comments: you have a problem

well 2 really,

are you hosted on 123? you are sitting your domain on this IP address 81.21.76.62 which is 123, or is it redirected elsewhere? could be Webfusion Internet Solutions

the result of clicking your link gave me

1, a time out,

then the fail page like:::::::::::

The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
:::::::::::::::::

pushing it further I got:

http://81.21.76.62/jonmcgovern.co.uk/index.html

so you are on 123, is it direct or via a reseller?

1a, who manages your web server? talk to them

3, on nominet you are listed as NON trading, you need to change it they get mumpy about that, IF you are trading (looks like a trading site yep?)


sorry about being the bringer of work,

Perfect here.

Nice one!

Just tried it on Safari and it won't load..........."unexpectedly dropped the connection,the server maybe busy, try again later."

Had a go on Firefox...still won't load.

Very strange!..My internet connection is running at around 7mbps, so that's ok, but I'm still getting the same results as pabloisme on both Safari and Firefox.

Quote: Clean and fast. To the point. I was unsure about the narrow layout with vertical scrolling but it looks like it will work reasonably well on smart phones so gives wider coverage and appeal.

good point.

I think 95% of Brides will hate it...

Best thing I ever did was to ask 10 females to read every page and give me a critique. I then re wrote it with my daughters help to appeal to a female audience.

For instance, this is the first time I've ever read the phrase "pre-raphaelites" on a weddings website. You have to make it appeal to the reader, not just be about you. Pricing is also important, so make that clearer, give some examples, same with print prices.

Immediately loading for me (Firefox).

I'm not sure your front page photo shouts "artist" as you purport to be in your blurb (which I found to be a bit precious and not quite as welcoming as I'd like if I were looking to hire someone). I think it looks as if anyone with a cameraphone could have taken it.

I would imagine that most of your customers would not be particularly interested in photography per se, but just want to see the quality of your work. I find your bio rather indulgent and perhaps the info regarding your awards, runner up prizes, shortlist placements, etc. be on a back page. It's not particularly interesting reading if you're looking to book someone for a wedding. The image is everything.

Perhaps a gap between the photographs in the stacks might make it look less messy. I like your images very much (especially the bride at the refreshment stand) but feel they need to be given space rather that all run together.

I'm only making these comments from the viewpoint of a buyer and not as a crit on your p/f or you personally.
