Hi,

I've just finished designing my own personal web site. I have designed site for other clients, but I'd like to know what you think of this one.

great looking site.. navigates very well... the only comments I have are that I feel you need a lot more informational text on each of your pages..
on one page, you mentioned 3 different hosting packages, but I didn't see them detailed.
I don't think that the wedding photo on your home page is the right photo.. I'm sure you have other photos that would be more appropriate and..
you should have some physical address, phone number, etc listed on the site.. rather than have the contact me open into email... people like to know who they are dealing with, so you should also list your name...

I think your site is very nice in general but I agree with Mary Ann about your lack of contact information.

It's hard enough to get a website visitor to the point of wanting to inquire further about your products/services to lose them for lack of available action.

I was on the logo page when it hit me. I really love the examples of your previous work and went to the next step, "how do I get more information?". That is a valuable position for me to be in from your perspective, however, I had no idea where to go from there. You had me hooked, all you needed was to pull me in. So what I really needed was the answer to "now what do I do?" to be right there on the page.

That may be more than you needed but I wanted you to see it through the eyes of a potential client so I put myself in those shoes. :)

Best of luck to you! Your talent is incredible.

Thanks for all your kind comments. I will be updating the information on the web design pages and I will look at putting a contact information page on the site, just need to think a of a way how I can integrate it into the slide up contact box, as I quite like that.

I think the wedding photo on the front page is nice but that's down to personal taste, this section of the site will be updated on regular basis, so this front image can be rotated.

Once again thanks for your kind comments.
