Check out my website?

Would anyone care to browse my site and check it out. I have done some working on it and I am trying to decide if I want to dump it and go with a bludomain site or keep it.

Need more clients

But seriously, I wanted to make sure I had all the bugs out before I took time and uploaded tons of photos.

Hi Eric,

I think your site looks really good.

I have a few SMALL nit picks:

More photos as Darrel said. Perhaps have a "storyline gallery" that covers one job from engagement through wedding?

I noticed all your showcase photos on the front page have a thrown DOF. While they are all pretty, I think you should mix up your splashpage photos. Include a few that you shot with a higher DOF. (Not all clients get the thrown DOF thing. I do it every once in a while and I always crack up when a client tells me they love the photos, but why did I give them the "out of focus" one.-LOL)

Anyhoo, well done. I like the logo, the site is easy to navigate, and the photography is well done.

NOt much more to add, I like your ideas but I agree with Bennielou that you should probably have some more 'standard' pics simply because that is what most clients want. One extra thought however, right now I can download your pics without a problem and there is no watermark or copyright on them. You don't want you pictures stolen.... Other than that, the site looks good.

I made a few changes. I disabled right click. I probably wont add watermarks to my gallery images. I add them in the client section. I will work on some more standard pics for the homepage.

It looks pretty nice. There's something I would suggest you to do though: add an image on the homepage. It's a bit awkward seeing the whole background empty. I think it would be nice if people could make an easy first impression of your work.
