    feedback on my site, please

    I have updated my site, and appreciate if you'd check it out.

    I use this to have a sample of my photography for viewiing. There is no purchasing from the site; however it does generate contacts.

     I just viewed your gallery. Looks good: nice, clean and simple. Easy to navigate. By the way, I love your montage photos. Excellent.

    Karen,

    Your photos are very nice.  I always am a fan of black and white.

    On your gallery presentation, looking at the source code, I presume you use the Business Edition because of the HTML plus the usual Frontpage stamp is there.  The top part of the gallery page could use some tightening to reduce the amount of space used which would make your presentation focused a bit better.  You may want to venture into a custom theme down the road.

    Take a look at the gallery below.

    My wife does sewing and enters craft shows so she pulled a "Honey Do".  She says you play on the computer all the time with your web work so why can't you make me a gallery so I can just send the link to someone rather then submitting photos for juried shows?

    No defense to that so I just did it.

    You may get some ideas for the future by looking at it.

    I have looked over your site and liked what I saw. While I respect Cowboy's input and usually agree, this time I have to disagree. I like the artistic layout. Compressing the heading would take away some of the freedom. I would call your site an example of artistic simplicity. While I usually might suggest some more color, I found the color photo of you almost out of place but even there the slight emphasis brings the viewer to the creator and most important part of the page. While I normally am not particularly attracted to B/W, I was impressed with yours. I don't know if you design with specific goals in mind or just go with what looks good but whatever the means, the outcome works!

    If I were designing this for an advertisement, I would start with an elegant  couple  toasting with wine glasses; the background would be soft romantic music. AS the glasses part, like the curtain on a stage, your web page would come into focus. Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to make that happen but That is the feeling I get from your website. Good Job!
