Pretty cool site. Obviously sleek. I've always liked your work too. In two seconds though I noticed some mechanical stuff that was wrong (maybe full screen would fix these things, but most people will view your site in the browser window):
So I finally had my site professional done... instead of being cheap and making it myself. Anyways, it's that time again! I always appreciate the honest (and blunt) critiques I get here... so once again I am submitting my website for your critiques.
This websites does not work well for slow internet connections, I will tell you this. If you have a 56K connection, don't bother... I figured most people have at least DSL, so it shouldn't be a problem for most. Each image is about 185K, just a heads up.
Oh, and if you have a large monitor, check it out full screen. That is my favorite option, by far!
And here is my new site: http://davidteran.com/
Comments and critiques are appreciated... on the website, and even on the photography!
Thanks!

balli, what's your screen size? i tried the site out on a 13" monitor, and i didn't have that problem...
and thanks, glad you like it!
I don't exactly remember your original site, but I remember it being better than this.
13" 1024x768
I don't know. I'm running some third party graphics tool on Linux and my display probably isn't configured none too well. Probably a problem on my end, but yeah, there it was.
Awesome work. I love your lighting. Which park did you shoot the senior photos at?
Slick website, but the cursor that changes from a crosshair to a horizontal bar and back doesn't have very smooth animation. Perhaps it's a Flash bug though, as I'm using Firefox on Ubuntu Linux 10.04 32-bit with Adobe's Flash Plugin, and Adobe's plugins have been lousy for Linux.
If you're testing, full details are:
Firefox 3.6.12 using Adobe Flash Plugin
Linux Kernel 2.6.32-25
Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit
FWIW, I briefly checked out your site on my phone. Didn't poke around in any of the sub menus so it might be there, but it would be cool if there was a link to the full site. I hate mobile sites. I guess it was designed for flashless iphone, but android heads like me would use a full site link.
here is a screenshot of my old site... you really like it better than this one? i am in love with this site...
thanks! the senior photos are actually taken all over San Antonio.. not one specific park.
i've actually never tested this site on a Linux computer... that sucks to know that, though.
actually, the full flash site can be seen on an Android site... if you have mobile sites turned off in your browser settings. i don't have an iPhone.. and i hate the iPhone version of the site. i am planning on changing it, soon... not sure how to override the mobile version...
I was looking at your blog and the most recent two, you said something about it was taken at a park you love, near your studio. Sorry I wasn't more specific. Looks like a great setting, though.
oh, Friedrich Wilderness Park, across the street from the Dominion.
Haha... no cross browser testing.... that little problem wouldn't have happened had you gone with my company!
Do you have to use that upskirt picture for your homepage? Might give off the impression that you are into some kind of artsy fartsy softcore porn pictures or something.
Your website as a whole is good though. I like.
it's been tested on so many browsers.. that's why i'm curious at this. and i didn't remember that you worked on websites!
how much would have that site cost me with you?
ughh. the "upskirt" picture wasn't intended to be an "upskirt" picture.. everyone tells me that, but that wasn't my intention.
i have it as my homepage because that image just happens to grab the most attention, IMHO.
I definitely like your pictues though, I'm going to bookmark your page. I wanna take some pictures right now while I have my youth and with different beard styles.
I don't smile though, don't pressure me to smile.
Looks great on my 15" laptop screen. Love the thumbnail feature.
have you ever thought about expanding ur business into other areas like calender shoots, bikini shoots, or instead of taking wedding photos, how about providing the who photos and video recording of the wedding and providing a band or karaoke system...
I like the website. Your work is also really good.. helps to have some good looking women (high school seniors - either way) on there too tbh
Same issue here.
It's not a cross browser problem (just FYI I use FF).
My browser is always a window on my desktop (full resolution 1920x1200) and the browser is roughly half the width when the overlap of the nav buttons and phone data happens. If I stretch the window of my browser wider or go full screen, the problem disappears.
It's just an error in the dynamic resizing/positioning (i.e. when the window is too narrow they should go into two lines and not overlap - like if you look at the links in the banner of Spurstalk and keep on make the browser window narrower).
Talk to the designer, he should be able to fix it.
Slomo, can you send me a screenshot, please? this should NOT be happening... especially on a 1920x1200 browser...
thanks. i want to send something to the designer.
Sure
Here's how it usually looks on my PC. As I said I always have th ebrowser in a window about half my desktop (as in the picture). If I make the window larger or go full screen the problem obviously go away. But even at half the desktop size there's enough room to avoid the issue - just a minor tweak really.
The way you've separated your portfolio seems odd, to me.
"Portable Art" is unclear and feels like a made-up term. I would find a way to describe that style of your work more simply.
Additionally, the division of your portfolio into "Commercial" and "Senior Portraits" is a strange choice, since all of your work is in fact commercial. Were it my website, I would keep the senior portrait section separate, since that's clearly where you're looking to most directly advertise prices and services, but I would replace the "Commercial" heading with "Portfolio," and then le the sections within according to their contents. Maybe differentiating between studio and non-studio work, since I think that's what your "portable art" is getting at.
It's all good bro. Actually, I don't do a whole lot of web marketing lately. We are about to release our first brain interface video game in late December. FYI I would have done it for a few hundred and some trade. -- but it looks nice bro!
