Flickr Fan Site -FlickrVille

Hi, please review my latest site flickrville.

It's basically a site where i post some of the more beautiful shots uploaded at flickr.com.

The site runs on Wordpress and a modified free theme.

It's pretty basic 1 column, but that's the way i intended it..just for photos less text content.

Thank you for your time.

Detailed Analysis

As a fan of photography, the choice of pictures you have is excellent. They are excellent quality, and there is a good range. Full marks for that. Starting from the top the page, you should get a logo/header. Even something from http://msig.info/web2.php as font would be good. Your menu links can't be easily seen. Consider to move them under the blue maintitle. With the 'Google Photo Software' and RSS feed button, it doesn't suit well with the top image. Maybe move them to down to the bottom, but don't leave them in the header picture. There's a typo on your page as well. 'Potraits' Might want to fix that up.

I feel that you should catergorise your images. Sooner or later, you will start to have a very big list of images, and sorting them would help quick navigation. Your SiteMap has the general idea, but create another link straight to catergories.

Lastly, although it is all easy to view on one page, have you considered having around 5 images per page, then splitting them up? It will make your site load faster and the best images on the front page would increase viewership on the other pages. However, that is no big deal.

And on a small note, get your site a favicon.

Good luck.

Generally I like the site. I would agree with a previous reviewer. I think you would be well served to get a better header. I think it would match the high quality of the photos you have on there.

thanks..i've changed the header and added a logo & favicon.

cheers

It's very narrow, I like it, I love the background, but the only thing about it that I don't like is the blue bar near the top
