...this is just me and you could have a completely different opinion...

Personally, I like it better when I can either have the option of using a slideshow for the large-size images, or buttons to control it (start, stop, pause, fwd, bwd). Otherwise, the layout's nice - simple and direct... is this a template of something you wrote from scratch?

i can add the navigation to the slide show...

thanks - it's a combination of frontpage, digital dutch, and coffeecup swish stuff.

I'm not sure why, but last night I came across a Swish site that wouldn't work in my Firefox interface (worked fine in IE)... just a warning to test against all the available platforms you've got.

i agree - navigation would be nice on slideshow but other than that it's a good layout, loads quickly and easy and clear navigation throughout the site, good use of colors and no clutter

Janet,

I like to colors. It has a nice contrast & tone, especially the text against the background. Also, it is very easy to navigate. However, I did notice that the "Senior" page under the Galleries section is entitled "Fine Art Gallery". Otherwise, you did a very good job on it!

remove the: <p>&nbsp;</p> on the bottoms of the pages. There's just extra line breaks that makes me scroll down for no reason.

When I clicked seniors and expected to see senior citizens....but I was wayyyy off...haha

The font color/size/location of the title for each Seniors/Portraits/Weddings/etc...are inconsistent. Make sure they are identical.

Also...Photography Services Available is in a different size font in comparison to Digital Services Available.

Other than that...it looks great.

thanks everyone - i'll get it fixed up next week....off to oklahoma today...

Tiny things but noticible..
On your "Digital Services Available" page:
First section, line 2: remove the word "at"
Second section, line 2: Put a period after the word "request", remove the comma, and then capitalize "for" as the start of a new sentence.
Under slide scanning, 35MM is usually written as 35mm, not MM.
line 6: add an "e" to "mor"
line 6: decide whether you want a comma or an exclamation mark at the end of the sentence but only one is appropriate. Personally, I'd suggest using the period.
line 6: add an "s" at the start of the word "canned".
Last sentence in section: remove the "I" at the end of the sentence.

About the photographer section:
line 3: add a space between "my" and "dogs". Remove the comma after "dogs".
The "top notch equipment" line has the words out of order.
"While I am not the most experienced photographer on the block..." does not lend a lot of confidence from a consumer standpoint and lessens your bargaining (pricing) position. The rest of the sentence sounds good though but doesn't overcome the "not" statement in my view.
