Readymade Clikpic CMS template with minor tweaks.Please C&C

larios · 12-11-2007, 01:21 PM

Ι have setup my simple website to promote my photography work with the Clikpic CMS system. To add some features I also introduced some minor additions through html coding.

My website is Yannis Larios Photography.

I would appreciate your thoughts on design, ease of browsing, speed, additions that you would put etc.

Bear in mind that I have limited options due to the CMS system, and also due to my rather poor html coding abilities.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to NamePros, Larios!

You have some outstanding photographs on your site. Unfortunately, your site does yet do them justice. For one, it loads EXTREMELY slow, which is a major factor in todays web world. You have to deliver quickly to retain the viewers interest.
There's a white bar on the bottom of your site that impacts the overall appearance and destroys an otherwise solid look. It might be my resolution, though. (1920x1200)
Also, if possible - center your site and try to find out whether there's an option to stop the slideshow. This would come especially handy when someone wants to take a closer and longer look at one of your photos. Furthermore, it would be great if there's a way to zoom/enlarge photos of my choice to get a better visual.
To be honest, your images are truly mesmerizing, the loading time of your site is quickly killing the desire to get to the next image, though.

PS: Kudo, you have spectacular images from my home town, Vienna, Austria!
