Looks like a pretty simple layout, easy to get to your images, copyright on the images, and a click to buy button.

 

Looks great! only wish I could have one like that.

Looks very nice indeed, great job. Your images stand out nicely against the site backdrop, and I like that you haven't used any crazy flash or animations to view photos, how you have it is nice & straightforward allowing your images to speak.

I like it! Lots of CSS and no Flash. Images really pop. Great job!

Fast and easy to navigate. Good photos. Not crazy about the gray background.

Thanks David

Your photographs are very, very good, and therefore it will be almost impossible for you to have a bad web site. That being said, and since you asked, you may want to consider simplifying the opening page. It starts to get a little busy as you scroll down. I'm thinking one of your two lead photos displayed larger, with your logo at top and either your menu bar or a simple "enter" link at the bottom, which would also be activated by clicking on the photo.

Took a look at your seascapes and just had to amplify a bit. On any given day in the gallery section of this web site there are a dozen or so similar shots - sunrise/sunset, foregrounds brought up either with a split ND filter or photoshop wizardry. It is becoming a cliche. However, your shots have composition elements that set them far above this crowd. Well done.

Very acessible.

 

I want to see pictures, you show me pictures.

 

Possibly you could make purchase more immediate. A price guide and checkout would be nice. You can do this though Photobox if that suits you.

 

Anyone who can make Gateshead look good deserves success.

Thanks Ellis, I take your point about it being a bit busy, I will have a look at a slight alteration.

Thanks Christopher,

 

I will be working on the checkout / price list next - am doing a bit of research to get the pricing / format right. Oh and Gateshead isn't that bad LOL

I like the site Nick. Only thing is I think maybe I spent too long on the home page taking in all the info there! Otherwise, great site and great pictures!

Thanks Kimberley, An interesting point never considered that - you could be right.
