You might experiment with some of PS Templates. or, Make your own template. A question, is this a hobby site, or a commerce site ?
If hobby, looks fine as is.
If commerce, I would refine the navigation by providing navigation on EVERY page.
Someone mentioned size and loading. Both good points. though 800×600 is probably a long lost memory by now, you would want to design for 56k [size of page] and average screen resolutions. Not everyone is using DSL for any number of reasons. I saw one ad the other day ‘Only $230.00 for the next 6 months’. Huh ? Yeah right.. Then what $500.00 for the next 6 ?
I haven’t used 800×600 since I had a C= 64. So I’d guess a web page larger than 800×600 would be the target size.
Maybe categorizing the photos into people, birds, wildlife, plants etc.. The thumbs could be a bit larger and still get the message across. I use a constant of 139×139 for thumbs myself.
size=56k meaning keep the pages small enough that it doesn’t take more than 6 seconds to load a page. People start debating hanging around at the 3 second mark.
And unless you’re selling the actual photos from the web site, there’s no reason to have any image larger than the largest screen can handle 1280×1024 is huge. And you can keep the speed of loading down by compressing the images to a max of 70%. And in most all cases this will provide enough definition to know what the original looks like.
Why post a 1 meg file if you can say the same in 60k or less ?
This also goes for the HTML page itself. Scroll bars are a fine idea, but if you aren’t careful they’re a prime problem for increasing page weight. If you need to scroll more than a fraction on a page, you should probably consider condensing the pages text size,, amount of info provided, or can this page cover two or more pages better ?
Myself I hate it if a page creates a scroll bar, but in some cases you just can’t get around it.
hello
