www.danfreemanphotography - version 3!

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Yep.....another site change!

http://www.danfreemanphotography.com/

Really happy with this one so far, nice and simple is my philosophy, so I hope you think it sticks to that.

I've only done the major nuts and bolts, but all the content is there (apart from two galleries). All the blog entries are there, but I have to upload some post header images, but I'll do that Thursday.

Feedback would be great! Any bugs etc....

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Thanks.

If someone could tell me if it's Steve Jobs compatible that would be great too

doesnt work on IE for me

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

How so? It just worked fine for me.

And that was the first time I've ever used IE9 too! Never again!!

 

[BenWall]

Looks very good, very simple and focuses on whats important. I like the look of that Anan theme, cheap too.

 

[Revels]

It's lovely at 27" (So yeah, Steve likes it)

Top marks for that not being Flash, too.

I do think you have too many sections of your portfolio though. I think it would be better to have them all together.

Same here, I get the black front page but nothing else. Clicking the menu bar brings me back to the front page too.

Looks great, as you said simple is best as IMO you want people to be drawn to the content (images) more than the actual website itself. The full page pictures definately compliment this well! But I don't like scrolling across through tons and tons of images. If you just have a screens width worth (say 8?) examples of for each category it might look abit less cluttered while viewing pics IMO.

Lucky c**t being able to get around the world so much!

Thanks for the CC.

I've still got two more galleries to add. If I had them all together, you would have to load loads of thumbnails and images. I quite like having them separate, partly because of convenience when browsing - but also because you can choose exactly what you want to look at.

Does it work well on a mobile Steve device?

ie8 doesn't like it,
does your site use html 5?

 

[Fletcher]

Some cracking pics.

 

[Revels]

It's beautiful on the iPad :approve:

errrrr....I wouldn't know lol. Not that good with web design stuff. Why would it work for me? (IE9)

It's beautiful on the iPad :approve:

Good I love the fact that this theme resizes the images to your native res. And I really like having the images higher res too. Much better for viewing full screen

 

[DB.]

One of the best photography sites i have seen!

 

[sbridgey]

IE9 supports html5 ie8 and lower dont that could be why other people using IE cant view your site

looks good in firefox though

 

[Quade]

I cant see it either!

 

[Nickson]

Woooah!
Sick looking site.
Opened first time in Firefox if anyone was wondering.

Give up on IE, every version is useless.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Ok, well I don't know what I can do about the IE issue, apart from wonder why you're still using it?!?

Thanks for the positive comments. I hopefully won't change this one for a while!

 

[sbridgey]

just make everyone upgrade to ie9! or firefox

 

[Revels]

Wordpress is ace. Few clicks and you can really benefit from someone elses hard work with a theme! Lol.

 

[capturedbyjames]

well jealous - site is awesome, and google chrome - checkin' in OK.

Is it a WP site?

 

[Tigger]

Black screen here with your name on it

Is that your entry for the April competition maybe? :clown:

 

[Kane.]

It's beautiful on the iPad :approve:

+1, UI is brilliant, iLike

 

[Wick]

Google Chrome is all good! Your work is fantastic Shadowness, I browsed your old site as well and I would love to take pictures like that

 

[maynard]

Dan you've got skills!

Working fine on Safari.

 

[DeeKay86]

works great on Firefox!

GORGEOUS site man!! And, as usual, EPIC pics!

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Thanks for the comments. Just got to Mallory Park with Burpspeed team, so will make a few adjustments later tonight.
Yes, Wordpress is ace! Cheap theme too!

 

[Jonny1*2]

I like the front page Dan IE fail. Looks great on safari

 

[koi]

Looks very nice but the galleries take a while to load up for me and that's with a 30mb connection.

A few errors in the about page I noticed
* I first became interested in photography in early 2–5
* new line after for the paragraph starting I hope to gain

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Thanks Koi, I wrote that section pretty quick. I'll tidy it up later.
I was worried about loading times. The trouble with larger res images is they're bigger in file size.

 

[Paul_G]

Looks great, clean and crisp.

 

[Scott™]

As above Dan I like the new lay out. A few issues with the time images take to load here too.

 

[DeeKay86]

I tried it in the Apple store today LOL on an iPad 2! Left your gallery open on 2 iPads!

Looked stunning LOL

 

[SnapMonkey]

The frames (if they still exist) aren't too clever on Safari.

I want the Monaco 172 a lot.

 

[Jon.G]

Looks great. I'm currently using lightbox on some of my work/portfolio as well.

Works spot on in Chrome on 7. Only qualm I have is that its possibly a bit daunting being 100% browser size. Just my 2pence though.

 

[Rob]

I'd personally bring the image size down a little, as IMO it's not really to have them THAT big (you'd be better off with a "click for full RES version" button somewhere. You can still appreciate they're amazing images when they're smaller.

I'm on 40mb here and it's not as quick as I'd like.

 

[StephenJ]

Just downloaded IE9 purely for your site...Well worth it!

 

[Dan1587]

Awesome pics mate!!

 

[Track'd]

I was going to buy this theme from ThemeForest, but was too slow for my liking. Once they do more fixes and speed it up, i'll be buying it too
