One more thing, on you wedding pricing pdf you have the packages in this order:
Bronze, Gold, Silver, Platinum
The order should be Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum (Your Gold package should be more expensive than your Silver package.)
ncrachickParticipantI am more qualified to review the website instead of the images. Here’s my take on the website:
The first page needs to go. There is no reason to have visitors click to enter the website.
The slider feature on the main page could be confusing to visitors. I would just have a few pics posted that fit on the page and maybe have the images rotate. Remember to keep it simple so all of your visitors have a good experience when visiting your site.
On the About page I would have someone review your text and rewrite it to be more professional. There are commas between sentences instead of periods
On the Image Gallery page I would capitalize the word Gallery so it is consistent with the rest of the headings.
In the drop-down menu Family’s should be Families
Calendar Page – When I click on any of the dates nothing happens. What is the purpose of this page?
Contact Us – Since you seem to be the only photographer, I would change this to Contact Me to make it more personal. I also have an issue with asking people to enter their information on a form that is not secure.
Pricing Downloads – Why not just have the pricing listed on the page and then give visitors the option to print the info? Would be much easier for visitors. Also, what is up with “To see our price lists please contact us through the Contact Us page and we will send you the password.”? Your price lists are there on the page for downloading so why would a visitor need to contact you for a password?
Information/What to Wear: You have a heading for Do’s but no heading for Dont’s. I would change this to be consistent. 2nd sentence “when” is misspelled. 3rd sentence “to” should be “too”. Next sentence “tyour” should be “your”. 2nd paragraph “paterns” should be “patterns”, “dont” should be “don’t” and add a period at the end. 3rd paragraph 2nd sentence first word “layers” should be capitalized, “makes” should be “make”. “add” should be capitalized. Last paragraph 2nd sentence “your” should be “you’re”
Information/What to Expect – Last paragraph “fot” should be “for”. Last sentence is not complete – “We will email you when your gallery is up for”
Information/Boudoir Portrait Parties – Make the headings bold and remove the underlining. Never underline text on a web page unless it is a link. By this point I am tired of reading so that’s all I have for that page.
Blog – Again, I’m too tired to read anymore but I think the Blog is a great way to let visitors get to know you better.
Client Proofing – I’m not sure why you have the client select the photos they want and THEN you will edit them. I would think you would want to edit prior to the client viewing so they see the images at their best.This is by no means a full analysis of the site. It’s just the few things that caught my eye in spending about 5 minutes on your site. Best wishes to you and I hope I have not come across as mean or anything. I by no means am perfect myself and all of these errors are easy to make.
ncrachickParticipantI was reading this site on my iPad. I was unable to view your website because it is flash based so I had to move to my iMac to view it. Loose the flash. Anyone using an iPad or iPhone will not be able to view your site.
Suggestions:
Loose the music or, if you feel you absolutely have to have it, at least provide the visitor with a way to stop the music.
Free sites tend to not look professional since they require you to include their name on the site. It’s distracting to visitors and doesn’t look good. Go the extra to have a professional looking site and pay for it.
Do you have a business logo? If not, you should and it should be used in the header on the home page. Don’t just use text. Doesn’t look professional.
Your visitors should not have to be told how to navigate your site. If they can’t easily view your portfolio they will move on to another site. You need to have a cleaner looking image gallery that requires no instructions to view it.
On the “Contact Me” I suggest keeping it simple and just name the page “Contact”. The word “Me” is really not needed.
Also on the Contact page, loose the black background in the text field. It should be the same background color as all the other pages on your site. There is no reason for this one page to have the text on a black background and it is more difficult to read.
Your email address needs to be clickable so the user is taken to their email client when they click on it instead of having to copy/paste the address. It’s simple code: <a href”mailto:someone@example.com>Send Email</a> Note: the text between > and < is what will actually appear on the webpage.February 20, 2013 at 4:18 pm in reply to: I would like some opinions on my website &/or photos #6931ncrachickParticipantI agree with nairbynairb that the banner/logo needs to be more defined. Also, I would removed all underlining from your headings. You shouldn’t use underlining unless the underlined text is a link. I also noticed your email address isn’t a link. I would make it a link so it’s easier for visitors to just click on your email address to send you an email.
I checked it on my ipad and iphone and the mobile version looks great too!

November 25, 2012 at 11:36 pm in reply to: Will someone please go tell this woman she is a fauxtog? #4789ncrachickParticipantOh my. Out of all of the pictures I looked at on her page, I could not find one that I thought was decent. It was like viewing the scene of an accident. The one that really got me was the “belly” shot where the girl has visible hair stubble on her stomach.Sure it happens, but why not edit it out to make her look better?? I would be pissed if that was me in the pic and it was posted on FB. Someone PLEASE take the camera away from this person! I don’t see her improving at all.
