It still needs a little bit of work, but I am working on it this week. I would like to get some feedback on what I have up there now. Scott, I borrowed your price structor if you dont mind. I will change that this week but I needed something in the mean time. If it is a problem PLEASE email me or PM me and let me know and I will take it down immediatly.
Thanks

something about those red radio buttons and the white font makes my eyes hurt a bit....I find myself blinking more than a few times to re-adjust and read them.....maybe i'm just nuts....

something is not right to my eye either(bullets, pics had too much transparency, to small to see details)... if you can't afford or don't want to spend $$ on pro-web designer it is understandable.. there are tons of templates that u can get for about $60-100 that looks realy nice. IMHO

k, i'm not all about buying templates or hiring someone..i'm not in that place yet, so here's what my suggestions would be..

1) a slightly larger font on the first page - and ditch times roman - i don't think it's attractive anywhere - use something like arial, verdana, in the 10-12 range. it's much easier to read as well.

2) lose the glitter text on concerts - unless you know how to do it extremely well, it often comes off looking cheesy.

3) fix the title on your index page - right now it reads "new page 1". Also, do you know how to add titles to the xml pages that simpleviewer produces? it would be nice to see "landscapes, or portraits" or whatever the page is referring to instead of just a blank gallery.

4) you should also consider adding your "all images are copyright......thing as a footer to each page - i think it would help to give it some balance.

5) make sure your titles on all pages are consistent - about and contact are way different sizes. the use of css can help here.

6) and lastly...perhaps a brighter shade of red for the rollovers? it comes across a little dark on my monitor.

i have purchased enough templates in the past, but have always ended up with something i have come up with on my own.

anyway - these are just some suggestions for you to consider

To me, having to click on the first title page, just to get to the main page with the same image is annoying. I would just take the visitor to your main page. Otherwise the above comments and that change would make for a good site!

I love back button or home button on each page that you don't have.

Just an fyi. The red/green color blindness is the most common. Red is not a color that I would use if you can avoid it.

Yeah... I second this one... I have used the same JAlbum-generated gallery before, but since it's Flash based, you can embed it into a page of your own... then add the navigation buttons...
