Like it put when going from the home page to the other pages because its a different layout I thought i had gone to another site found my self looking up at the url to make sure it was the same. Very nice design. Fast loading galleries too.

Hello -

I am going to give you my reactions as I visit the home page, then go throughout the site:

A redirect message came up when first going to your site -- I wondered why
At the first page, it is a bit confusing, with a large square graphic at top, then a table of links, then 3 lines of visitor stats, then a little square ad, then Google ads. All of those items at the bottom jump out more (more contrast) to the eye than the large graphic at top.
The large graphic at top had control buttons on them, and I was surprised that they did nothing when clicked.
Once I clicked the link to enter website, I liked the layout much better, and would have preferred to come to that page first.
I like the scrolling links at right, but there are some typos.
On that first page there are no graphics? Your business is about graphics, so you need to add some to that "home" page.
The portfolio pages are set up simple and easy to use. That's good.

In general, I would either rework the first page, or discard it all together and concentrate on your main site.

Heya,

Please bear in mind that I'm writing this as I go through your site.

I hate splash/intro/"enter" pages. I see them as completely unessesary wastes of my time. But I actually like yours. I didn't mind it and found it quite interesting. Mainly because It's artistic. However, as OSmaster pointed out, I also think it needs to be reworked...

I can see why you put that page in, but then I think you killed it a bit with all the stuff underneath. I think you should literally have your random arty image, and the "Enter Website" (also I'd add a copyright

). Then you need to consider repositioning stuff. Here's what I'd do (doesn't mean it's the right thing to do of course

):

Put margins on the page (topmargin="10" etc in the body tag).
Perhaps move your two bits of content to the centre of the page... and see how it looks (might be better where it is... but it's always something to try).
You know the orange that you get when you rollover "Enter Website"? Take that orange... now put a 1px border around your image, and make it that colour. I'm guessing that would look quite good but I am only guessing! Try a white as well... maybe you could have it change on rollover?

I love the main site. Think if you sort our your introduction then you'll be good. I haven't got much time to pick holes in the main site but it generally looks pretty good quality... may return and have a better look later.

Anyway... I'll go away as this is too long as it is. Your design and photography looks really good and I hope your site goes well!

Edit: Just to clarify I do think you should keep the intro page as it adds an artistic touch... but it definately needs rethinking in terms of content.

All the black turned me off to begin with. I would work on a different color if I were you.

you should get rid of your Enter Site page. people shouldn't have to click to enter a site unless its a porn site and you have to verify your age lol... which doesn't stop anyone.

also i know your probably trying to decrease your page load time but your header buttons look a little grainy you should increase there quality a bit or save them in a different format like gif where you can select certain colors.
