My new website

Hi all,

Just treated myself to a domain and some hosting.

www.joebrownleephotography.com

So what do you all think of the site? It's not the best thing ever and I know it needs more contents but I just want peoples thoughts on it

Cheers!

Joe.

Its an effective design and gets its point across without too much flambouyant art... which is fantastic for a photography website, as you really want the pictures to do the talking. The black background offsets quite nicely against the colourful pictures too, which makes them stand out even better. The white text is a tad too stark for my liking though - perhaps you should tone that down a bit? I look forward to seeing you fill your website with your work soonish...

The site isn't bad, but PLEASE get rid of the crosshair cursor. That is unbelievably annoying and is also a turn off for potential customers.

Hey,

I'm making a few changes, mainly in the code but I've changed the picture and got rid of the crosshair.

Joe.

Very nice, the quote should have some text, search engines love text.

Hey again,

do you mean that the quote should be text not on the saved image itself?

Joe.

Very nice design, though I don't care much for the plain colors you used for your buttons. You could make them ten times better, I think. But seriously, the design is gorgeous.

I think you need to repeat the 5 colors along the bottom of the page, even it out a bit.

i like it a lot. simple, clear and pretty readable. the info stands out pretty well, and i love the buttons.
maybe i'd find a nicer way to open the photos though... not just the good ol' target="_blank" way ^_^

In reference to Uncle Gheds mention:

Look into using window.open javascript to open controlled windows, that way the windows will open to a specified size of the image, and will appear a bit more professional.

I like it, its pretty good.

One thing I don't like is the navigation colours. Primary colours, I find are a big no no, in all designs. They just hit you to hard.

Its really nice and minimalistic, and that is what I love with sites. Great work.
