I posted an earlier iteration of this a week or so back but didn't get much input. It's essentially finished now and I'd love to hear some views on it. There's still a few things to do, like order the pictures as I wish, add meta tags, maybe add a preloader, but essentially it's done.
I like the site, I too use slideshowpro and man is it great. I personally like the thumbnails a bit bigger so I can see what I'm clicking to, again just what I like. Also on the contact page, I didn't see a submit but and it wouldn't let me scroll down. I use firefox on windows at 1280 x 800. Thanks and good luck.
It requires an adobe flash movie plugin, which it offers to supply. I don't want any unnecessary programs on my computer, so I declined. I might not be the only person with this experience/reaction.
Thanks for the feedback guys. Not going to flash over the flash issue, I knew that before I begun.
Thanks for pointing out the contact form issue, I need to sort that. I know that it 'technically' breaks usability guidelines, but I've disabled scrollbars so that the site will scale effectively from laptop sized screens right up to large desktops.
Love using Slideshow Pro Director... it took some editing before I had it as I wanted it, but the whole thing works brilliantly for me.
The hard bit was building the site so that it scales well and everything stays in place at a variety of resolutions.
Thanks very much guys. Just put the finished site live. Still a few tiny things to do, but mostly there thank god.... I find web design pretty frustrating!!! Cheers!
