Great choice of photograph for the homepage. (Girl hugging groom with bouquet of flowers) Makes me feel so happy and want to continue to explore the site. The colour saturation, brightness, and contrast are spot on. Seriously, mate, GREAT CHOICE. The logo also goes well with the picture.
The layout of the subsequent pages (and the background pictures chosen for each) are also very good. The background from "Contact us" is especially nice. By extending the shot in PS, the widescreen effect works very well and gives you room on the left to put in the text.
The menu at the bottom is easy to use. It's fool proof--unlike most Flash sites I've seen.
The gallery/thumbnails are laid out very well. Navigation is intuititive.
Even though the sound fits the wedding picture, I was glad I am able to turn it off. One should ALWAYS be able to turn off sound in a website.
In conclusion, great work on the site!
And lastly, but certainly not least, great photographs. The wedding shots are beautiful and evocative. You truly managed to capture those little moments in life.
If you have DSL or Cable this would be a great site. For regular dial up modems it took me about 4 minutes to load first photos and the music is intermittent at first then comes on constant. I personally don't like the music but others may.
Great photos and very well done but probably too much for regular dial up service.
I too don't like the music --especially if I'm browsing the net in places where I should be doing something else however if you use Firefox (Mozilla) you can customise it a bit.
I see the button on your site to turn the music off, but it seems that not everyone does. A website by another FM member has an interesting way of dealing with the music on or off issue.
My only recommendation is to change your "Meet The Artists" copywriting to be less "religious" in tone. Since people feel very strongly about their spiritual views, and statistically speaking, the majority of the people have different views than you, it's always best to keep these things out of business communications.
Other than that, I think your photography is excellent and the design of the site it top notch. Best of luck to you and your famlily in the new year.
