(Here comes the mktg department...)
Imagine coming to your page without any knowledge of who you are....
On the front page, you have more space for words than pictures. Is this what you want?
It would be better to encourage exploration by web visitors, the text on the homepage is redundant against the 'about' page and perhaps too self-conscious. An important question is: is this website meant to drive sales? Of images, or words? Those nav links at the top are WAY too small, especially given that the rest of the page has no links at all. Lack of crosslinking is a problem throughout the site.
Again, with the 'articles' page, there is a curious lack of imagery. I thought this was a photo site? Likewise with the articles themselves.
On the 'about Les' it's not made entrely clear if you attended those masterclasses or taught them.
The entry to the 'gallery' sub-pages have pics but they're still small and smaller than the titles. The bullets are not hyperlinked, nor are the images themselves. Think about where they eye is drawn when people view a page, make that clickable....
Avoid generic link names like 'Index' - lots of pages are called 'index,' index of WHAT?
Clicking on images in a gallery shouldn't go back to the index of that image collection and then force the reader to reload the entire gallery in flash just to look at the next image. It should advance to the next image. In general the flash loading seems excessive. And when viewing an image you have to find out that clicking it goes to the gallery sub-index, because there's no actual labelled 'gallery index' button.
'Sales' should have links to the galleries, and the galleries clearer links to sales and a mention of sales at the very head of the gallery hierarchy. The info on the 'sales' page should just be errata or 'details.' It's too hard to order and confusing and there are no pictures of what to expect.
The browser-default 'Order' button looks odd and out of place considering that you have image-based buttons everywhere else and flash-based image viewing.
'Archive' of what? It's empty.
No APUG link?
Don't mean to be hard on you, Les. I think you deserve a great website is all
