Selling prints

Not wanting to hijack your thread but

Do any of you have any crit for my site? excuse the slow loading, 123 is shite, I am getting new hosting in the next week or so.

First off your site suits my personal tastes - good choice of colours, sound layout, and not more then is required. Very good.

I would perhaps consider changing the way you have to scroll left /right on your home-page videos, I personally like this but mobile users and those not as tech-savvy as us will/may be confused. Perhaps consider a vertical orientation.

Consider increasing the font size or line-height, I have hi-res 23" screens and not perfect vision - I can read it, but I gotta get close to my screen or zoom in.

I'm no copy-righter but consider the repeated use of the words 'creative' and 'captivates/ing'. When reading they jumped off the page the first time (which is a very good thing) but the second time I all I could think is 'you already said that' Your headers for this are fine though.

I'm turned off by your contact page. improve as a priority.

One more thing: sack off your current page titles and construct them to market the site not tell the view what they're looking at.

Last thing: make it work in all browsers.

Cheers mate, main thing I want to know is if having to scroll sideways is a problem for other people? As it is not for me as I have a mouse that has sideways scroll. I asked the designer to make it so the site was a little different than normal, so I like the concept of going sideways almost like going along a film reel but don't know whether it is practical for others.

oops. It's just my opinion mate, seriously I'm no expert - it's what i would say if a lad in the office asked me for the go ahead on it.

Sorry marra, didn't mean to come across like a dick! I read it back and I do a bit, long few days. I meant that was the problem I knew might come up but wanted your opinion overall too.

I can't take credit for any of the design!

Yeah I agree with the big about scrolling, going to do a few more tests with technophobes and see how they get on.

I will ask the designer to up the text as I have to do that as well, didn't know if it would be better on smaller screen as I am on 24" too.

Will have another read through and edit I am glad they jumped out as that was what I was trying to do

Forgot to say contact page is getting sorted going to have contact form

What do you mean on page titles? I like the sound of that but not sure exactly what you mean, my mind seems to be a little slow this morning

Cheers for taking the time though mate appreciate it

It's a specialised market anyway so I'd think the visitors to your site should be ok. Saying that, some navigation on the left for quick access may help?

Did you try the site in black? Going on the film route. Black with white text, and orange/yellow headers could look smart.

I did think about different colours at the start but once I finalised my logo I wanted to keep everything in line with the branding. I thought about having actual film reel so would have been black and white but thought it would look a bit gimicky

cheers for some of the feedback and offers of help lads. Been stuck at work all day. Off for a game of footie then i'll get cracking with finishing off tonight.

individual Gallery Page? or Link to a 500px/Flickr page with relevant selection of photos?

I would go with a gallery page, try and keep people on your site rather than them getting sidetracked elsewhere.

cheers. think i'll have a link to both pages. but stick with the gallery idea. want to give myself a name.

andrew cook photography sounds a bit dull to me. but might just go with it for now.
