Requesting Website assistance and critique

[canoli]

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 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
