I have just set up a website using clikpic (it's taken me ages as I'm not very good with computers!) and I'd really appreciate some constructive criticism: www.louisewatsonphotography.co.uk
I would eventually like to sell some pictures but am worried about putting a paypal link on my site as I haven't yet found a good printer / worked out how large I can realistically print photos from my Nikon D40.
I'd be particularly grateful for any comments on the layout of the site / ease of use / anything else I ought to add.
Many thanks
Louise

Had a look and all looks clean and simple, nothing really to distract visitors and easy to navigate. Maybe an idea to add a guestbook page so people can leave a passing message, gives others an idea how popular your site is.

I am in the same position as yourself but with Foliopic which has been a dream to set up (thanks Pete).

Looks very sleek. My only advice would be to try to keep thumbnail images on the gallery pages uniform, either all landscape or all portrait per line. My eyes prefer running over orderly laid out thumbnail pages like that.

Personal opinion, I guess not everyone is like that.

Thanks so much, that is all really helpful. I've made a few changes: made the text bigger, taken out irrelevant text etc. I found it rather difficult adding a forum page so have decided to leave it off (in part because it seems to be beyond my technical abilities, and in part because I agree with digicammad that the contact page is sufficient!). Meercat, I'm not sure how to keep the thumbnails all in a line (though I agree it looks a little messy as it is).

Thanks all for your comments!
