Critique

<p>Hello all. I finally built myself a website. Please critique. The sight is not 100% yet but looking for critique on basic design as well as ideas on how to improve it. All comments are welcome. I am using smugmug as a host. Does anyonle else use smugmug? Are you happy with them? Anyway thanks in advance. The site is <a href="http://www.bkgphoto.com">www.bkgphoto.com</a></p>

<p>You might double check all your gallery settings. Some have photos that can be downloaded by anyone, they aren't all 'protected'. I use smugmug as well and like it fine. They have real good customer service and I find their site easy to use.</p>

<p>Thanks Ill check on that</p>

<p>How do U protect photos then, do a flash site? <br>

Watermark? <br>

What about if I dont want to have a watermark on my pictures. Even if I have at the top or bottom corner, it can be easily cropped... </p>

 

<p>I really like that 4th picture in the landscapes. Green stones and waterfall, cool stuff! Keep it up!<br /> </p>

<p>Thanks M M Id like to know how to protect them better without a watermark as well</p>

<p>You can protect them by going into the galleriy, select <em>tools</em>, <em>customize gallery</em> and then go down to the 'protected yes/no' and select <em>yes</em>. Then people shouldn't be able to pull your photos directly from the site. As far as I can tell, you have to do that every time you create a new gallery.</p>

<p>There is also a feature where you can create a watermark to go on your photos when viewed, there is a walk-through that explains how to do that on smugmug. If you haven't already, check out their FAQ.</p>

<p>Nice photos, however, never never never have an "under construction" indication anywhere in your site. If it's not ready to publish then don't. Just my not so humble opinion.</p>
