New website: Feedback and suggestions welcome

[retrogamer1990]

Hello all,

Just fixed myself up a nice website. Let me know what you think!

It's not 100% fleshed out with content just yet, so there aren't that many photos to look through as there will be in the future but the layout is all there. And yes, it's supposed to be minimalist.

I like the minimalist look however my first thought when i clicked into one of the categories was there are the navigation buttons. They seem very small and up in the top right corner I didn't spot them straight away.

The text on the about page and the contact page don't match in font or sizing and could be improved.

Good but could do with being improved slightly.

Thanks for the feedback, I can sort the text easily but not so much the navigation, I was a bit concerned about that too

Nothing wrong with minimalist. With so little to look at, viewers are sure to find what they need to move things along. The breadcrumbs in the bottom corners are annoying and do nothing.

A bit thin on content, but I guess you are just starting getting the site up and running.

The 'about me' text is very personalised. With so much personality, it could alienate some viewers. Swearing is another thing that is not necessary as is the use of colloquialisms (maungy). It would be far better to state why you enjoy your photography than spend the opportunity telling people what you don't like. Keep it positive.

I wanted to scroll on the about text because there looked like there was more as text went to very last line on page.

It feels too minimalist to me and does not feel professional.

Very slow to load on the work categories and Landscape wouldn't load at all although you get a brief glimpse of something when the back button is pressed
