So, some may know that I have been building a brand new GarsteckPhotography.com. This is very exciting to me and I would love some feedback and input on the site. I will keep tweaking it till everything is perfect...
Now, what I expect to accomplish with this website.
First off, the intro. Its your first impression when you come to my website. If you think the picture doesnt capture you, then just wait. I have three pictures for the intro and which one that is displayed is picked randomly everytime someone enters the website, so it might not be the same one everytime.
Second part - Easy as pie navigation. I want my website to be so simple to get where you are going. In the Air Force, we called it Army Proof. So if there is something you think should be changed to make it easier to navigate without cluttering up the design then let me know.
3rd part - I want my pictures to be the focus, so i cant have all sorts of things distracting your eye when looking at pictures. So when you click on an image, the background fades away so that you are able to easily focus on the picture. When you click off to the side, the picture goes away and the background fades eases back to normal.
4th- my portfolio, the site is only as good as the pictures on the site. I dont want content overload, so no more than 12 pictures need to be displayed, in fact that may be too many. So I need help deciding which pictures should go or stay. Suggestions are great on this part.
5th, the contact form. It goes straight to my email so if you have comments or anything, let me know. Try it out, send me a message so I can work out any bugs.
Again, let me know if there is anything that can be better.
As of right now, Im already working on things to make the site better for the viewer. I am making the whole site able to be resized. Not everyone has the same size browser so you will be able to see the pics as big or small as you need it to be.
I am making the thumbnails less cluttered. I want a little more space.
Finally, some people have trouble working through some parts of the site. I would like to think that I have made it so simple that people dont know how to deal with it and overcomplicate things. Well, I will be helping with that transition.
So, the website is www.garsteckphotography.com and enjoy :)
