I'll give you two reasons... First, your home page tends to be bigger that normal making it slower to load. If I'm hopping websites with stumble and I hit a slow site I just click next rather than wait on the download. Second, most people have a wheel mouse ( and yes somne of them can scroll sideways) and are used to scrolling down.
If it was me, I would make your homepage smaller, put some info about yourself or your business there, certainly add an image and you have some great images to show, and then put a gallery on a second page (or pages). If photo-retouching is a significant part of the business, then add some before & after shots as well
I agree with Duncan. If the only purpose of the site is to show those images, it does the job. However, very few websites are created for the sole purpose of showing a few images. Usually you want to drive business or keep people returning to the site. I don't think this site does that.
Thank You for your opinions!
The site definitely needs more info & work in design.
Indeed the sole purpose of the site to show my work.
Best regards,
Edgar
I'm one of those "1024x768 users" took me a sec to figure out I had to scroll down to the scroll bar to scroll over to see the pics.
With the java script enabled I have 2 scrollbars at the bottom (when I scoll down to see it). Think it would be better if yeh just got rid of it. I guess yer trying for the "floating scrollbar" look, with the java enabled I have to scroll down to see it, with java disabled the scoll bars is at the bottom of the screen visible. Hope that make cents.
