Hi m dasco!

Firstly - I really like the look and feel of your site - it looks cool. However there are a couple of things that I think would make it even better: it looks like you may have created many of your elements in another program and inserted them as images. Unfortunately this has rendered the text a little difficult to read. The text beneath your nav buttons is not very clear - maybe just needs to be a tad bigger? Also on your Commercial work page, which is very ***** btw, the text in each block is too tiny and blurred to make out. Apart from those, I think you have done an excellent job. I share my thoughts with you because you are selling design - it needs to be A1. Well done, good luck and feel free to come back with any questions.

Hi M,

Its a great looking site, but i have to say it took a full 6 minutes for your frontpage to load on my dial up and theres a huge sideways scroll on my screen...i'm not an expert ..no where near ...so i dont know how you can make it faster to load, but i'm sure someone on here can, us poor people who still have dial up and havent yet reached the 21st century need to be taken into account ;o)

its looking good tho ...nice job

thanks amanda,

You're very welcome - as Lincslady Linda pointed out, I forgot, your images could do with re-sizing. I have 2mb broadband and they were slow to load on mine too. Use my link to the Help Centre and choose PixResizer from the downloads menu. It's a great little tool. Good luck :o)

m dasco,

You are a superb photagrapher- your pictures are top notch and I like the layout you have for the site. Amanda was right about the words being scrunched together.

Here is a little reference tool put together for displaying pictures in BV. Give it a look;

I suggest this as It also took a long time to load your pictures as they are very large (need re-sizing).

Also- If you want people to contact you- put your name and contact info on a full page in large print! You have too good of artwork to hide your contact info in very small print at the bottom of your page!

Anyway- Keep up the great work and we'll see ya on the web!

Re: my first website: tell me what you think

I agree with all above, it was slow to load on mine as well, I'm on broadband. Your work is beautiful though.

Very Creative and enjoyable to view. One point is that I would put your logo, copyright blurb on every page. Ditto with all that has been said already. Love the commerical work you have done! You are very talented. Good Luck!

Re: my first website: tell me what you think

Maybe increase or bold your photo nav bar words (home, photography, illustration, etc). Hard to read them but you have great photography and a great site to represent them...
