Hello, this is my first website. I would like to have your comments both on design and content. thanks in advance. www.photolectic.com Mel
I think the layout looks too plain. I would try to incorporate more colors into the layout design. BUT, your site does load fast like mentioned above and it's good for SEO!
Cool blog, interesting articles..I particularly like the pic of the Olympus SP-550UZ. I also find your site slow to load..but overall nice job!
Thanks for reviews. I did not realize the slow loading before, i will try to find a solution for that.
Freelancer78, your site design is simple, which is nice. Photologs or blogs related to photography are usually bigger in size than other blogs. However, you can try to make such sites load faster also. One of the reasons the front page takes such a long time to load is because of the quality and size of the images displayed on the main page. Try loading your "About" page and comparing the load time. The header image [boats in the water] is also around 22.02 kb, which may be too big. Right now, the size of the images on your site are around 250 kb, resulting in most users on dialup to load your page in about 45 seconds. And yes, you must focus on your size images due to people using dial-up also, which will result in your pages automatically being faster for people on other connections hopefully. Maybe you can try to see if it's possible to save the images in a different format or a bit lower quality to save on image size for all the images used on your site. Good luck!
Bes Z, thanks for the detailed descriptions and suggestions. I will try to decrease the size of the images as you said. Actually, never thought of the dial-up connection before, this is apparently another thing that I have to keep in mind.
For me, its simple but lots of knowledge there. Especially you give the free ebook "Photoshop made easy". Wonderful and nice presents! I'm very like its. Thanx
