I started this blog a couple months ago- so far I've gotten some feedback, but just from friends. I also have a website- feel free to critique that as well, but I've had that for a while. I'm making the move to Dallas very, very soon for my husband's job and have to start from scratch as far as a client base, so I know I'll have to invest some time in my marketing again.

Questions:
Does it load fast? Does it invite people to contact us? Is, as Seth Godin would ask, remarkable or invisible? Are there too many choices? Is it something people will tell friends about? Background too busy?

Thanks so much!
Erin

I have a pretty fast Mac... the site took forever to load:(
I think there are too many large pics on one page. You need to break it up into several pages. I couldn't wait till it finished loading... sorry. I did like the pics that came up within a couple of minutes, especially pics of your albums.

Clean looking site, but got a big problem... the front page contains 32MB of content which is way too much, so it's going to be as fast as for the viewer as their internet connection (and for anyone with even basic cable, that will take a while). Resize and use compressed images, replace the background (that alone is 1.6)... split in to multiple pages.

Other than that, looks good, keep it up :)

Thanks for checking it out and for all your suggestions. I will try to figure out how to break things up in a Prophoto Blog, if possible, and will make my future images a bit smaller.

Thanks so much for your help!!!
