My website is now finished and on line thanks to my daughter. We wanted to keep it as simple as possible with emphasis on the images, not as a marketing tool. Please take a look, we welcome suggestions for improvement.

Merg-

lovely site. The look is very clean, classic, understated, and compliments the images quite nicely. My complaint is that within the portfolios, you have navigation of the images in one direction only. Also, the image sizes vary enough that your navigation links move around, and I have to move the mouse to the link for virtually every image. You might want to think about sizing your images to a standard pixel dimension on one axis, so that even if you end up with two standard sizes, we don't have to jump around to navigate.
 
I agree with TFC, a very clean and well made site. Regarding that next/previous thing, simply move the links to the top of the page instead of the bottom and have those links at fixed positions. That will make clicking through the portfolio much easier, even if the actual images are different in size.

Merg,

Wow! I agree about having a Previos Image button and have them appear in the same place. I do like being able to "walk" from the last image of a portfolio to the next one.

Most of all I like your work. Outstanding!
 
Merg, thank you for getting your website up. I have no problem with the navigation. I just wish my work was half as good as yours then I wouldn't feel so bad when I get my website up and running. You are bookmarked my friend for further inspiration and thank you again.

Absolutely love it. Beautifully clean and simple with easy navigation.
Super images, especially the abstract on cover of steps. You are preaching to the coverted here as I really like the concept of natural abstracts but you have a fantastic eye for them and what they will like look like when printed which is appears to be fully realised in the web site.
 
Not much to criticise other than what has already been said about having forward and backward links and differing image sizes. I usually try to have all images the same height so the navigation links always end up in the same place.

Great photos and overall a great site. Simple/clean/feels good.
Just a couple of tweaks to the user experience on the single image view and it just might be perfect :smile:

One of the best launches yet!
