Requesting Website assistance and critique

I have had a zenfolio account for about 9 months now and have been tweaking it during that time. I finally figured out how to do some site arrangement and customize some of the functions so this week I spent more time to get it like I wanted and would like your input on the layout, ease of use, general look and appeal of the site, etc. I do have some specific questions:


1. Is the opening slideshow the right size and speed for browsing? should it be bigger, faster, slower or there at all.


2. I am having problems with the search function finding my shots even though I have spent some time developing key words for some of them. (I have sent this question to zenfolio as well)


3. Is the arrangement and titles of the galleries ok, or do you have suggestions for improvement


4. Is the general color scheme appealing or irritating (I am red/green color blind--so so what looks good to me may not look good to the masses) Be honest here, please.


Here is this site and thanks for any comments. http://rwilliamsimaging.com/


Thanks,


Bob

Hi Bob,


I just took a quick look at your site and so far from what I

Nice work Bob, I like it very much. The background color is almost exactly what I would've chosen - a neutral gray with a little "personality" - nice!


There really isn't anything not to like about the site IMO. The layout is easy to navigate; it's a Flash site without gimmicky animations so it loads quickly. You mentioned trying to work out what's going on with the Search. Once that's functional I think you should be very happy with the site, and your visitors will be too.


If I had to pick something that hits me a little "off" I'd say the font choice for the word "Imaging." Since it's the only instance of that font I think it should "make a statement" so to speak. As it is now it looks like an out of place Times font, ordinary and colorless. (sorry, I don't mean to knock you over the head making my point!)


You could color it - the orange in your headings is very nice to me, understated but "present." But I'm guessing you already tried that and didn't like it. If it were me I'd change the font entirely. A good rule of thumb is "have a good reason for using a 3rd font" on one page. I think you can still obey that rule by finding a stronger style for that one word.


All in all you've done very nice work Bob! If you didn't change a thing I'd say it's a very welcoming site. I said "if I had to pick something" and I really meant it; it's perfectly fine the way it is.


Thanks for sharing it - I need to get a site going and yours has given me inspiration to look into zenfolio.


Thanks again!

Thanks Denise---I'll work on those things and continue to work on the search parameters.

No, I have been lazy and have not developed/printed business cards, nor do I advertise---so far this has just been my own personal endeavor. even the pricing and product offerings are an undeveloped experiment for the moment. But...... on both Google and Bing I get the #2 listing if I type in "rwilliamsimaging" which I really like. Now I just have to figure out how to get my images to come up if the right key words are type into a search.


Thanks for looking and commenting,


Bob

Thanks for the look and thoughtful review Canoli. It's appreciated. Actually the word imaging is part of my logo, watermark etc. So it's actually a graphic and not just simple text. After reading your review and taking a second look at it, I think I agree with you. Let me see what I can do with it.


Thanks,


Bob

Now I really feel stupid; it seems thatI had several images and one whole gallery marked as "private" in the acces control/search parameters. Changed it to public and everything seems to work fine now. I do still need to work and expand on the key words, but at least I know what the problem is now.


Thanks again for the look Denise.


Bob

Hi Bob,


Great website and excellent photographs. You have quite the collection....I am definitely a little jealous.


As for comments, on a broad note, I was wondering if this was for personal use/for sharing with friends, or is this for professional use where you would like to sell pictures and, potentially, your photographic services? I ask becausethe inital page makes it appear as a personal website but then I saw a link where I could buy the images and "rwilliamsimaging" certainly sounds professional. If this is intended to be a store front, you might want to make that more clear on the initial page. Maybe a few opening lines guiding someone new to the site on how to use it.


A few minor comments:

• At least for me, your opening slide show was all pictures of wildlife with multiple pictures in a row of a wolf. To showcase all of your images, I would have the opening slideshow oscillate between the different types of pictures you have. Also, instead of back to back images of the same subject, I would gofrom a wolf to an elk to a landscape shot, to a hummingbird, etc.
• I am not sure I would change this, as it is minor, and you may have several good reasons for why you have it this way. But I noticed that you start with you menu bar on the side and then it switches to having the menu bar at the top.
• And this is really the engineer in me coming out, but you have each of your photograph categories at the same level (font/alignment, etc) as "Contact," "Resources," amd "guest book." Again, the engineer in me would be tempted to have the main headings of "Pictures," "Resources," "Guestbook,""Contact," and maybe "About Me" and then have each of the type of pictures as a subcategory (different font/alignment) under "Pictures." That works best if the menu bar runs along the side. It only really works along the top if you do a pull down menu.
• "Resources" goes to a PDF and not a HTML page. It works, and again, there may be great reasons that you have done it like that.

