My website re-vamp

JeffH · #1 (**permalink**) 19-09-2010, 06:17 PM

Hi folks,
I've recently spent many hours upgrading and updating my website, with the addition of a number of new custom pages and galleries and would appreciate any feedback from WAB members as to the site's design, layout and functionality, etc.
I'm still in the process of adding a number of new images but it's your views on the overall feel and operation of the site that I'm interested in please.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time and trouble to have a look -

Its very obvious just how hard you have worked on your new updated site - like it - its a work in progress and a very demanding taskmaster needing 'feeding' new images on a regular basis!! Well done its a treat Jeff

Looks good.

One thing I would have done myself is put 'something' in the top left corner above the menu. Perhaps the title should stretch across the top of the ment of a box in the format.style of the menu. Mind you thats just my taste

Hi Jeff,

I have just spent several minutes looking at your site which I found to be very interesting and informative.
I look forward to returning now and again to view your progress.
I must add that I recognise your 'mis-spent youth' activities as they appear to be very similar to my own. Think it was just what 'country boys' did in these days. Like you it was my start to a continual interest in wildlife and some 60 years later that interest remains.

Keep up the good work.

A good website, easy to use and beautiful images too (of course) - I like that you have an abstract section (this is often my favourite type of picture!)

Funnily enough I have recently been revamping my photium site as well

Looks good to me, will definitely be popping back now and again!

Thanks Pauline, your comments are very much appreciated - especially as they come from someone I regard as one of WAB's very best photographers. And thanks for the website comment on the 'moss covered trees' photo - you must remember to get one when your next up in the Highlands

Thanks for the suggestion Neil - I know exactly what you mean, but the range of template designs available is a bit limited and with so many menu items I went for the vertical menu layout rather than horizontally along the top. Unfortunately this means that the area above the menu must be left blank, but at least the 'header' photo is then kept in line with the slide show photos appearing beneath it and doesn't throw the home page out of balance.

Cheers John - much appreciated, and thanks for the website comment on the Kingfisher photo too

Many thanks Gill - glad you like the 'Abstract' section idea. I've got to do something with all the blurred images I get
