    I have built a new art website. The art site is about various beautiful handpainted portrait paintings. For exmaple, the wedding portrait paintings, family portrait paintings, Dog portraits, animal portraits, friend portraits, landscape portrait paintings and so on.

    I have uploaded so much my handpainted work to my new site, but so many visitor say my new site is not so good for the first time. But I am a bad website designer and do not know how to modify my art site so that it will look wonderful when the visitors view it for the first time.
    Please give me some suggestion for improvation.

    My new website is: http://www.handpaintportrait.com/painting.php

    What do you think of my new art site with the work?

    Hi, it's pretty good overall, but you could streamline a few things.
    -instead of "have any questions? just call...", you could write: "Questions? (Just) Call ...". The whole box in the upper right-hand corner is a bit messy.
    -maybe you could leave out "Portrait" in every description. Do you really need to write "Wedding Portraits" and not "Weddings"?
    -I don't like the twitter/facebook buttons at the bottom; they're too large. Either use smaller buttons, or write something like: "Find us on (facebook button) and (twitter button)"
    -the slideshow spins so fast that it makes me dizzy.

    you should include a picture of an artist actually doing a painting to make the point that you are selling actual oil paintings.

    lots of other little improvements could be made to all the text

    make the small text font larger and make the purple stronger

    Send me a PM with details of your affiliate program, I might run an ad for you on my bridal sites if the commission is good.

    Good Luck with your business

    I like the simple look not to distract from the paintings.

    Your site is different from the usual ones I read. I loved the differences I saw and the layout. Fresh and clean. You look like a lot of fun, by the way. I enjoyed how you worked with your content and the overall images are so picturesque. Great Job :)

    I think the header could look a little more up to date... but the content is good.
    As for why no one has ordered... idk, maybe you're not getting the right visitors to your site. Check your SEO and google keywords and Page rank and all that. Good Luck!!

    yes, all of the portrait paintings are painted by me and my partners. The paintings are painted from the digital photos.

    You need to have a slicker looking home page.

    I love your paintings, however I would not buy from the website as I dong like the look and feel of it :( I (like a lot of people I imagine) like a site to look good if I am going to spend any money there.

    Again, awesome paintings though.

    I hope you manager to get your site the way you want it!!

    :)

    Dear mighty_scoob;
    Yes. it seems that I need to make a slicker homepage. now, I begin to have a change. Also, thank you very much for all your viewpoints. So many people think that I need to add a comparison function for the original photos and the painting photos. Are they right? Do I need to add this comparison function so that I can make make people trust me?

    please let me know.