But overall, it is a very nice website. Easy to navigate, intuitive, and your color scheme helps highlight your images.


I hope that is helpful.


Brant

Hi Bob:


Your site reflects your talent and patience. Any words I write here will pale to my impression of both. Very Well Done my man.

Actually, all of the above. I started out just wanting a place to show my photo's to friends and family and the site slowly developed from there to eventually adding purchase options.

This is the hard part, I am not very good at selling myself/work and honestly, I really have no idea where to start--if you have specific comment or know of a good example, I am all ears.

---

Yes, this does bug me as well. As best as I can tell, my provider only allows the opening slide show to come from one gallery---so, I think I am going to develop a gallery just for the opening slide show; something that has a nice mix of my favorite shots.

---

This was done on purpose. I wanted to limit the amount of vertical scrolling one had to do to naviagte the site, so I simply saved a little head room by placing the menu on the side. But since you mentioned it, I may play with it some more.

This was also done on purpose. I had it like that before, but after rearranging the opening page, the 3 line menu didn't fill up enough of the space on the side of the slide show, so I just expanded the gallery listing.

The only reason I did it like that is because I haven't figured out how to load an HTML page into the zenfolio template. I know it can be done, I just haven't worked with it yet---but now that you mention it, that could be this weeks project.

Thanks, your comments are appreciated and encouraging and thank you for commenting on my site.


Thanks to all for your comments,Thay havedefinely helped me out and given me some ideas for improvement.


Bob

Very nice site and work Bob.


I could only offer a layman view of the site.


1st on the home page I came to the link that said "Large Birds". To me it sounded somewhat generic and should have said just "Birds" or been specific to the type like "waterfowl" "birds of prey" or something like that. Large Birds just sounded odd.


2nd, this is especially true of some of your landscape photos, they are not labeled or named. If I were buying a print from an artist I would want the artist to name it. A location and description might be nice to.


3rd when I first got to your site I wasn

<span class="field-item-description"]Hi Bob:


<span class="field-item-description"]If you are a humble person it is difficult to crow about one's achievements. There are a couple of ways to do it. You could go to a friend that knows you well and ask them if they could help you with this difficult task. Providing that this person knows you very well they most likely help you frame a brief autobiography, let them put into their words their impressions of you and your approach to your work. After they have done that you go over it and note what you like and don't like making changes from there. Often the two of you can come up with something you are comfortable with that is a good representation of you and your work.


<span class="field-item-description"]Another way is to hire a professional to help with this. They go through the process about the same way, they just have to get to know you a bit before they can write it.


<span class="field-item-description"]My wife and I have two business on the net and we had to do the same thing. Take a look at my bios page and read both of them, they might give you some ideas on how to look at yourself to come up with a "about Bob" section. You will find that people that like what you do will want to get to know you better to be comfortable and want to spend money with you, and that is what you want them to do.


<span class="field-item-description"]Lastly I wrote both of our bio's, I took excerpt from the many articles that had been written about me/us over my career and used that material to do the writing. I had first hired a writer and did not like what he came up with that is whey I suggest a friend because they know you fairly well. If after all of that and you still don't feel comfortable with it contact me privately and I can help you put something together. I'm busy now so it would take a bit of time but I could offer some help.

I am sure there are professionals on this website that can offer better detailed advice than I can on this topic. But, in general, it seems that you want to walk the line between having a place for friends to see your photos and still sell prints. So welcoming, comfortable but still open for business. You may already have done this, as while people are perusing your photos they are presented the option to purchase. Regarding the home page, one thought would be to add a row to your menu bartitled something like "Purchase Options." The intent would be to subtlymake the viewer aware that they can purchase the photos if they want too. The link could routethe viewer to a page that described what you sell (prints/electronic files/services), how much each costs, a description of how the transaction works (VISA/PayPal, when to expect the product, etc) and any fine printlegal language you may want to include (personal use only, not for resale, etc). But again, I suspect professional photographers could contribute far more to this.


[:D]


I just checked your website and you are updating literally as I type. It looks very nice. I like your introductory write up. As you now have it set up, I am not sure what I just wrote is applicable, but I'll let you decide.


