I've just run an update on my website and am interested in people's opinions on it (especially bugs you find or things I should change).

I'm also interested in people's opinions on the photos smile

It's www.gfwilliams.co.nr

Thanks,
George

I like it.

If it were my site I'd lose the thumbnails and just go straight into the slideshow.


That Ultima is lick. In the gallery numbers 17, 21, 22 and 23 are not up to the same standard as the rest. 18 initially looks great but on closer inspection it looks like it's parked in a garage and you can see no-one is driving in the reflection in the mirror.


The speedster ones are great. Nothing else to add really, well done!

I'd say that I agree with that smile

It's a shame that I don't have a clue in flash, otherwise I would play around a fair bit with the slideshow..

With the content I was worried that I would have too much on the Ultima and Mustang (my 2 most recent shoots) so added in some more older shots after. I think that it will be due for another change in a few weeks as I have a photoshoot of a Ford GT and a Gallardo smile

ps. Anyone else then?

only looked at the portraits section, the fact I cant scroll the scroll bad and have to use the little arrows at the top or the bottom really pissed me off biggrin

Comments as above.

Also, if you're using it as an advertising/business website, it doesn't look too professional to have a 'hotmail' email account as your main 'business' contact. Can you not set one up through your hosting company?

I'd say the other cars at the end felt like an after thought, although I like the Ultima and the Mustang the site does seem to be dominated by them.

I really like the site! Couple of things though, I would keep the visitor counter out until you have 50,000 plus, although even then I doubt putting it in really achieves anything. Some of your car shots are really strong and I don't think the portraits match that standard, Perhaps leave the portraits out until you have some that match the quality of the mustang? Just an idea, oh and also I love the headlight on the homepage!

Cheers,

Leighton

Leighton, when I have more content to my car portfolio (after a few shoots coming up) I might remove the portrait section. My main concern now is the index page and the services page smile
