Hey Jenna

Great Start, your pictures load reasonably quick. I would lengthen your home page as I can't see the bottom of the picture.

We all have to start somewhere and your certainly heading in the right direction. I don't know if a flash template is an advantage as sometimes simple is better.

Well done so far

Jenna,

Great! start here a few things I noticed. KEEP YOUR NAME LOGO CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT YOUR WEBSITE. "Jenny D. Photography" should not move around throughout your web pages as your site is being surfed, also, keep your Menu Bar consistent as well. On the Home page you have HOME, GALLERIES, INVESTMENT AND CONTACT US, but when you click on CONTACT US, "WHAT TO WEAR" appears. These items should be reliable and consistent throughout your site. This is just me but I feel your Menu Bar should be on the left side of the page, instead of running into you nice Logo above.

Best of Luck

Daniel

great start like the home page, on the gallery i would try to make your pictures all the same size, as some of them only fill half the screen while other are too large to see without scrolling.

Maybe you should either have more info on your home page or don't have a link to the home page. After all, why would someone want to go to the home page if there is no info on it? Over all I like your logo and layout. Keep up the good work! :)

Several things I noticed, the photo sizing (already discussed), check your spelling and grammer on your pages. I noticed several pages had typo's, repeated words and missing words. In the photos I also noticed several of them are repeated with slight color changes, I think that users will think this is a mistake. And finally I agree that you need more content on your home page, that is where users decide to go further (or not).
