Default Tweaked the blog - thoughts?

Audrey Spear Photography


I'm slowly moving people toward my blog and less to my website. I asked a few months ago for feedback, and have finally found time to make some changes!

Comments and critique are welcome!

I thought it was sort of interesting to see that whole landing page in greyscale. My first reaction was that I really wanted to see a splash of color somewhere on that page, but I think there's a chance that the grey could grow on me.

That whole image seems to be one big link now -- is that right? Based on what appeared to be headings, I expected that these would take me to different sections, but they didn't. They look fine, but I'd like to see them go somewhere, I guess.

I'm not sure about your war on capitalization on the pricing page...anyone else?

Also, the header image looks like a bunch of links, but is actually just an image. You may want to change the font of the words to make them not blend into the page so much, it's a bit misleading/frustrating.

Your photography looks good though.

Thank you both! So I'm thinking the header image needs some work! : ) Maybe just going with one large image would be less confusing.

I also changed the all-lower case in the pricing, thanks for pointing that out. I had copied it from my website where everything is lower case, and it worked there, but I agree that it looked odd on the blog.

I like the grey scale scheme. The only difficulty I have is the words "engagement, wedding, maternity, newborn, children, family" around the outside of you header. They look like they should be buttons for links. Maybe just make them the same font as your name?
