I'm nearly done with this website now and would GREATLY appreciate ANY feedback, suggestions.... please.

http://360photostock.com

Only three things left to do

1. upload a LOT more photos, key words, captions
2. finish my last two nav link / pages (links & photo services)
3. replace the temporary home page graphic with a finalized one
4. address anything you come up with that could be improved?

Thank you in advance, your blunt feedback is very valuable to me!

    I prefer the look of category pages with the galleries shown 3 or 4 across the page. If you changed to that format your viewer shouldn't need to scroll to see all of the galleries. If you're interested, see #10 and 11 in the advanced customization FAQ at You should probably remove the breadcrumb and the "this is a brand new gallery with no photos" from your contact page.

    Breadcrumb removal, # 25 in advanced customization FAQ.
    Remove "brand new gallery no photos", # 60 in advanced customization FAQ.

    I'd recommend checking your pricing. When I clicked buy this photo in galleries other than "all business" I was sort of presented the option to buy a youth sweatshirt. I say sort of because it said that the image is too small to buy this item. I don't think you intend to sell sweatshirts, right?

    Last night, I removed the sweatshirt option... that was an error on my part, thank you. I was just thinking two MINUTES ago......

    these galleries need to be 4 across! :-)

    And you brought to my attention something that went right by my eyes....
    the gallery mention on home page!

    THANK You, Denise!

    How did your remove the sweatshirt option? Because it's still there if I click buy photo...

    Can't be
    Denise, I just double checked my custom pro pricing and there's nothing but
    0.00 in the price of all items other than the commercial licensing. When I removed the sweatshirt item, all I did (as I did on any items I did not want to appear) is put 0.00 in the price column.

    Please DO let me know which gallery it is still appearing in.... if it is now?

    BTW: do the photos appear to be displaying properly? Color etc.? Because on my other computer, the images appear darker.... different monitor with no profile set up yet though.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    It's still showing in all galleries except for All Business.

    Have you checked using a browser where you're not logged in?
    For example, use Firefox logged in and IE not logged in?

    Also - I clicked on the buttons photo in all business, and it's showing as not available at 4 megapixels because the image is too small. Do you think you should split the too small images into a separate gallery?
