Just finished my website and wondered what people thought on it.

Yup tis great, like it...
Took a peek the other day as you were building it and it was a little lacking with images, but now its super

Mr Jones · 22 Nov 2009 at 23:25

I love it!
What did you use to create the site?
The only thing I didn't like was the 'Abstract' section... not really abstract are they?

pabloB · 22 Nov 2009 at 23:38

Lovely stuff Scott - was looking earlier on talk photography and forgot to leave a comment! You looking to make this tog lark a full time job then?!

I was gonna pop down your way and have a sneaky look at your studio but didn't realise Torquay was still 3 hours from Brockenhurst in the New Forest! - Pity.

Really nice Scott. Any chance of replacing the standard scroll bar with a 'designed' one to fit the style of the site?

You have some great work on there.

Thanks, yeh welcome anytime was thinking if a few of you wanted to come down for a studio day then that would be cool. Not full time as I have another business that takes up my time but definitely part time.

Very nice, clean and easy to us layout, no clutter and a nice colour scheme. Photos are gorgeous too.

It's very nice!
Only one thing I noticed, on your About section, just before the Title Logo there is a small blue dot... Distracted me, but I'm picky.
Using Safari.

Mr Jones · 23 Nov 2009 at 08:55

Urban or even Surreal will work

Yeh think Urban is the one.

This might be a personal gripe rather than anything more constructive but in the About and Contact pages I'd rather not see a link to Facebook. I'm guessing that since i dont have an account there its why I'm being asked if i want to connect with some Jennifer Webb woman rather than yourself? But also I understand the principle of Social Network sites and stuff but if you've got your mates having a laugh etc do you want to associate that with your career and how that could affect future clients opinions?

Also in the About section you've written 'Check me out at the following links' possibly not the ideal language to use in a business sense either. Perhaps something along the lines of 'More information can be found at the following links' seeing as they will also enhance your professional reputation, purestorm more than flickr, since its by other people in the business.

Apart from that I'd say its a fine site. Does exactly what it says on the tin

Looks pretty nice I think. One thing I will say is that it's a bit slow to load, but this is the same with all flash sites, really.

SteveOBHave · 23 Nov 2009 at 15:03

Not bad at all - the photography is most excellent, especially your fashion and portrait stuff.

Ok people looks like all the little problems have been sorted is there anything i'm missing still, my only niggle is the portrait/fashion link, should it be called one or the other or like it is ? http://www.scottmorganphotography.co.uk/

I agree with SS the scroll bar could do with replacing even if it's just changing the colours

A very nice layout and colour theme, the picture on the homepage fits the site and says what it's about, a good choice. My only crit. is that with the galleries the photographs are collected together, I think they could benefit by having some space and showcasing each one more.
