I would love a little feedback about what you all think about the latest issue.

It looks great, David. I like scrolling through the images as you've done. As a viewer, I find that scrolling through images, whether vertically or horizontally, gives me more control over how long to view the work, as opposed to the slideshow format you used before, and the design is clean... shows off the work well. Good job. (And a big thanks of making the "previously featured" so easy to find... I got a lot of hits from it this week.)

Glad you like it. I wanted something simple and clean. I think I got it.

Thanks for letting me know.

David, I agree with Suzanne. The new design (and logo) are a vast improvement and I find navigation around the site a lot simpler. I'm just getting a grip on Indexhibit for my own site but it is a great template for photographers' sites. Congrats on the success.

Broken!

little red x instead of picutre in top left corner
can only see 2 1/2 images in issue 10
no scroll bars, can't arrow down
tested with IE6

instantly KILLS 1X

WORKS FINE in Opera 6.05

last image of issue 10 cover page disturbing, also looks photoshopped

Andy K · Jan 14, 2010

Scratch that, its working now!

David: I like the new design. It is fresh and clean. I especially like how the navigation links on the left side of the frame stay consistent from page to page; it keeps me from getting lost or having to back out 1 or more levels to go somewhere else. The only constructive criticism that I would offer is to decrease the size of vertically oriented photographs so that the entire picture is visible without scrolling.

You are doing a great job with this project.

David, I like your new site, much cleaner and shows off the work better as a result. Well done!

Looks great, easy to navigate. Excellent site.

david b · Jan 14, 2010

thanks everyone for the responses.

I have heard about some issues with IE 6. Not much I can do about that.

Looks great on the iPhone too!

Good stuff - Congrats!

Glad to see the short tracks of the world getting some love a la Jake Mendel in his recent book: Dead Link Removed

Since I have some racing fans in my gallery and a section called "Short Track" on my web site, I'll just point out for the record that my show called Short Track was in 2007. Wouldn't want anybody to think I'm copying the latest book from Powerhouse

Very well, done, David. This is the first time I have ever checked Fraction out. I love it. And I am especially of Ellen Rennard's work. Great job.

Very good concept. Clean and straightforward execution. Seems like an excellent outlet for artists and definitely a site I'll visit again. I wish you great success.

david b · Jan 14, 2010

again, thanks so much

jmal · Jan 16, 2010

The site is much improved and Ellen Rennard's feature is outstanding. Good work!

Toffle · Jan 16, 2010

I agree with the positive comments regarding navigation. It is simpler, better. What I would like to see, though is to have the text interspersed with the images. I think it would give more context to the images, though it would require more work in authoring and editing the articles.

Cheers,

Wonderful.
