    The first thing that jumped out at me is that there are no photos showing (until I scroll down) when I enter your site on my phone (using a Lumia Icon running Windows). I would think you would want a splash of color showing immediately on entry to your site as opposed to the current all text view.

    When holding the phone in Portrait mode your site name is cut off - the X is only partially showing.

    When holding the phone in Landscape mode the menu bar and your logo / tag line uses the entire vertical space. When holding the phone in Portrait mode it takes half of the vertical space. I would recommend using only your site name and not the additional words when your site is viewed on a mobile device the size of a phone. I haven't looked on a tablet to see if there is a similar issue there.

    I've never understood why the site login link is made available on a smugmug site. That is only for your use - another smug user could use it but that would take them away from your site. Why not hide that link? You can always log in at www.smugmug.com.

    Yes. See http://www.aaronmphotography.com/Customizations/Sitewide/Screen-Width-Customizations as a starting point.

    Ok thanks I added that and changed the logo to make it fit on a iPhone screen. I still feel the mobile version will give me a high bounce rate. Anyine got any suggestions?
