Please everybody help with my Dad's website

[ilesal]

My Dad has put a lot of effort into creating his own photography website and he is after constructive feedback on how to improve it further. Please remember it's only just gone live and is his first attempt at anything like this. Can you please take a look around the site and leave feedback in a reply post to this thread.

I will then give him everyone constructive feedback. Thank you very much!

The best part of his website is it s very neat and clean. He should add more contents into it.

It looks good!

Inside of the galleries it took me a little longer than I would have liked to find the thumbnail view, maybe he would like to make it easier to view that way. Such as when you click on "non-british wildlife" or any other gallery it will first go to a thumbnail view of everything, and then upon clicking a specific picture it will take us to the slideshow view.

I agree with suprattalljdm. If it gave a thumbnail view instead of a slideshow by default, I think that would improve it. It looks good!

Wow...his photography is great

Is he offering any as wallpapers?

 

[ilesal]

Thank you...I have started to pass on your suggestions. I will see if I can get some full size images just for you guys to use as wallpapers. The photos on the site are just a small collection of his work.

Here's what I've been working on, but I don't use Flash ... maybe you can get some ideas of what to try and what not to try ...

Improbably Structured Layers

The photo galleries are in the Beauty section, or just click on the front image.

I agree with Zidane24 wow! Really great photos. Very crisp. I especialy like the fox.

Your Dad might want to see how the site looks under different browsers. Suggest that he try this site out - Check Browser Compatibility, Cross Platform Browser Test - Browsershots

I took a look at your Dads website, it is clean, while it could have more content with a bit different names if it starts to get bigger.

I found it nice, but I wish i could see a row of thumbnails like everyones said, then before you can click that there should be a sideshow button function where its easily visible to someone.

But if we want to look at a specific picture, take us to the picture with a bigger image size. Since it is photography, I like to see the details of photo instead of it being small and having to move into my monitor screen.

[ My explaining sucks so i apologize beforehand if you don't understand a word i said ]

Btw let him know he has some great shots and The reason id like to see higher resolution is because they do look great and some could be some nice wallpapers.

** It works in Opera just fine since i saw TheSchafts post about the compatibility

Thanks for everyone's comments, everything is being forwarded to my Dad, please check the site again in the future to see how it improves.

Very impressive photography.

If it was me setting up a business I would put a small watermark on each picture - just to prevent copying. I would also move the info bar so it dosen't obscure the picture - it ruins the gorilla at 1180.

They are excellent pics tho. would love some as wallpaper for my desktop.
