<p>Dartmoor. Definitely Dartmoor.</p>
Just finished (I think) my website. Any critique would be great!
in Website Creation

<p>For me loading speed is a little slow but not too bad - acceptable, I'd say. Like the others that have responded so far, I am using Firefox.<br /> My main comments for improvements - basically I agree with most of the things Rich Simmons says. Here's my take:</p>
<ul>
<li>To me, the font isn't that readable when small, such as on the 'About' and 'Prints' pages. It is especially unreadable when rotated - i.e. the "view large on black" rollover text on thumbnails. In fact, to me it looked so difficult to read on the thumbnails that I didn't bother at first.</li>
<li>The font does look very stylish when larger though - on your headings, logo and menu.</li>
<li>However, it would be nice if the logo and page title didn't take up quite so much vertical space. It means that you <em>always</em> have to scroll down to fully see the picture you've just loaded. On the thumbnail screens I only get one and a bit rows of thumbnails when they load (three whole rows when scrolled down). And I don't have that low a resolution screen (1600x1200).</li>
<li>Not sure that I like having specifically to click the "view large on black" text to load an image. You expect a click on an image to do that, but the fact that this doesn't work on your site makes it feel a bit broken. With this and my first comment, I think I'd just get rid of the rollover text.</li>
<li>Again as Rich and others have said, the lack of navigation to other images is a bit frustrating and, compared to photo websites in general, again makes it feel a bit broken.</li>
</ul>
<p>Hope this is useful,<br /> Regards, Mathias.</p>
