It's very nice, well thought out.
My screen is 1024 and I have to side scroll thats the biggest problem I found.
I wouldn't put music on your pages It would make them to slow,
I belive your on the limit of loading speed.

Lala..

Really amazing.. this one hell of a website.. so simple and shart, yet powerful and chique.. well done.. I absolutely love that style.

Now, the page dimensions needs to be adjusted, like narobe said, we have to scroll side ways to get the entire page..

Try to contain your page content within say 900px width.. you have a lot of room on your page so you can bring everything together a little bit more.

I also agree with Narobe about the music.. I honestly believe that one of the things that add to a photorgrapher's work is the silence.. how nice is it to view those images in total silence.

Congrats, you've produced a beauty.

I like the black and while theme, very soothing. I look forward to seeing the finished product.

Very elegantly done.
As mentioned above, pages are too wide.
Music, what music? If you do, please put in a mute button.

Hi Lala,

I'm also a huge fan of the B/W color scheme... obviously it's not the best for ALL sites, but it works for your site and your set up.

I'm not sure if you centered everything, but I would suggest you center those pages in the browser. It's difficult for me to tell the width, because I have a widescreen monitor and never have problems side to side, but as some have mentioned - 900px would be wise to stay within and centered.

Although, I can see you took some time with it and it would be difficult to adjust it shorter horizontally. (I went through this problem at first because of my monitor size). But it might benefit you to make the adjustments for the sake of many other visitors with the non-wide and lower res monitors.

Overall, I think your page looks beautiful! :) great work. It's late tonight and I don't have time to look through it all, but I'll be back soon to look at it more.

What they said.

And,

Nice site.

I love the pictures... Idea...what if rather than being so wide, the pictures went by in a banner motion? Or you could narrow your page to 800 and put in a slide show? At first blush I'd say moving banner...

Just a thought.

Great site. Be proud of it.

I'm partial to black and whete schemes so your site captured my attention right away.

As said above, you are very talented and I think your photographic eyesense works well with designing your site.

I'm anxious to see what you do next.

Great! Nice job!
If you decide to defy everyone and add sound, it is a
good idea to make it a short mp3 and have it repeat.
You can send me your favorite mp3 and I'll edit it down
for you to about 30sec. Then you just go to page properties, background, select sound and browse for
the sound file and add it. However, it is better to add
a player and set it on autostart so the viewer can stop
it if they want. There are lots of posts on this.
Just search for sound, audio or player.
Hope that helps.

Great site the only thing that I would change besides the side scorlling as already mentioned would be the picture on the "contact us" page. IMO I think it looks funny with all of the information bars running through the peoples faces. May try some sort of landscape or something along those lines instead. Other than that I think it looks great.

helganog · #14 09-18-2006, 09:37 PM

Hi,
Ditto to most of the above -
I don't much like music unless it's a music site!
Sideways scroll detracts from the viewing experience as the pages look off centre.
I like the layout on the architecture page - I found it easier to read than some of the others - but maybe you want the pictures to take centre stage - they are fabulous photos.
Looks very smart and classy.

Hi! Lala
Browsed your site. Good work! Keep it up.!!
The marquee scroll speed appears to fast for my eyes.
Since you have lots of pics on your website, advise me, to handle the pics as efficiently as you have done on your sight.

Hi everyone :)

Sorry for this late reply, was away for work. Thank you for all the comments made. I appreciate each of of them very much. I am currently revamping the website and will comeback again to the forum once it is ready. Hope all of you will come back to comment and advise me soon!

Cheers

Lala · #17 09-21-2006, 09:15 AM

Brad,
Appreciate your offer to help but i guess i am gonna take the advice not to have music, afraid that my webpage will be tortoise-slow to download.
Cheers

hello, lara
Seen you've changed the scroll and it looks fantastic,

"drop us an email should you be intrested to obtain the artists profile"
I'm not a grammer expert I'm spanish but I think it should say
"drop us an email if your intrested in obtaning the artists profile" perhaps some one out there knows better
