travel photographer - feedback on new site?
Hi,
Just switchted to a newly designed website - both the looks and feels of my old website have been finetuned. Curious to find out what visitors think, especially about: A the navigation; B the colors of the images; C anything special you might notice. Tnx in advance thijsatthijsheslenfelddotcom www.thijsheslenfeld.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mijn Postvak In wordt beschermd door SPAMfighter 4136 spam-mails zijn er tot op heden geblokkeerd.

A the navigation; B the colors of the images; C anything special you might notice. The pages load fast, which I consider a principle rule. The navigation between galleries is obvious, but the picture selection is just a little less obvious. The rectangle is not obviously an indicator, and the photo that pops up on the main page of, say, "still" isn't the first image in the thumbnails. Clicking on an arrow is fairly obvious, but there's no clear indication of where in the line of thumbs I am, and although the rectangle tells me, I don't look at it, since I don't know what it's for. Hence, I don't know when I've looked at the large copies of all the thumbnails. Return visitors will figure it out, I'm sure, but it's better to have first-time visitors understand how to see all the images so that they become return visitors. Overall, a good site. -- Phil Stripling | email to the replyto address is presumed The Civilized Explorer | spam and read later. email from this URL http://www.cieux.com/ | http://www.civex.com/ is read daily. |

Hi Thijs,
You have a great site with first rate pictures. I am very envious of the locations you have been to. You have certainly covered most of the world and had the right weather for the location. I thought that the main picture displayed was a bit on the small side and the gap between the menu bar and the picture was too big. Have you kept the picture small to minimise people copying it? My monitor is run at 1280 x 1024 which may influence my impression. Great site Cheers, Allan Just switchted to a newly designed website - both the looks and feels of my old website have been finetuned.

officeatoostwestthijsbestdotnl wrote: [snip] A the navigation; B the colors of the images; C anything special you might notice. www.thijsheslenfeld.com I like it. Used IE7 on WinXP Pro SP2. The use of the mouse-wheel to scroll through your vertical thumbnails seems to be broken. Some mods with JS, ActiveX or PHP I guess. For the horizontal navbar, "Home" starts with a capitalised letter but the other items start with a lowercase letter. I think that "home" might look better. I'm not sure that I like the dashed border on the "selected" thumbnail. How about a big think white/yellow/grey border? Not sure on the colour. All about experimentation! Would it help if your main photos were bigger? Although I can understand the concern of fitting them into a small browser window. Hope that helps. Great photos BTW!

Tnx in advance thijsatthijsheslenfelddotcom www.thijsheslenfeld.com I think you have some really good images in the collection, but what is with the 'x-mas'. You've brought out my soap box now, do write it out in full; it is not that you are short of space for the caption. 'x' should really be a shortened 'trans' anyway and even the Americans don't attempt to hyphenate it. |

Suddenly, without warning, Allan Sheppard exclaimed (10-Feb-07 4:53 AM):

I run my monitor at 1600x1200, and the thumbnails are so small I can't make out what many of them are. Otherwise, nice site, nice pics. jmc |
