    Hey guys

    I could do with some people to take alook over this Photograpers website to let me know of anything your not keen on and could be improved to make the site better.

    Not bad, but I think flash works best for photography portfolios.

    Before I even read the other comments my first inclination is your site should be flash. It's more graphically appealing for someone in the arts.

    Better mapping would be good for the site. But nice work with the layout

    Nice layout but front page image is too big to capture the whole page, you should try some other background color........................

    the site is very nice, but maybe you could have a flash version too, navigation would be easier and the overall would rock!

    I used to do a lot of photographer sites until they all started wanting flash (I don't know it). I think your site looks great. Bottom line is, if your client wants the flash like everyone here is saying you should do, use it. If they don't want the flash and want to stick with what you have given them, my only recommendation is to optimize the thumbnails more. They took quite awhile to load on my computer and I have a very fast connection.

    Cheers for all the input guys, oh and flash sites suck big time.

    The owner never wanted one and I sure would never recomend having one to anybody I hate them.

    They are bad for most sites, but not photography portfolios.

    In regard to flash sites, overall you should not use them unless you are already well known and do not care about SEO.

    As you may already know flash sites are not good for SEO and most likely will never come up high in organic search listings. If this is important to you, forget flash. If not, they can look very nice.

    Overall your site is nice. The navigation is not quite as good as it could be. I would not use frames on any pages. Frames also can hinder SEO.

    Great job overall,
    Scott

    Works well for me. I like the clean look and ease of use. Great photo also. Quick response time too. I think it is fine the way it is. Cheers
