Need your input...

Okay... I don't need it but I really want it.

This is about as off topic as it gets, I have redesigned a website:

http://www.dcolegrovephotography.com

Take a look and tell me what you think...

If you be a web techie tell me about the glitches...

I am still working on editing portfolio images so that may take a day...

Thanks for helping out.

I really like the olive green / black. Real modern and smooth, I like the site, simple and clean. I am an ex-graphic/web designer also btw. :)

Thank you... I sweat blood on this one...It's about the 10 iteration of my site since '04.

Any SEO guys want to chime in?

The site looks very nice, simple and easy to navigate.

Only two things bothered me and they may very well be a simple matter of personal preference.

Under portrait photography, the first picture the text is very hard to read (too dark/not enough contrast) and the picture of the girl looks weird, like an over done 'hdr' edit. Picture at the bottom of models section has this same 'hdr' effect, blown out and very soft/blurry. I would put cleaner pictures in those places where you are making first impressions.

You already know this I would imagine, but sometimes NOT listing prices on your web site for a service nets you more customers. There is something about a potential client picking up the phone and starting a relationship with you that gives you better odds of getting their work.

Other wise the site looks nice. I see you are in SB - I use to work with all the photogs there, Debbie Adams, ect. Oh and that madphoto bitch Madeleine. Kick her in the vagina for me if you run into her. She still owes me $500.

Looks good other than your little blurb needs a little rewriting to avoid some incomplete sentences and weak constructions and bring YOU more to forefront, but the site looks good.

EDIT: My cynical side would want you to be able to quantify this statement.

"Work directly with Daniel Colegrove, one of the top theatrical headshot and entertainment industry still photographers."

I like what I saw/read. One typo I found second line after How will you be dressed, "at you wedding":

How will you be dressed?

I am always dressed to suit the occasion. I am aware and sensitive to the fact that my presence at you wedding is an integral part of this most important day, right down to and including my attire.

I have been tortured about posting prices now for a while I find that it limits the "Can you shoot my wedding for $200 bucks" calls though.

Yes "Madiline" is a major waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles, what does she owe you for?..Maybe I can shame her into paying you.

I did a promotional DVD for her. I use to hear stories of her making brides cry on their wedding day. Anyways, good luck with the site.

No, not quiting cars...

I'm working on the images as we speak, I just scraped a lot of the old sites content into the new design and it needs a lot of tweaking.

Thanks for linking to it, any photography related anchor text will do
and maybe add: Ventura, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, California, Wedding...in there too.

If anyone would add links to this site on their website I'd greatly appreciate it!
