my new photo site - 4/2/2001 14:21:00   
I've tried to keep all images small, and I've been a bit different this time and gone for an all image site - no real text ... and the links are hotspots. And yes it's small on purpose (film size x10 in pixels 360x240)

comments, critism, ideas, loves, hates, feedback ... all much appreaciated

I like it, the set up is different. I don't think you are giving your work enough credit by diplaying the pictures so small. I think it should be MUCH bigger. Keep up the good work.

I love the look of it, but here is my two cents

- I hope you don't need a lot of traffic from search engines because sites that are all graphics with no text to read generally don't do that well with the engines.
- The underlines are confusing (navigation and bio). On the web, usually anything that is underlined is an indication of a hyperlink. This is not the case here. Maybe remove the underline, enlarge those fonts and underline the actual links themselves.

See, I told you! It was only worth 2 cents!

RE: my new photo site - 4/2/2001 16:11:00   
thanks both of you

... and yep - is a first for me: having a non-text site, as I decided this one was to be a bit different (hits to come from directory listings instead - fingers crossed)

... take your point about the underlines too - I thought that about someone elses site the other day - and then silly me did it myself

I went for tiny size to keep it 800x600 happy and faster loading the graphics (and to look different). This is one of a partnership of 3-4 photo sites I'm planning - with the lead having the text and the leads/links <i> et al </i>

thanks again

Hmmmm. Your intentions for this site make all the difference. If it is primarily an art site, it is wonderful! If it is primarily a business site, you've got some problems, mostly with navigation, having to always "back" off a page to get to another area of your site.

It is very creative. Good luck with it!

Hi,

I like the look of the site but got lost on what photos (very smart by the way) I was viewing - I think some form of navigation is a must.

Cheers

okay - thanks for the navigation hints ... you can actually use my name bar CHRIS LAKER at the top as a back button, and there are > and < hotspots in the portfolios for navigation in there. But I guess I missed there as I thought it would be obvious. Anyway, I'll make some changes - underline the navigateable text - probably tomorrow

thanks for your feedback people
