Your guys opinion please

[trentchau]

Finally started finalizing my website again. Going to add more to the portfolio section (options instead of one whole general gallery).

I designed, coded, and created everything so please free to talk on a photographer, designer, and application level.

Thanks

I think it is a very clean, efficient, attractive and user friendly site....

I've only looked at the services page. You have a typo in the second sentence "... and gets you want you need." I believe the phrase you were trying for is, "...and gets you what you need"

Your introductory paragraph is three sentences long which is okay. All three of them begin with the word "I". The second sentence is also a run-on using the coordinating conjunction "and" to connect a series and two phrases. Your closing paragraph is only two sentences and both begin with the word, "clients".

Visually it looks straight forward. On this page I would suggest that you hyper-link the catagories back to their respective portfolio, triggered to open a new window.

I had a flash error so I was unable to see your portfolios. I trust this is a local machine issue and not a coding error.

Your banner is great.

Regards
Steve

Thanks! I can't fix the typo at work, so I'll handle it when I get home.

Very clean I like that. The text on the services and about page is a little hazy at that size of font and since it's in a flash frame I can't change the text size to my liking. Minor nit pick though I can still read it I just have to slow down a little to make sure I don't miss an l or an i. Also your about link doesn't work from your contact us page.
Great choices in your portfolio section. I am sure with your extensive gallery of excellent images it was hard to settle on 23 images.

thanks cman, it's at 14pt right for font size, should I ad spacing or 1 font size up?

Which link doesn't work? I'll fix that asap.

Speaking as a consumer:
As stated it is a very clean page. It is simple and sophisticated. I am not sure if simplicity is what you were going for but that is how I see it. Very user friendly and to the point. For me the fonts are a tad small. I found myself squinting in trying to read. That's with my glasses on. Hazy was used and I think that describes it best.
Clients and Accolades:
I like this area. I do want to see what was accomplished in your photography besides images in the gallery. However I could give a crap about your equipment. For me the consumer I don't care what you use or even want to know. All that is for other photographers. Don't impress me with $25,000.00 worth of equipment and tell me what you have. Impress me with your work. Instead I would like to see referrals from your clients and their feelings. I am much more interested in how you operate than what you operate with.
As I stated, it is very user friendly which is key. Lots of pages have too much crap and windows popping up everywhere. I hate that. I would have blended them a little different but that is my personal taste speaking. Nice colors for your style. Oh, as far as the font style goes. A little more elegance would be nice as oppsed to what I see on the web everyday.

Go to your contact page then try and click the about button in your top navigation bar. When I click I get nothing.

I found another one too, from your home page click your contact button, it took me to 404 page can not be found.

What typeface are you using? Try bumping the size and see if it gets better, let us know and we will look too, also maybe change your kerning settings if you can. That may get you a little space in between the letters. I wonder also if it is flash that is rendering the text that way in the frame. You don't necessarily have to use flash for just text you could just put it in a table. I am not to familiar with flash development so I may be talking out by butt here too.

Thanks man, I agree with you. Each piece of the about section is modular, and equipment itself is completely removable without affecting the other parts.

I'm about to go to a client dinner, but when I get back I'll ready up on suggestions and place them in. THanks a bunch guys.
