I am pleased to announce the public launch of my new website:
http://www.stephen-weaver.com

I still have a few tweaks to do but it is essentially ready for public viewing.

I need to give a big thanks and plug to Jesse and Jack for designing and building such a great site. I should have done it a long time ago.
I highly recommend them!
Enjoy

Steve

Beautiful!!! Jesse and Jack really know how to do this. This really makes your images stand out and gives them the classy presentation they deserve. Great job all around!! I look forward to spending quite a bit of time enjoying your images! My only suggestion is that you keep the navigation bar at the top of all the pages. It took me a while to realize that it went from the top to the bottom.

Very elegant and beautiful site Steve! :toast:

I agree about the navigation bar. Needs to stay in one place.

Excellent design, Stephen. A great showcase for your superb images.

I had the same problem with finding the navigation bar.

Funny, I was just thinking about you this morning as I was rattling down Rampart Range Rd. from Woodland Park. Every time I pass by a certain spot, I think of your "Canyon Light/Rampart Range" shot that I love so much.

The site looks fantastic! But was there any doubt, when you combine your photos with Jesse's Web design? No, I didn't think so. That shot of Canada's Mount Wilson over frozen Saskatchewan River is absolutely phenomenal! I'd hate to pick a favorite out of so much strong material, but that's a worthy candidate.

Hey guys.
Thanks for the comments so far. The navigation bar needs to be on the bottom of all the main pages because if is at the top it detracts with my name-logo which is at the top of all content pages,. I am checking with ack about moving the home page bar to below the slide show images.

The site turned out great Stephen

Great idea Steve. That will probably help the apparent disorientation.

Wow. It's nice to see the website filled out ... to see a full portfolio of your photography, which is getting better and better. I enjoyed a lot of stuff I hadn't seen before. Congrats Steve.

Thanks, Steve. Like I mentioned before, I had a tough time programming this site because I kept getting distracted by all your photos! :biggrin:

Great website and excellent works Steve! I was sitting in front of the computer watching the slideshow again and again with my mouth totally open, speechless.

Nice site that showcases your work well. Being a Kansas girl into grass (don't take that the wrong way :wink: ) I really like your grassland galleries. You are the Grass King!! I also really liked your Monument Rocks shot. It rocks!!

Wow! I'm blown away by your images, and the presentation is equally impressive. Kudos to you and to Jesse and Jack. This site is an inspiration!

The only thing I see is that the very bottom of the "Previous 1 2 3 ... Next page" menu seems to be cut off -- almost like the font is a little bigger than the space allocated for it.

Very, very impressive. Now added to my favorites for frequent visitation. Great job Jesse, and Jack. The images are amazing in their post processing alone.

This is a great site. I didn't realize you had some many nice shots!

Congratulations on getting your site up and running! It looks great, but that is expected knowing Jack and Jesse coordinated the design and you supplied your great photos. :toast:
