The website has been given a Ph I overhaul. Please take a look and let me know what you think, any improvements, ideas, things you like or don't. On Phase II we will be adding more of the text to the pages. Each link will go to a text page, with additional links to the galleries, pricing, etc. The third phase will be to clean things up and tighten things up more. We have the 2 more phases to go but always good to get feedback along the way.

I love the clean look... the first thing I did was right click. It was a test to see if anyone could copy your work. Not that they do it, but it's done all the time. I would make the option not available, as a photographer, you honestly need this.

Otherwise the look is clean and simple. Two great things to have.

Okay, so the first time I went to it, I ended up on a Smugmug default page. I refreshed and got your site. Maybe you were working on it. m I'll try later

When I got your page, It was pretty plain. Next time it had a very well done header and looked much better. I did a "back" and it went to the smugmug default. You may be right, they nay be having issues or something is wrong with the domain mapping. Has anything changed?

No nothing has changed with the Domain Mapping but today we have noticed hick-ups here and there and ultra slow. I'll pass on what you are seeing to the help desk and my web guy.

LonestarMan just got a message from Smuggy - they are have tech difficulties and will resume shortly.

Comments on your site - the music is skipping for me, I like the clean and neat look - very precise. The on-line proof and galleries for your clients almost seems hidden on the pricing page. Your prices seem very low to me for the quality of work you are doing!

I got to look over most of your site before it went back to smuggy. I think the military thing you are doing is awesome! For my old eyes, I would like the font to be one size bigger. Your galleries are great. I tried to comment but it became to difficult with the spam prevention. But your pics are awesome. the proof delay is somewhat confusing and maybe a typo.

Quote:
Please be aware that on orders that involve more than one pro who has proof-delay in effect, the ship it button will not appear. The order will ship on the day noted.
I would try to simplify this for folks. I wise photographer once told me that a little wait builds perceived value. I'm not sure that it's that important to detail all that is going on.

Picture on Contact seems over sharpened.

I want a 40D and I miss my horses!

Thanks for the feedback on my site. I agree.

Very nice.

Thank you. I'll look at the font - I hadn't thought of that.

I will work on the proof delay - I like what the wise photographer once said - very true.

Thank you for the compliments.

I will look at the photo on the contact page, thanks for pointing that out.

I love the 40D - after using it i won't ever look backwards - the 20D is gathering dust.

I don't know what I would do without my horse.
