General Feedback

Hi everyone.

First off, I am a new member of this site. I see lots of constructive and intelligent threads here, so I thought I would join in the fun.

I am beginning that long journey towards 'web designer' status. To start, I would really appreciate some general feedback on my first site in terms of colors and front page layout. This is just a silly little personal page for sharing photos with family and friends. I linked to a screenshot instead of the active page at this time due to creaky load times and complete failure in Firefox. I dont want a formal 'menu sytem' as I find those distracting.

Thanks for any and all feedback.

It's pretty clever but it's just one big image.
You should add some text to a website...

403 Forbidden - can't see anything !

YOU might find menu systems distracting, but visitors EXPECT some kind of navigation system.

dude i caNT ACCESS ANY OF YOUR SITE, YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK THIS OUT

Thanks for the feedback.

The link takes me to a full screenshot of the images and content. Not sure why you only see the image. I may add a navigation system that is not overbearing. Dont know why the 403 error is coming up.

I will check this out.

Hi,
No please remove the big image and add some text.The site is very dull.Its not catchy.Try to add some cool colors.

People, I do believe it was meant to be a design MOCKUP - which explains the image-only display. I can't see it so ...

Yes, this is just a large image (screenshot) of the site.
It is not functional in any way.

I am trying to figure out why it is not accessible for some. I am using Opera for browsing. Could it be a browser issue?

Okay, to make a long story short, I apparently cannot link directly to an image on my web server. I need to create a temporary page that links to the image. The screenshot will take a minute to load, but it should be viewable by all now.

Sorry for the problems earlier.

there are empty black columns on the left and right side of the image.
are they part of your design? it looks weird.
the remaining part of the site looks very nice.

It said the site was not found. You may want to look into that.
