Great site. Here are a few things I noticed - Transitions are waaayyy too long when moving between sections, effects usability badly.
- Thumbnails like 'gallery 1' on the home page would make it more usable (and allow the customer to get a idea of you works quickly)
- Give more space on the last page for comments (it's only 1 line right now)
- The white logo on the bottom right does not match the rest of the dark theme
Photography wise seems good, although I have no experience in that area and I'll leave that up to someone with a better eye for boudoir photographs.
Good work Tom | | | |

Tom, I like all the great changes you made... Looks great!
One thing tho... the 3rd image disrupts the flow a bit... my two cents. | | | |

"you get what you pay for" doesn't apply here because your suggestions are all worth way more than $.02.
thanks | | | |

Spelling and special characters on the "Session Tips" page...looks like it started going wrong at the "Vintage Sessions" section. | | | |

Jose Luis - thanks. I saw that and fixed it. BTW, the session tips section is still changing.
Hey, Elliott! Are you talking about the girl in the pink and white outfit?
I was actually updating the site when Tom posted this so I'm not sure if everything has been addressed. I'll have to work on the more space for comments, and I have an idea on the logo on the main page but can't address that until I get home.
Thanks, guys!

I kept waiting for some 'velvety' type cabaret music to start... but then I'm one of those people who thinks that music is an added sensation to a website when selected properly.
The transitions between pictures tends to drag a little in all areas of the site, but other than that I didn't find much wrong with it during the small amount of time I was there.
Who designed your logo?

One text on the Session Tips says "Bring anything is characteristic......" | | | |

Thanks, Mike. I'll address that asap. After you read something a hundred times, it tends to look perfect (lol).
Chris, we're not sure about music just yet. Those who don't like it, really seem to hate it. Not sure what to do about the drag unless we just have one image on the home page. All of the pages load really slowly for me at home (on a wireless card) but lightning fast at work. Again, not sure what we can do about that.
The logo was designed by Tom's "constant companion". I love it!

Kept crashing my firefox 3.5.7. I have the error log if you want it. Looks like it couldn't define some code and closed the program on me. It looked great of what I saw of it.

Steve | It might have been in transition. It is being updated and modified constantly and sometimes by two separate people at the same time.
FWIW: Debbi has done the web site. I just criticize.  | | | |

Tom,
The site is slow on my end. Nothing else is having speed issues right now, but all that flash and delay is an issue in my mind. When I click on a link, I want the information in that link - not a picture change and another pause and then the information on (for instance) the parties.
This could be just because you are using large pictures and there is just that much data to transfer, but I am on a fast connection and if I am having problems then I am sure others would as well. | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