Thanks,

Your right Brant, I have been messing with this thing all morning trying to incorporate some of the suggested changes. Like you suggested, I would prefer to simply have a link to purchasing options page, But I wasn't able to figure out how to do a custom HTML page yet. So for now, I just stuck a little blurb in the welcome message. I think this works, its just not as clean and simple as I would like it. I just wrote another email to Zenfolio regarding this, so hopefully I'll get an answer today or tomorrow.


Thanks,


Bob

Done, It's now "Birds". as I grow my collection, I will break it down to specific types. Thanks

I think I fixed this as well, albeit temporary fix until I can customize and HTML page.


Thanks again for your comments.

Bob....I noticed in the ABOUT box you misspelled Canyon de <span style="font-size: medium;"]Chelly.


Some of the suggestions I would have offered have been covered, but on the whole, I like your set up.


One question; why did you choose Zenfolio?


Good luck

This as a good catch and one that I made many times throughout the site----Thanks Bill for increasing my workload 10 fold [*-)]. I can't believe I did that so many times. Again, good catch.

Well, I started out trying to build my own webpage from scratch but someone on the forum had mentioned Zenfolio so I checked it out. I started with the 30 day free trial and it just developed from there.I really liked the ease of use, the templates, themes and number of options--and it was just all fairly easy. The more I played with it, the more I liked it and eventually I went with the premium service for the sales packages, storage, support and ability to get rid of the Zenfolio branding on my home page. They also permitted me to use my own URL (Web Address)which only costs me about $6 per year from Go-Daddy. I also really like thier customer service; each time I have sent them an email, they have responded within a couple of hours with useful solutions to my problems--even on Sunday.in fact, they sent me one this morning with how to set upa non-standard page. They also seem to be fairly responsive with customer requests and suggestions for new functionality. They update every couple of months.This is only my first year with them, but I do intend on renewing.


No, Zenfolio did not pay me for the sales pitch, I am just a fan of thier service.


One more thing, If anyone is considering Zenfolio, I am going to put a referral coupon on my page this afternoon--It will save you 5 bucks. (Gees, now Iam asalesman [+o(] )


Hope this answers your question.

HMMMM, for you, I could arrange something, but it may cost you a few [B] 's . I will let you know that the area adjacent to the Rio Grande river is closed----It seems there have been several mountain lion sitingsin the area. They have even posted restrictions for walking your pets---I thinksomeone's Fido became lunch [:O]

OK, I have applied some of the suggestions that some of you recommended. I still have to clean up my logo as well as some of the photos and key word info. The "buy" page isn't exactly as I would like it, but I think it will do for now. I also chose not to add the referral coupon to my home page because it didn't want to clutter the look; but, If any one really is considering Zenfolio your more than welcome to use my referral code which is "WBV-3DT-6TR" which will save you 5 bucks. I also tried several other templates with the menu on the top, bottom etc, but I just like the look of this the best. So, Take another look and see if it is an improvement---I am also open to other suggestions.


Thank you all for your help, It really is appreciated.


Bob

Hi Bob,


I just checked out your website after all your changes over the weekend. I really like it. Nice job.[B]


Brant

I just checked out your site again Bob and I love the changes you have made! I am very impressed!! I was wonderomg, how much do you pay a year going thru them and do they keep a percentage of your sales $?


IMO, your prices seem extremely low. For photos as beautiful as yours, I think you could make alot more off each print.

Thanks Denise--and I really appreciate all of the suggestions that you and the rest made to help me out. As far as the price--I pay $ 100 per year for thier premium service with all the bells and whistles plus 6 bucks for my domain name from Go Daddy.com. As far as the pricing on my photos go---I just started out with a straight 5% markup up from the printers (Mpix), But my wife justconvinced me to bump it up, so It is now at 20% above the cost of printing, framing and shipping. Honestly, this is a labor of love, so I don't really think much about the pricing---I would be thrilled if someone actually wanted to buyone. I am so envious (and Proud)of you right now with that great shot that you just sold [:D].


As far as the rest of my web page, I just completed some more of the recommended changes and I just discovered how to change the package theme to suit my own needs---ie fonts, colors etc. I also managed to title all of the photos and fix a few that had problems. Perhaps this week I will work on key words for each photo.


One thing I have learned----When you upload photos to these kind of sites, take the time to title, keyword, format and set parameters of each photo----because it is really a pain to do it after the fact, when you have many photos to do.


