Like Fazz81 I've been building a website too, I'd appreciate your thoughts...

www.grant.gb.com

...I think it may well be dial-up unfriendly too, and needs more compression. Let me know anyway

I would prefer some thumbnails to be honest, the drop down menus are fine for navigating websites but for a gallery they tend to get in the way.

All IMHO of course!

ps. lovely pics, prefer the 'normal' ones to the uber-photoshopped ones, but that's just personal preference.

If you're sorry why did you do it?

Marin.

Grant,

Blimmin good work methinks.

Bit slow to load ... and not sure where the focus is (friends and Prince Charles?) Having said that - the pic of Amy is fab. If I had to make a comment, I'd decide where you are pitching... then go for it. The work is easily good enough - it just feels half 'my site' half 'pro site'.

(Like mine isn't! )

Lots of good work gone in there!

Steve

edited to add: BTW... that pic of Amy reminded me of a pic I took of me mate's daughter (younger... and how Gaelic can you get!) - just found it..

2nd the drop down menu thing. I got bored looking It'd probably work if you had a series of thumbnails rather than just one pic per section.

There's a nice sort of classy 60s feel to it

Thanks y'all

I've made a few changes. I've still got some more to add but now there are thumbnails hidden about the homepage, let's you go on a bit of a voyage of discovery

I agree with this, some thumbs would be nice, I like the site design, I'm trying to learn CSS at the moment.

Seems to be a lot of photography sites popping up lately - I've just got mine running - www.gbyphotography.com
