Photography site coming along nicely.

What do you guys think? Shy on the content again due to a server crash yesterday. I also need to get rid of the stuff at the bottom. http://cjganttphotography.com/

I like it. One suggestion I would have, is the green text for the top menu. I don't like it, maybe try white with a green mouseover? I think that would look more professional IMO. just my .02 of course, take it if you wanna use it. :P

Good job using that Tag Cloud, it works really well on your site. Removing the brand at the bottom shouldn't be hard, I found mine in a PHP file. I would offer to find it for you, but considering what I did to TMWB I'll let you try.

That tag cloud is killer!

That tag cloud is killer!

I'll take full credit for him finding that while he searched for a tag cloud module for me. :lick:

Here's my two cents in picture form. I'm just being nit picky really, the site looks pretty good as-is. You definitely need more "about me" info though. How many years have you been in the business, why should I pick you, etc etc. I'm sure you already knew that and have something in the works.

Anyways, the site was feeling a little lopsided, so I tried to even it out a bit and also made some subtle changes.

Other suggestions that I just thought of would be to change "Home" to "About me" and to lower the left and right columns down just a touch so the "Home" section is just slightly above them.

Just a matter of playing with the themes css file. Last time we did that it did not turn out well. Fragged a whole site by just changing a hex code. See Datech's comment below.

No problem buddy. It was not your fault.

Thanks. full credit for it goes to the guys who designed that module for drupal.

I like that look. I honestly was thinking about removing the sign in from the main pages and just adding it to a separate sign in page which would be linked to somewhere at the bottom. The only people who will need to sign in are my clients who request password locked galleries.

I will be adding the about me info in the net few days. I had that page all typed up and just did not publish it yet. When the server crashed the night before last I lost that page.

Anymore comments about the site guys? Please feel free to rip it apart and critique everything. I want this site to stand out above my competition.

How do you guys feel about a Specials page where I list my monthly specials and discounts? I was thinking about doing this on the home page but I feel that the first page people see should stimulate them visually so that they want to dig deeper into the site. I read somewhere that with a website you have 3 seconds to get someones attention. If it takes longer than that most people will move on to the next one.
