    "previous work"

    This is some text, this is some text...

    Also the thumbnails aren't thumbnails but just scaled down full size pics, and so takes an age to load.

    Dan,

    What's the point of inviting people when there's nothing to see, or it's at a stage when it's not ready.

    You really don't want to go off inviting people to see your unfinished site. Gives a really bad impression and then when you are ready to show it off to people they won't be interested as they've already been to view an unfinished site.

    You should also spellcheck your content before putting in online. There's six spelling errors on your 'About' page.

    Two on your home page... and one on your contact page.

    Being honest, i just wanted to get some critique and see weather anyone could pick at it now that there have been some issues raised, i've fixed alot, including spelling corrections, plus the website generates thumbnails dynamically now so u shouldnt experience really slow loading anymore.

    As with alot of things, this is my first time building my own site, so obviously i will make a few mistakes now and then, i just hope that doesnt put you guys off visiting my site

    Re: My new website...

    Let's give it another look then...

    Home Page - 3 spelling mistakes

    About - It sounds more like a CV or Job Application letter You need to make it a bit more... well... less formal.

    Gallery - You're still using images that are way too big. 1024x683px and +300k.

    People with slow connections really aren't going to wait around for your pictures to load. Plus for the bigger versions you're making people go to new windows. I had to turn 'pop ups' on for your site

    Sorry if all this sounds harsh, but it's what I do for a living.
