    You must to think a lot to create the design. I like the domain name, logo, along with your slogan. It's very clear and easy to remember. The search box is put in the right position. This is the function which will be used most on the kind of website.

    I have some comments

    1) I took at look at other stock photo websites like istockphoto. I think that you should not show photo list on the homepage, because the photos will be high probably not match your visitors' demands. If it's the case, the photo list is useless. If you still want to show the photo thumbnail list on homepage, you just should show very popular photos which many people like

    2) I don't think that you should have SEARCH on your top menu, because it's on the top of homepage already. If you want to have advanced search for your visitors, just need to put advanced search link under the homepage seach box.

    Hi,

    the start is very good.

    But I think the border color should be changed with some thing more professional.

    Thanks for the comments! I think the border colour looks ok on my iMac but when i looked on another device it looked rather tacky so may change it to a darker green.

    The search button must stay there because if you click popular it switches the search bar for popular tags so the user needs to be able to get back to search.

    I just need to add loads of stock photos now!

    Don't go with any green for the borders.. I would suggest heavy grey..

    And you are right about adding lots of stock photos.. You have to add lots of them... Then try making your website look more live using some interactive elements like, may be, photo sliders and stuff..

    thanks looking into some better search box images now, and a new green for the borders. Looks tacky on some machines.

    nice site with regards to content. :)
    Good Job!

    However, one minor thing - the background which is white and the boxes in gray are like overlapping. Doesn't look good. I'm not sure if I'm the only person seeing this while viewing your website right now. I'm using a windows PC by the way. You might need to check your site using other devices with different operating system since I know you're using an apple computer.

    HOpe this helps to your sites improvement! :)

    Nice work. Is it possible to change the navigation buttons such that the corners are rounded? This would be more consistent with the rounded corners of the search box and the image boxes. Also, in the left hand column, on my screen the first line reads "Free Stock Photos No" and the second line reads "Registration" - can you move the No to the second line?

    I like it. But I think also that the green border around the images should change

    It looks good but i would say the main content area looks quite busy and distracting to the eye - maybe remove the dark green background to the images and and the navigation links?! Other than that it is cool
