zootshooter Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 <p>Hi, I've gotten too frustrated trying to build a proper website with no webskills or cash, but I still wanted to have a place to showcase my work, where I can point any prospective buyers or exhibitors towards. So, I settled for a wordpress photoblog set up that I've been adding to daily, which I do quite enjoy, and I hope this will help bring my work to a wider audience. If anyone here is running a photoblog, I'd love to hear any advice you may have, and all criticism is welcome from anyone interested in giving my work a perusal. <br>The address is www.feargalnorton.com<br>Cheers for it checking it out. <br>Feargal</p><p><img src="http://zootsuiter.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/hires11-e1311442253443.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="565" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wood Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 <p>The initial impact of the site is good, but I would consider changing the background from black to gray. It's easier on the viewer's eyes. You have some interesting photos on your site, but I would limit the posting of photos to only your very best if your primary goal is to attract buyers. You could also consider creating tabs for different genres of photos, instead of dumping them all in one place. I maintain a website for our camera club using Wordpress and have figured out how to add more tabs under the header photo (<a href="http://www.chicocameraclub.org/blog/">http://www.chicocameraclub.org/blog/</a>), although it depends on which theme you have chosen.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rory_gordon Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 <p>I would second that, adding a tab with a "Best of" section would help people find your strongest images quickest. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zootshooter Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 <p>Thanks a lot for the input. I agree that I could do with some more categories for my pics, but I'm going to let my images accumulate a little more before I bother trying to sort something easier to navigate out. For now, the tag cloud system will just have to do. As for the quality of images, I agree that visitors to my site enjoy some more than others, but again, I'll wait until I've got a larger library of images before I start designating which of my images are best, or allow visitors to vote for them. <br> If anybody could offer me any advice as to how I could add a shopping cart to my site, I'd be very grateful for any pointers especially if I could do so for free. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
