Whitey is it a personal site or Business promoting site?

if its the latter, on initial visiting it looks like a personal gallery site. and would poss move the services to the front page as that is what the aim is.

If personal then its clean and easy on the eye.

the current way makes no sense at all - why are you putting a page of Links "in front" of details of your services ?

edit: also, you're a photographer - i'm sure you can take some better pictures of your framed prints !
 
Yeah I have those to sort out :lol:

Its a personal site, Will look at order changes now though and see if I can change it if possible to something more organized

Thanks so far guys

Just looked into changing the headings quickly but there is code somewhere to change it I suspect, will dig more into it later however, its alphabetical as default and I have no clue on changing it but will look

as the links page has no use I have removed it for now
 
I'm confused by your pricing Steve. I think I know what you mean but it's not explicit.

For 50 shots you have your standard Package at £25 then + Engine Fading Shots is £35 and + Moving shots is £35. To me that reads like you can get the standard + Engine + Moving for £35 but you then have All of the above for £40. I'd make it a bit clearer if I were you.

Also, in your 'Car Photoshoot Options' you don't really explain what the service is that you are providing, you just go straight in with the pricing. A short explaination of what it is you are offering will help identify your target market.
 
lol, look at the ones that are not rated or newest. or if fancy sitting for hours make one.

i tried and threw a strop when it didn't work lol.

In wp, unsure if its theme specific but you can give the tabs an order by number when creating these pages. if there isn't an option then its down to the templates and modify the pages.php (if i remember correctly)

Pages > Edit > Quick Edit (mouse over under each pages title) > Order

In that box you can type the number with 1 being the first, moving from left to right.

Looks nice that layout, where did you get that from? :lol:

All things now taken on board and sorted out

The arranging at the top has been sorted out and changed accordingly
Rob, I understood what you meant and have changed it accordingly, does that make more sense?
 
also added some better pics of pics now to, everything suggested, noted and done :D

what would we do without TP?
 
I've just had a play with the shop side of it, upon putting an item in my basket, and following the checkout link I tried to calculate the shipping price and it asks me to enter a postcode, but I cant see a box to type it into?
 
The whole site looks pretty cleanly designed and functional to me, except for the main 'Images by SW' heading in the top-left corner.

The type is stretched and the edges are aliased. If you can improve on the design and production of this element, I think you've got a pretty slick site.

I will see if I can disable that, postage is free on all items

I will look into that, thanks for pointing it out

Removed it completely, hows that?

I think I may need some sort of text there but unsure as to what

Also kluen, I've now fixed that issue regarding calculating postage, really appreciate you pointing that out, Thanks
 
I will give this a BUMP

Reason for doing so is new theme as I found a couple of issues on my old one, this has solved it and I prefer the look of this, added alittle more detail to everything as well as more pages and a guestbook

What do you all think of it?
 
The lack of response is probably because the site is pretty good tbh.

There are a few little niggles, the top menu could do with a "Gallery" link and the mouse overs for your gallery links on the right change the cursor to the text select cursor, rather than the click on a link cursor (Safari/OS X).
 
yeah I had noticed that niggle, it was with an update to the plugin which will be looked into I suspect (hope)
 
Some links aren't working on the home page?

e.g tried clicking on the +landscapes in the Gallery section and nothing happened?
 
they are suppose to maximise (drop down menu's)

what OS and Browser you using?

win7/IE8-tried firefox also & they don't work (or maximise)
 
Strange....

Using Win7 and IE8/FF here with no issues

anyone else having problems?
 
Blue arrows-links work fine

Red arrows-nothing-no link , no drop down menu etc

For me it looks like a personal site, rather than a business one, and I don't understand how you can value 250 photographs at £50?

Strange one, I will see if I can repeat the problem elsewhere

Personal site yes, always will be, its a hobby, I would spend 1/2 hours taking pics, processing them etc so want covering for my time, its not something I am going to give away
 
I meant you weren't charging enough. It works out 20p a photograph which is daylight robbery, no wonder photography as a career is in decline.
 
ah sorry, i took it the wrong way

If only everyone in todays world thought in the same way you did :lol:

Could it be a Javascript issue? I've just had a quick test and clicking on the [+] or title expands it, but clicking on the number doesn't, even though the cursor does not change between the two.
 
Cursor changing is alittle issue I will investigate further if possible

Still haven't been able to copy the problems above however, must be a PC issue

Nothing wrong with my PC, or browsers, or java??
 
Weird how its only happening on yours

Looking into the cursor thingy at present, sorry if anyone has noticed random changes on my site tonight
 
It does exactly the same on my laptop, and my iphone , nowt wrong with my set-up, go figure.
 
Have changed the Cursor to a pointer now to expand

Let me know if anyone else is having problems
 
It's working now

All blue now :)

Will give this alittle bump as I have added some otehr updates, small but effective IMO

the follow us part is now better
I have added a small Icon to the address bar/tab
plus other tidying in places
 
Not sure if this is by design or not, if you are on this page http://www.imagesbysw.com/products and click Mounted Framed Prints takes you to here http://www.imagesbysw.com/products-page/mounted-prints

But then if you scroll to the bottom of the first page mentioned and click Clearance Items on the following page either click Clearance or Mounted Prints either seems to go to the same page and is the same page mentioned above although different page names seems to be the same items.

Hope that makes sense

By the way what shopping cart plugin are you using?
 
Hi

The products in both things are the same, when i added them I decided to add them to both clearance and mounted prints, they should be names and priced the same in both

I am using WP Shopping Cart as a plugin
