I am in the process of building my new website. I want to keep it simple as I think simple works. I have a few galleries live which are Sharks, Macro, Wide Angle, Wrecks and Rays. I have more content to add into these galleries and I will also be adding the same images into the galleries that are not live yet which will be from where the images were taken. I would love some feedback at this stage so I can make changes should there be a need before doing to much work on the site. I want the experience to be simple for the end user. If you could spare a few minutes to have a look and give me some feedback it would be greatly appreciated.
Make menu horizontal which prevent scrolling.(you can do this by simple adding "display: inline; list-style-type: none; padding-right: 20px; " to .widget-menu-item.)
Also I would add the same style header on home page as subpages.
On the homepage i would increase the size of image in the grid and crop them all to same size.
Nice photo btw. And good look with finishing the site.
Hi Marc. That's exactly the feedback I was after. Cheers

Less is more!
I would think hard about using a really strong image on the home page, moving your biog to the inside and also putting the galleries inside except for, perhaps, a small (20-30 images) portfolio that sells your style to the browsing public.
I like Rob Bailey's gallery, but perhaps I shouldn't talk because I've never put my own images into order...
Cheers Marc and Tim.
I have started to re design the homepage and with advice from both of you, it is already looking 100% better. So glad I asked .
