You don't know me, but I figured I'd chip in my two cents anyway.
1) Site works wonderfully with tabbed browsing, which is a nice change (not many like this do.) Although it does leave me with a "to return to ..." message, and if I press the X in the corner I lose everything. You may want specify: "if this opened in a new window" or delete it entirely--most people should figure out what's going on without the message.
2) Background doesn't look bad but doesn't seem to be "pale lilac" easier--it's kind of gray. Not ugly by any means, though.
3) Put border=0 on the images and change the link color. The default blue is really, really ugly as a general rule, and doesn't work on lilac in particular. Chose something that fits the page better.
4) Navigation is clear and simple. Thumbnails are small and load fast. Contact info on every page. Adequate but not wordy text. Full view images are very sharp. All of these are good things. All in all, this looks pretty decent to me.
I'm using Mozilla Firefox on a PC running WinXP Pro. I'm heavily involved in photography, image editing/graphic work, and website design. I hope something here was useful to you.
1) The thing is - the site is going to be viewed by a lot of people who have more money than sense. I'm afraid if I don't tell them how to get back to the gallery, they won't be able to figure it out.
2) Interesting. I may check into that a bit more.
3) See, I thought border=0 was the code. But I swear, the first time I tried it it didn't work at all. Maybe IE was just having a weird day. How do I change the link color?
4) Thanks! I'm definitely of the less-is-more school of web design. (and most things, unless you're talking shoes. In which case, more is definitely more. ;)
