Ok, here comes the honesty train.

CHOO CHOO!!!

All aboard!!

#1. That flickering pattern before each photo comes up... AAAHHH -- NOY-NOY-NOY--ING!

#2. A lot of your galleries have "coming soon!" Which reeks of nothing but, "I haven't finished building my site yet." or "I'm too lazy to go shoot this topic".

#3. $6... really? The rest are $3-4 each? for unlimited use of each digital photo with no contract for usage?!? Are you kidding me?

Plus the sizes of a few of your photos are below 2000 px at the widest part... that's a bit...err... small, eh?

#4. (and here comes the big one) The content of your gallery is pretty slim. The best photo you have (this one HERE ) is not clickable. I.E. Broken link/non-link. None of your images would make me shell out $4-6 per image.

You may be cheap, but I think it's too cheap for starters. You are missing a contract portion of your sales.

My $.18

I thought I was having a seizure.

It would look better if you chose one stand out image for the home page and leave it at that. This will draw visitors in and prompt them to look at the rest of the images in the galleries.

OUCH

Well, I did ask, didn't I? With reviews like that, I'm just glad I'm not planning on quitting my day job any time soon.

Websites can be a very tough thing to get right. Unfortunately there are just so many factors that getting one right means it'll make others a bit more glaring.
