You have some great photos on your site, and a nice, clean design. I do
have some questions about your pricing page:
For your pricing, doesn't $8 seem a little cheap for a sports 8x10? I'm
not sure what the usual pricing is for this, but it seems to me you could
get a bit more than that.
For portrait pricing, it might be more clear to show prices for prints and
packages and not for rolls of film. Charging $100 for a 36-exp. and $75
for 12-exp. may come across as a lot of money for a roll of film, so you
might want to emphaize that you're primarily charging for the
prints/packages, not the film itself. It might also stop people from
assuming that you'll be able to get 12 and 36 perfect shots each time.
:) Also, if they want six or seven different poses, they might make a
fuss about how it's not their problem that you're not good enough to get
them all on a roll of 12. (I'm not saying you're not good enough, just
suggesting that their expectations may be different than yours.) IOW, how
does charging by the roll work? How many excellent negatives are they
guaranteed out of a roll of 12 or 36?
Also just my opinion, but saying that all prices are negotiable could be
asking for trouble. It's possible that no one will want to pay the full
price, or they'll feel ripped-off if they do, especially if they don't see
that line until after they've paid. Once you start haggling for your
services, it's easy to get dragged down to starvation prices to maintain
customers, and that's not good for you or your competitors. Something to
think about, anyway.
You say, "I specialize in location photography therefore there are no
location fees within 60 miles of my home. If your location is outside that
circle, contact me for a quote." It would help if I knew where you
lived. :) Your location isn't on this page, nor could I find a direct
link to it. You may want to make that clearer.
Just a nitpick... In your "personal" section, you missed capitalizing the
"the" at the start of the sentence "the PZ-1p section is devoted to..."
On the whole, I love the clean, basic layout; I think it works
well. Congrats!
