New website

[ehasler]

I thought it was about time to revamp my website, so have come up with [url]this|http://www.edwardhaslerphotography.com[/url] design.

Any comments?

Looks good and certainly very thorough to me. The teccy bit on the prints is pretty dazzling; who does all that then?

It was a bit hard to find the direction arrows on my 1600x1200 screen, other than that it looks fine.

Sorry to be dense, but I can't find a "buy this photo" underneath any picture????

You mean the stuff about the paper and printers? That's all off the Photobox site

So far, I've only got it on this one, so not that easy to find!

More should be added in the next week or two.

Strange - they look fine on my 20" 1680x1050 screen. I normally have the opposite problem - put together a site that looks fine on a high res screen, and then looks huge on anything smaller!

I see your site as an 800x600 area in the top centre of the IE window with a neutral grey filling the rest of the background. Don't know if you meant it to look like that or whether it should be another size/automatically scale to fit the viewer's screen. Might be the way I have my IE set up.

If you'd like me to email you a screen shot just drop me a line at [e-mail]

Looks good. The 'buy this photo' is a bit dark on black on numptie monitors (people used to complain about mine)... so I chuck this bit of code in to make all links a colour of choice.

<STYLE type=text/css>A {
COLOR: #ffff33; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
A:hover {
COLOR: #0000ff; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
</STYLE>

(change the 6 digit code for colour choice... this is yellow). If you knew all this, sorry - but I guess someone else might not!

CSS

And if you want full control, be sure you put the pseudo classes (:link :visited :hover :active) in the right order or they'll get overriden and it's a git to track down why a style you've specified isn't being applied.

As for the site, my only gripe would be that the gallery pages have a *slight* vertical scroll in Firefox at 1024x768 with the tab row at the top (Lila 1.7 Theme) and IE at 1024x768. I'd be tempted to attempt to reduce the height of these pages (3x3 thumbnail and larger image pages) to get it to fit without scrolling as it's so close.

Thanks for the comments everyone - most useful! You certainly can't beat a bit of PH user testing

I've changed the "buy now" link to an image, so it should appear OK on the black background. I've also shrunk the height of the pages slightly, so hopefully should get rid of the small scroll necessary on 1024x768 screens.

That's how it should be (760 px wide, with height varying depending on the content).

Spot on.

On a non-technical basis... your About page appears to be empty...

Other than that, nice looking site chap..
