I thought it was time I changed my sportshotz site, since its been languishing since 2009! Hey ho. Any comments/crit you would like to make? Just so you know, the first pic on the home page is also from the original site, I wanted to keep the consistency ... If you fancy sending me a message via the contact form, I can see if its working ok.
Thanks for looking.

Looks good Carol. I like it but then you have Vigo on there so I may be biased :D
 
Looks good.

What is OS Templates - bottom right?

Also it should be

Portfolio site for Carol White-Griffiths LRPS, sports photographer in Kent and around the M25.
 
While I'm on it...

Personally I HATE having to fill in Captchas on forms. Is it really necessary?
 
On your Published page.

Second paragraph. Maybe Dartford FC Football Club should be a link to the club's web page.

Also that paragraph is way way way too long.

Fourth para - how about 'I am CRB checked' rather than 'I have a CRB check'?

Fifth para Quote 'The lighting in sports halls can be quite challenging'. I don't think this adds to the paragraph.

Galleries.

When you click on a photo it opens it in my browser and doesn't stay on the same page - I have to click back. This should surely open in the webpage so that I can navigate forwards and backwards.

Hopefully some of that makes sense & is seen as helpful and not horrible. Others may chirp in to say I'm talking b*llocks so mull over my comments & then see what they have to say.
 
Thanks for the feedback Rob, Kelly. Will look at making some changes. Its surprising you can look and look and still you need to make alterations! The image gallery should work by either navigating with the arrow images when you hover over the pic or close with the X. Wot browser are u using?

The OS templates is where i got it from, supposed to leave link in ....
I once got stung with buckets of spam from a form, so I decided to try this out.
Thanks for looking :)

Click to expand...

Doh! I just realised there was a folder I hadn't uploaded - I think its working now :bonk:
 
Yep working now :thumbs:
 
A nice looking site, but whilst I appreciate you wanting to keep the first picture on your home page from your old site, I think you really need a rethink. IMHO its one of your weaker pictures - you've got much better - and not really one I think you should be highlighting in a podition people often reserve for their very best.

I hope that doesn't sound too critical, just trying to help a bit.

Cheers Mike. I do agree actually. Will have a rethink.
