I made new layout for my site. I made changes by advices of other forum members which reviewed my site before.

So here I proudly present my new looking site:

fast loading so you've overcome the first and most important hurdle of any photo site.

I wouldn't agree with that - the big versions of your images actually took quite a while to load up properly for me. But other than that, good looking site - nice design, good navigation.

Nice, clean and simple. It's very professional-looking and I like the whole design. Good photos too!

Your site does look very professional and I like the menu. It is very quick to load and is XHTML and CSS valid, many sites I have seen usually get one or the other. I like the layout of the photo gallery too. Very nice site.

Yes, thanx for compliments. I like to have tidy site, cause there can be problems from browser to browser. I will try to kick some boost into graphichs details, but try not to fuss everything up

I like the site. I think the design is very professional...very cool. I don't know if you used any script to do this site up....but for one thing...it really looks nice.And yes, the website loads very fast, as mentioned by one of the previous posters. Now...the main part of your site....the pictures. I like them very much. Most of them are very artistic and well taken. Are you a professional photographer? Anyway...the whole thing looks very cool.I especially like the photo 'Path' from your gallery. Did you really take that yourself? Very nicely taken...!-Shackman

Really good site. I like a lot the right sidebar and the whole design. Maybe be you can supress the underlying in the links of the left side menu.

Shackman, thanx. I am still learning PHP so I got script for guestbook and mail, but in XHTML and CSS I am quite good , everything else is my work.Mizako, how do you mean supress? I don't understand what did you mean by that :rolleyes:Thanx, best regards.

Thought I'd drop by to say I'm extremly impressed with the layout, design and content of your site. You're wonderful with the CSS and XHTML. Although I'm sure you're tired of hearing it - I'll say it again, your photographs are wonderful. I especially liked Lines and Candle, but all of them are very nice.

 

The only tiny nit - not really a nit, more like an off-hand thought - I might have is the favicon. I wish it was 'more blue' to match with the rest of the site. But you're the design expert, and I'm sure you know what you're doing, so you can ignore this

 

I think by a supressed menu, mizako meant having a 'collapsible' menu. I'm not sure if it's possible, although I've seen javascripts doing it quite well... it's usually useful when you want to conserve space, but with the sort of layout you have, I am not sure if it is necessary at all.

 

Cheers, and keep us posted on new developments. It would be absolutely wonderful if you could create a mailing list and inform users when new photos are uploaded and other information - provided you have the time, of course.

Mama Soap, thanx, yes favicon, your idea is quite good. I never thought of that actually and I am no website wizard , I am just a guy who is chilling out with XHTML and CSS, hehe.Nah, I like to hear people that they liked my picture, it is better then not tho I have done a Javascript menu for one website before, but I think it is not wise idea cause some people ignore Javascript, so I am not doing any navigation in that language.About inform mailing list, I like that idea too, I will try to do it someday, thanx for those wonderful guidelines +1pts from me actually.Chears.

Hello again :DAnyone who can make a site like that is a wizard as far as I am concerned I'm glad if any of that helped. I'll look forward to any updates that you might have, and whenever they come. I also prefer to keep JS and DHTML to a minimum, and perhaps use it, if at all, in such a way that it degrads gracefully for incompatible browsers. Anyway, good luck on the site in general, and thanks for taking time on my site and the rep point as well (I'm trying to figure out how the system works here, haven't quite looked around at rep thing). Best of luck, and if you don't mind, maybe I can put a link to your site on mine? Provided, of course, that you don't have a problem with that.Cheers!
