Need feedback on my website
 

Fellow Legion folk. Iv'e put together a website showcasing some photography. I would really appreciate some feedback and/or critisism so I know where to begin making improvements. The site is in swedish but I think you'll understand it all the same. :)

http://www.phatz.se

i wasnt expecting anything useful behind that but actually im impressed...

cool photos and i also like the interface to click on the picture....
looks like you spent lots of time

the first three seconds i got a bit nervous and thought its gonna be some virus shit when there apper 2 different loading symbols... but i really like it!

it looks really nice - the menu is slick in particular.

Genuinely impressed and to me, a self confessed graphics whore, the whole thing smacks professional.

However, I know very little about photography nor do i know about building websites. I just know what looks good to me :)

Great site, though how it works wasn't readily apparent. Took me a second though that could be because I don't speak svenska!

If you're just showcasing, I wouldn't worry about that too much, but if you're building for business purposes, I would recommend offering an html version or ditching the "all flash" build for something that's a mix between flash and html. Search engines do alright with flash, but not as well as you'd like. It also reduces the number of problems that users have with browsers, bandwidth restrictions, flash versions, and other weird hiccups.

I usually recommend that designers offer an html/flash version of the site with a link inside that to a fully flash interface. That makes sure the user doesn't get hit with a loading screen at the start and avoids the dreaded Splash Page. (ugh) You don't get a great deal of time to impress your visitor, so anything that you can do to reduce how long it takes for you to wow them, the better.

All that said, I love the design and the photography! #2 particularly rocks!

Thanks all :) I do actually have a html offering thats beeing worked on at http://www.phatz.org

The site rocks, but you should change your phone number on the site. If they try to get a hold of you for the big contract$$$, it is nice to point them to a phone where they can actually reach you :p

kack stop stroking your ego and get down the gym!

Love that design too. (;

very nice!

VBery nice design and some really nice pictures (e.g. number 02 is really great), too bad it's flash, as I would have loved to get some of them as a background picture for my PC ;-)

Hehe thanks...!

Its sexy!

that looks real nice kack... can i steal the code for my wife's website?

very pro :) Nice mate! No critism here haha. Sorry! :)

Nice clear pics, and the menu is pretty cool.

Very nice site, nice photographs as well.

Indeed


The only negative thing is the green round loading icon every 3 or so pics. The icon doesn't really match the rest of the colours of the website etc.

Since when does a flash container keep you from ripping images ?

What kind of a web developer are you ? :P

Steal my images and I will sentence you to life in jail with AGA as cellmate... I would think twice before doing that :p

I am not a web developer, I am a software developer :-)
And ofc it wouldn't stop me, but I am too lazy to waste time just to "steal" some pictures :-)

Hey, what's wrong with having Aga as a cell pet? Be nice! :p

Site looks really sweet Kack :) And when are you going to teach me some cam phatz?

As soon as I can decide on which car to buy... then I'll come to Oslo for the day and we'll go out taking phat pics. I've narrowed it down to two candidates. The BMW Z4 3.0i and the Honda S2000. I really love the Z4 but I've always wanted a S2000 as long as i can remember.

Content, Great.
Look, Great.
Loading Icon every three pictures, meh.

Slick, Professional, and Awesome though!

nice stuff man what you shoot with?

some lovely photos on there did you take them yourself ? and how many billion megapixels is your camera :p

site looks cool too btw hehe :)

the sekkrit aint in the billion of mpixels frand :)

sweet, website

i have expected to find additional info on the photos, when hovering over the info tab and not copyright notification

are you intending to put up tags or a short text to each photo?

The website is just a way for me to showcase photos... I personally dont like when photographers show their work using tiny pictures. I want ppl to see the photos big.

I use a Canon 5D mark II (21.1mp)

Thanks all for the feedback!
