Charles_Webster Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 <p>Your "about me" text runs off the left side of the screen and is covered by the social media links<br> Your company name runs off the right side of the frame, even when I drag the scroll bar over to show it.<br> Your only samples seem to be the slide show on the home page. I can't tell how many photos there are, I can't tell where to find Senior Portrait samples or Wedding images. The home page slide show is fine, but you also need real portfolio page(s) so customers can evaluate your work.<br> Congratulations on putting your location on your home page. Most photographers make it difficult to find out where they are located, but do you really want random people dropping on your studio? I hope it's a studio, not your home that is so prominently marked on the map.</p> <p><Chas><br /><br /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd_emeott Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 <p>Thanks for the response, I did not even notice the "about me" section and that being an issue, I also like the fact that you noticed I should have a separate page or pages for a "portfolio" and not just the slide show, thanks much for the ideas. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochen_S Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 <p>I share the issue with social media / about me text.<br> http://www.erpicturestudio.com/services.html is hard to read on this old laptop's screen. - Dark grey text on black background. - Maybe add contrast? - I guess my screen isn't the worst imaginable some customers' might be more indifferent about dark tones.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sknowles Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 <p>Interesting. I use a specific browser window size (900w x 1024h) and the Web pages are lost off both sides and won't show with scrolling to the left and are half color half white background scrolling to the right. Whatever Web design app you used (GoDaddy according to the code which is hard to read as it's continuous lines), it doesn't account for various platforms and browsers. It only appears to work when I widen the browser window enough to show the whole page correctly. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay_smith10 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 <p>Lovely designing and layout. It is really gracious and the credit goes to those who has made this. I liked most its background color and slide show. But you can make descriptive by adding some description beneath it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sknowles Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 <p>Good point Rober K about context. I'm using a Mac Pro with OS-X Mavericks and tested it with 5 browsers, Safari, Firefox, Chrome/Chromium, OminWeb, and SeaMonkey, all with the same size settings, and got the same results, the Web design assumes a minium browser far wider than what I use and has problems with the presentations using a narrower browser. The design should accommodate the browser and the user shouldn't have to adjust the browser for the design to work.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
