    Oh how sleek! LOVE your site, very nice! clap.gif

    (Just a tiney little thing ... you don't see the title for "families" & "tots" very well in the "main gallery", maybe you could change the text to white ...)

    Congrats to the new page!

    Congrats! Very nice site!! I like the simplicity....not too complicated and easy to maneuver. You don't mention in the pricing when the balance of the payment is due, (whether it is due upon shooting or not.) You post very large (nice to view!) shots in your blog which could easily be screen-captured. Your watermark isn't so intrusive that this would deter people from copying and hinder sales of prints. I hope you're getting paid before blogging!!! The only things I noticed was the category labels are difficult to read on the gallery main page (the sliding shots) and I wasn't sure if the calendar was functional or just a calendar...it's a little odd the way it laps over into the next month. Other than that, I really like your site. Good luck in your venture! thumb.gif

    Ouch. First thing I saw on your homepage. You have maternity spelled materninty.

    OK, now I'll go back and start looking:D

    Looks very nice, Stephenie! I like the colors and layout. I agree with Saurora that some of your titles on the Galleries page are tough to make out. Also, the contact page is difficult to navigate...the info boxes aren't a contrasting color, so it's hard to tell where to enter info. If you guess and click in the right spot, the title for that box disappears into the background color. (Hope that made sense.)

    Congrats on a beautiful new site! I hope business booms! :D

    Lol I was looking through your website and all of a sudden made the connection. Was the picture of LM that gave it away. Love it! Great look, easy flow from each section. thumb.gif

    The only other thing I noticed was that you put copywright instead of copyright. Which to my understanding are two different things. Isn't that right? ne_nau.gifrolleyes1.gif

    The calendar - to what use are you planning to put this? Is it for the clients to book? For them to know if you are available on a given day? Also, the arrows are the same color as the background, making it impossible for your guests to navigate.

    Be proud of it iloveyou.gif the necessary edits are minor, and the overall feel of the website is fresh and interesting. It will definitely draw people in to see more of what you have to offer. Very nice!

    If you can't change the arrow colors, may I suggest you change the color of the background upon which they appear. You need to make it easy for your visitors to navigate your site.

    EDIT:
    I posted it looks like a bludomain template but deleted the post since I wasn't sure if the OP wanted to reveal where it came from. There are also a few startups that piggybacked on the bludomain wave so my guess is exactly that, a guess.

    I'm posting this back up so no one thinks Travis talks to squirrels!:D

    BTW:
    Bludomain boasts that it is fully editable. This isn't really true though. Bludomain doesn't release the .fla files that actually create the visible site. They just allow you to change the environment variables.
