Any chance you guys could do me a favour and take a look at my gallery that I've been setting up for my website. I'm looking to go semi-pro and so I'm trying to sort out something that looks simple but professional.

As a side note this is intended to be embeded in a frame so the site navigation menu will apear at the top of every page.

What do you guys think?
 
Looks nice :) All loads smoothly, thumnails are nice and fast and dont look badly compressed or anything and arent too small. :thumbs:
 
Gallery works fine, simple to use and speed of photo display is good too which is crucial to stop people getting impatient waiting for pics to display. :thumbs:
 
Yup works for me, clean, simple to use and fast loading.

Agree with Marky_h, don't use frames, use CSS <DIV> instead. Easier to control and more search engine friendly.
 
I'd say the one thing that jumps out is the way the window changes size for portrait and landscapes. Personally I would make the portraits the same height as the landscapes so you don't have the animation of the window changing shape between them. But then I'm one for things being as simple and quick as possible.

Should look nice when its all put together though :)
 
Looks good - although there seems a reasonable amount of quality degradation in the images - what quality level are the images saved at?

Have to agree with the above posters re: frames - CSS would be the right way to do it.
 
Don't use Times New Roman.
 
First thing I'd say is lose the blue borders. It's not eye friendly.
As said, use Arial, not Times. If possible, put landscapes together and protraits together.
And if you can, have the same amount of photos in the rows.

Could you explain please as I don't see a blue border anywhere?
Click to expand...

In Firefox each image has a white border, but in IE7 this turns blue.

One way round this is to use the border="0" tag on each image and assign a class to each image which contains the border colour you want.
 
Looks like others have already replied for me, but .... nothing screams "I don't know how to design a website" like using Times New Roman.

Times New Roman is the sort of thing I used to put into my website 15 years ago ... and it was almost as bad then! :D
 
Yes but other than "not being the norm" and fround upon is there any specific reasoning behind not using it?

I didn't specifically pick that font BTW It was in the original template I have used as a basis. In fact I have to figure out where it is set yet :D
 
Very nice, my only complaint is that times new roman IMO never looks good on websites.
