Looking for feedback on redesigned website

[scootermcq]

Hey Gang:

I found some Jquery code on the net and changed up my website to give it (I hope) a better appearance. Nothing major, cause I am not a website developer and in fact never worked with html until I started building my own site.

Looking for feedback on:
Layout
Ease of navigation
General appearance
Speed
Any problems (i.e. broken links, missing graphics etc)

IF anything else comes to mind, please throw it in too.

Changed up site: Captures by McQuillin - Oshawa, ON Wedding Photography

I think the site is nice and very easy to use. My only suggestion would be in the galleries perhaps have fewer shots, some people may get bored with looking after the first 10 or so and some of your best shots are further down the line. I would probably say use no more than 15 of your best shots. Maybe have a separate galleria somewhere that you can direct people to if they wish to see more.

In spite of the warning the page did load to this, and allowed me to look at the photos

Hey Vince, can you try again? I changed the Doctype and think I might have solved my problem.

Thanks,

The site doesn't look notably different to me from the last time I was there.....
No errors for me.

Scott, I'm going to be "harsh" and I'm going to agree w/ Ambrosia about reducing the numbers of pics....but not for the same reason. IMO some of the pictures NEED removed, they just are not examples of your best work. Just because you were happy with them at the time, and the customer was happy, does not mean it should be in your gallery/portfolio forever. Something like the 15 absolute best pics. And when you get a better example replace a lesser one.

I'll give you a couple examples, and all just my opinion....some I didn't get...why's the bride in a taxi? Why's the bride running off with a sailor?
Some are redundant to the point of boring. How many pictures of the couple standing together do I need to see? You have some very good ones and you have some "eh" ones....
Some aren't that technically great. Was the cake really that hard/ plastic?

Fewer/better pics leaving the potential customer impressed and wanting more..... Don't include it on your site if it's not a picture that would make YOU go "nice, wow, cool," or similar, if you were to view it on MY site as examples of my work.
