i think its ok, just needs work on transitioning the pics
thanks guys. pixi i like the suggestion 
as for the other things… anything text wise and what not is all client stuff. the point of the cms is to keep it outta our hands and put it into theirs, so things like that aren’t really my problems.
the slideshow doesn’t make sense because it’s not a slideshow.
style, 03 doesn’t work cause she hasn’t uploaded images.
i think that we may move the view portfolio to the upper right instead of lower right. cause of the way the eyes read the screen (soulty mentioned it I think to me b4)
in ie, extra toolbars aside from the original default ones… ie… google bar, yahoo bar… etc. it will do that with the banner links.
doctype… got ya… we are actually putting together all the meta information for SEO.
thanks for the feedback
i love the simplicity of it, nicely done menu, cool color combinations, nice fonts, everything is great!
only thing is the transitions lag a bit on my comp
Absolutely awesome! :thumb:
I really like everything in it… it’s a good thing I declined your request, because I would’ve brought it way down! (This was the site you asked me about, right?)
It’s really cool. 
Looking pimp. I love black grey and pink, so thats won me over. Impressive client side if she can maintain it all too
My transitions lag a bit too, not sure why…most other sites run fine on my lil lappy.
I think the portfolio button does need to be a bit more explicit, i missed it the first few times too.
Thanks again guys… I may have an idea of what the problem w/ the lag you all seem to have may be… I’ll talk to voets when I get a chance.
:lol: no this isn’t the site. The one I was askin you about was I need about 10 forms that were using tables to be converted into tableless forms based off the xHTML and CSS template that I had put together. I was givin a tight deadline so I was lookin for someone who would do it similtaneously while I was workin on the other parts of the site. But I ended up doin them and gettin it all done in the timeframe… was just a rush :lol:
This is a very nice site… and with good cms this will rock for the client…
great job… nothing that I think of to comment on…
Wow this came out really nice sim im loving your transitions. The colors also fit perfectly with the rest of the site and knowing that she can change pretty much anything is definitely impressive.
Great job as always,
Chris
I’m not a fan of pop up sites OR full screen sites… But it is a nice site, good job.
:lol:
Ah well… 
but have you and voets thought about adding slideshow functionality? right now, the user basically has to go through four steps for each photo they want to look at:
- hover over the large image
- find the next thumbnail
- click the thumbnail
- hover off the large image
that process gets pretty cumbersome, especially if someone wants to view all the photos. adding previous/next buttons would drastically cut down how much the user has to think and act.
Dare I suggest an autoplay button? It could just fade between images, and then if the user goes to your thumbs section then the autoplay stops and they can chose whatever image they want?
No, the reason I don’t want to put a slideshow function on it is because it would take up to much CPU to crossfade them ALL THE TIME. And quite personally I would think that it would be more annoying to the masses more so than the few that think that this method seems to be cumbersome ;). I personally don’t like going to sites that have a predetermined amount of time that I’m allowed to examine a photo, or art. Personally I can’t think of any site that I would enjoy watching a slideshow, unless it was for some sort of instructional presentation.
However, more importantly… client loves the site already got 4 other job offers based off the release of that site so… seems like it’s a success
Congrats man. Good work
i was using the term slideshow loosely. like you, i hate any site that determines how long i can look at a photo. i was more just referring to a system with previous/next buttons.
haha. i’m definitely not surprised. despite my usability tirades and nitpicking, i do like the site. so i’ll stop for now and just say nice job.
No no… don’t need to. I love feedback, it’s great for the next up and coming jobs :D. But just as you’re adament about wanting to see a possible change, I have to be just as adament about why we chose to do what we did 
:thumb2: so I wasn’t takin it in a negative way at all
nice and well polished, I’m not a fan of popups but you don’t care so thats probably irrelevant, but why not give the user a choice anyway? (I had to disable my blocker to view it)
Because the size of the site utilizes the about 755 of the 768 in height, the site doesn’t go fullscreen just for the heck of it is because all that area is being used. If it was contained in a window with all the bars, ex. status bar, file bar, google bars… etc. you’d be forced to scroll the site.
sounds like a fair enough reason
(my popup blocker is quite over-zealous btw, I set it to normal and it worked fine)
:lol: no worries I had to disable mine :lol: too
