First Web Site

Please check out my first Web Site. Also my first menu interface. It's not comparable to you guy's, but I learn as I go. Let me know what could make it better. The address is http://picturethis-photography.com Let me know what ya think.

Rather traditional, I've seen other photo sites like this, but that's okay. For now I would work on the banner more. It's rather . . . ugly. The way you have 'Photography' so close to 'This' looks crowded. Don't use such a bulky banner.

Try changing the background to white or very light gray. Also, change the menu so that the mouse does not become a hand when it hovers over the top and bottom (i.e. it's not a link).
I would make the thumbnails for the pictures smaller, and confine them so they don't go underneath the menu.

Looks very nice for a first site.

my critique:

i don't like the color-schedule...
your top banner doesn't look sharp...
I think the menu is way too big...


I don't mean to be harse, but you just should work on it more.

***Wow, this is actually the 10,000 post in the website-showcase forum. cool.***

i would make the address and phone number html text. (easier to read, better to print, easy for user to cut and paste)

i agree with the banner comments

As I always say, "You gotta start somewhere."

Not bad, how much did that company pay you to make that? heh

Not too shabby. How much did you get paid to make that? heh

Sorry for posting twice... my browser froze and I didn't think it posted.

Actually it's my wifes business and I was just trying to learn how to make a web site for her in Dreamweaver. I'm not a graphic artist or web designer. I just picked up on things in photoshop and loved it. No comparison to you guys. Thanks for the replys.
