Thanks.
I have a pet hate for text done as pictures. It never looks right. It's much easier to simply define the font, particularly if you want to make changes. All the pages are "Untitled" This is what is saved when you save a favorite so if you want people to come back easily it's best to give it a good title. There is also a lack of navigation on the picture pages. You can only go to the gallery, no next/previous picture, home or anything else. There are 2 index pages. One with an upper case "I" one with lower case. Both are slightly different. I prefer the upper case I page, but the mouseover on the side menu has the writing the same colour as the background. I feel there is too much blank space at the bottom of the pages. Someone talked about more "POW" or "WOW Factor". The idea of the page is to show off images and have people hopefully buy them. So you need a site that is easy to navigate, is pleasant to look at and shows the images off at their best. If you add music, someone will hate it and leave. If you have fancy mouse pointers they will annoy people. If you put too much pizazz people will look at the web design and ignore the pictures. I think it needs a bit of polishing, but is a good start (particularly the uppercase I design). Just my thoughts. Leon http://www.bluering.org.au http://www.bluering.org.au/leon
