can i ask for feedback on an unrelated site that i built?

hi lindsay,

here are my regular person thoughts.

I like that the colors pop on the photos, which is whats most important. i like the concept where each link has its own heading just below the nav bar, though it seems just a tad top heavy. but still very nice.

I also like that its everything looks super clean. all the pictures are aligned, clean edges, etc. The borders on a lot of the pictures are also nice.

For some constructive criticism: I feel like the 2 navigation bars are a bit overwhelming. maybe you can cut those to half a dozen or so. or maybe split up login, cart, checkout and stick everything on the black bar into "portfolio." just a thought.

the text below the pictures on the left side seem a little out of place. and i also feel like there is a lot of different fonts on the front page.

i just went through the same process and didnt like the typical, "looks good" responses, always liked the goods as well as the bads so i hoped this helped. Its a very nice site and youre definitely in the right direction. hope im a help.

good luck

WOAH.. where do they not line up?! i am OBSESSIVE with that stuff, and on my screen, it is perfect.. What kind of monitor are you looking at the site on?

I also agree with the top heavy with the double banners, but then i thought, its a photography site, you kind of expect it to be a little heavy in places anyways.. If i make the ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY banner smaller, it would look unbalanced.

I'm not sure how I would cut the navigation bars down more?? I was actually going to take OUT the "portfolio" link and replace it with a HIRE ME or PRICING link.. which wouldnt really make it less cluttered.

I just dont know where i would put the login, cart, checkout links??

I was thinking about adding a box on the right with a login form, but then again, people dont REALLY log in until the have to, which is at checkout.. and i didnt want to remove the checkout link because sometimes people dont realize that they can click the shopping cart image to checkout.. so i wanted to make a second, more obvious link. Hmm.. maybe i can add a CHECKOUT button inside of the shopping cart box.. that would get rid of that Shopping Cart AND the Checkout, becaise i can make the CHECKOUT link bring them to the shopping cart contents, where they view the contents and THEN checkout.

WOO HOO good idea!!!!

I like the negative just as much as the positive..
