It's still a work in progress as only the home page, three of the portfolio pages work, you can't actually order anything and it's a bit of a ***** to maintain as it's all currently static html.

BUT apart from that not looking too shabby, hopefully get something fully functional soon :). Some of my design decisions may have been influenced by other peoples websites but I'm sure everyone does that to some extent.

Nice work matey. I first thought you had worked out a way to remove the 'Clikpic' wording from the template, but realised its ever so slightly different. Looks good in white though. Glad you opted for the square thumbs as I don't think the formatting works when there is a mixture of landscape and portrait crops.

That's a great looking site.

I might have to jump on the clikpic bandwagon as they are better than my attempts :p

note although clikpic helped decide on a few layout decisions, it is NOT clikpic :)

Yeah just trying to figure out the best way to display a larger size portrait image with this design, they'll have to be smaller than the landscape images otherwise it'll break stuff.
 
good simple layout that does exactly what its meant to. I like that. One thing is though, disable your 'macro' portfolio as you've done with the pricing etc links until its ready cos theres nothing worse than the Error 404 on a site. :)

Not a problem anymore ;)

Need to get some more macro shots me thinks.
 
Looks great:) Pretty much identical to the photoshop mock up.

I'm not sure the portfolio buttons work though. They look a bit untidy, and if you zoom in and out of the page (ctrl+scroll) they no longer line up with portfolio.

Maybe make the title a graphic too, rather than text. Then you can adjust the spacing slightly and it might render a bit better on screen, it's a bit choppy for me in firefox with no aliasing. (i think)

Why don't you make the 'paulstathamphotography' header a link back to the home page. Most folk would assume it was, as it's a common nav feature.

good idea, and implemented :)
 
Very nice mate, I'm having my new site built as we speak and theres so so much to consider, always good to ask other peoples opinions as it's easy to miss something! :)

I completely forgot I actually want a blog in my site, your thread reminded me as a blog is mentioned and I've left an offline message for the guy developing mine :p





He's going to hate me by the time it's finished :D
 
Nice Site. :)

The only suggestion I would make would be, in your menu where the link items are done using a list, instead of having the | character in your markup, it would be better to have a border property in the styling (CSS) of your list items, for example,

Code: 
ul li { border-right: 1px solid #000; }

You'd then probably need some padding too but it would achieve the same effect.

But yeah, only a minor suggestion, really like the layout and colour scheme. :)
