Just wanted to let you all know my new website, designed by Jack and Jesse of WideRange Galleries, is up. It's pretty much all done but there's a few things I'll be updating and adding to over the next few weeks.

Take a look! http://artinnaturephotography.com/

and if you find any typos, let me know and I'll fix 'em :smile:

Floris,

You've got your blog listed in the text on the front page but there isn't a link in the nav in the top right. Otherwise it looks very nice. There are some truly spectacular images in there.

Thanks Drew, there's a blog link at the bottom of the page.

Very nicely done. The only thing I notice -- and I did not go looking for nits to report -- is that the top line of the menus on the RHS of some pages is partly cut off. I don't think it's just a quirk of my browser. Check out the "services" and "about Floris" pages and see if you notice it as well.

Thanks Phil.. I can't seem to find what you're referring to - is it the text that's being cut off? What OS/browser are you using? It looks fine on my mac in firefox and safari, as well as on ubuntu with firefox.

I'm using IE 6 here at wprk (don't ask why they haven't upgraded us yet!) and the main image pages in the galleries do not display correctly. You have the image with a left arrow to the left, but the right arrow and the picture title etc are still to the right of the page but bellow the image, so you have to scroll down. More than likely just an IE6 issue as it's so old!!!

Great shots though :toast:

EDIT: Also, I'm not a fan of the white borders that are cut off at the corners, but again that might be IE6 not diplaying correctly!

Hmm. I'm on my work computer, which uses Windows XP and Internet Explorer 7. I'll check again in a few hours from my home computer, which uses Vista and probably a more recent version of Explorer.

The site looks very nice Floris and of course the images are spectacular!

The site has wonderful images, but unless they are in a gallery you cannot hit the purchase a print to find out the price. I saw a picture, was interested in the price, but could not find how to do it. On the right side it gave me an option of "Print" but in that explanation did not tell me I had to go to the gallery section, find the image there, and then hit "purchase a print." That option should be under all images, even the ones in the intoduction and slide show.

Thanks Patricia, yes, unless an image is in a gallery, the print purchase option is not there. But, if you just click on the image in the slideshow, it will take you right there :wink: (it's not exactly feasible, and it would be distracting IMO, to have such an option on the homepage)

I do plan on adding a pricing table in the print info section, but have not yet gotten around to doing that, perhaps that will help. Thanks again!
