gallery section please. And remember please be honest.
Thanks.

I'm not quite sure if you actually want my honest opinion Joe.

In the first 4 lines on your home page you have 4 different fonts.
The second line "Your Personal Photographer" looks out of place - too bold, too dark and doesn't fit with the other fonts used.

The thumbs along the top of the gallery are squished.



The white background in your studio work is overbearing.

A lot of your children shots are taken looking down on them.
It is not an attractive look most of the time.

Many of your shots have the eyes in the centre of the photo and empty space above the head.

Selective colour is very over rated.

A lot of the shots that are meant to look natural actually look posed, contrived, strained or held.


Joe your prices are very cheap.
Maybe that is in line with where you think your portrait photography is. You could be right.
But that doesn't mean you won't get better.

Your menu bar is on consistent throughout the site. Sometimes it is shaded other times it is not.

Several of the photo thumb nails are still distorted.

There are still a few spelling errors. Again, 'discuss' needs corrected under the "Headshots and Portfolio" section.

Hi haroldross thank you for your feedback. The menu bar issue was a result of us playing around with different options as you were viewing sorry about that. The thumb nails have now been sorted we were working on this at the time and yes we had missed that spelling mistake wile sorting out the others. :oops:
Once again thank you for your time.
Joe.