Also,You can limit the size of the print offered for each photo---so keep in mind which photos would not look good in large prints. For example, some of my photos were shot with my 400D (10 MP)body and some are a little too soft for large prints, so Now I have to go through and limit the size of print available for each photo. These are all things I should have thought about in the beginning.


Thanks again for your assistance,


Bob

Hey Bob,


I don't know if this is your final version or if you even need feedback anymore.


I like your site. I had seen it before, but I still have some doubts about it.


The recources tab...what is it for? It's nice that you share your knoledge and sites where you find all your help, but you made it a very important part of your site. It's great if it's a friend only site, but if you're willing to get your photography to the next level. I would have left the recource tab out, or implement it somewhere less important.


I would also like to add another tab..."about" - The way it is shown now, doesn't have my personal preference. If you would have put it in it's own tab and perhaps with a nice photo of you, people would get more compassiona and get to know you better. I'm reading the about part now since I'm looking technicaly at your site. However if I was just going to see your photos I wouldn't even have noticed the "about" part.


For the people that have sincere interest in you and your work it's good to have a special about and contact session where they can get this info from.


The text about all photos are for sale, could be better placed where the about section now is. Or perhaps with the about part in a specific tab.


One last thing: the photo on the frontpage seems to be click-able, but it actually isn't.


I hope I'm not messing up your ideas here, I was looking technically and looking for critique.

Jan,


Great Feedback and I concur with all of your comments--Some for different reasons, but I just didn't like all of the text on the opening page. There is some technical difficulty with implementing some free form HTML pages, But I have discovered a pseudo-workaround. I'll be making some more changes tonight and I will let you know and ask you to take a second look (If you don't) mind. As always, Thanks for the insightful feedback.

Bob, 20% mark up?...man your working cheap. But you know if someone wanted one of my pictures to hang on the wall, and they were willing to pay justthe printing cost I would be thrilled.


Also I found some of your photo's new names entertaining, good work.


One problem I encountered. I have a 30" monitor here at work. I open your site and its fine full size and everything. I click on the gallery and look at pics, click on one and look at it. Then...I did the back button on ie to back up to your home page. At that point your home page does this weird thing where it resizes itself to about 1/3 of its normal size. I tried this twice and both times it did it. Not sure whats going on there but thought I would pass it along.

Can you do sales through this site?

OK folks, After a couple of weeks and many hours in front of this @#$$%%^^&amp;^&amp;* computer, most or all of the modifications suggested by you have been applied. So take a look and tell me what you think now, Please [:D]


http://rwilliamsimaging.com/


What I did:


1. Put a "Buy" page in there to show commercial intent ( this was one of those workarounds that had to be done to make a "text page")


2.Putin an "About" Page with Photo and removed this section from the home page


3. Cleaned up a bunch of text, menus, etc.


4. Put Titles on the photos---This is tougher than it sounds--well, doing it was easy, thinking up titles was tough


5. Cleaned up the home page and matched fonts, colors etc


6. Eliminated a bunch of confusing garbage and unneccessary options.


8. Completed modified the pre-formated theme


9. Reformatted my slideshow pics to fit the slideshow frame


10, Added a frames to the photos


11. Added a few photos


12. Added key words to many photos---still a work in progress


13. Fixed the search problem


Did a bunch more stuff that I can't remember right now---Its an age thing-


So, please take another look and tell me whta you think---If you have additional suggestions for improve---I am all ears.


Thanks to all of you, I think the website looks much much better---We can call it a "team" project---Thanks


Bob

Sorry for the re-post, I doubled thumbed the first one.

Just and update for anyone interested.


While assisting me with the development of my Zenfolio web page, several of you commented on the non-intuitive purchasing functions and options. Well.....Zenfolio just released an update and they dramatically improved thepurchasing page and options.


The first thing you will noitice is that it now matches the theme of the webpage rather than some 3rd party site----Much better IMHO. I also think it is much more intuitive and understandable for potential buyers.


They also improved the marketing options----for a full list of improvements--LOOK HERE


If you want to see what it looks like from a potential buyers perspective--LOOK HERE, pic a photo and go through the buying options----of course you don't really have to buy [;)].


I know a couple of you were considering a Zenfolio account and had concerns about the "buy" options and presentation, so I thought this info would be useful.


Thanks again for all your help,


Bob

Thanks for the update, Bob! Looks like some beneficial changes were made!
