Hi Robin,

 

The site looks very nice overall and you've got some beautiful work posted!  Just two comments though: doesn't the Flash format hurt your visibility on google/etc?  Also, some of the pics are a bit slow to load after clicking on the thumbnails.

Yeah, there is definitely something amiss with the coding. I suspect it lies within the Java Script module for the lightbox feature or possibly the transition. I'm seeing slow load times and images just stacking on top of each other. It's not closing the previous image when a new one is opened. The site is really nice, just a little "beta release SNAFU". Every website goes through some sort of nonsense before it's running as expected. trust me.. I've built dozens and NONE... ZERO ... worked right the first time out of the box lol.

Thanks for your comments guys..I didn't experience any of the problems you mention, I'm on windows 8.1, LayerSpace say it works best on Firefox, I've changed the template, see if that makes a difference

I checked with both Chrome and Firefox... the new skin is working perfectly!

Why the switch from Zenfolio?  It's usually better rated than Layer Space.

 

I am using Safari and it does take a good 8 seconds before anything appears on screen.  Once up, the pictures come up relatively quickly.  Nice images.

I really like your site and the images were very good. Particularly like your approach and the monochrome were awesome.

K-9..I've been with zenfolio for 2 years = and wanted a change..what I like about LayerSpace is the more professional interface i.e the same page throughout unlike Zenfolio and the like where you go from home page to gallery thumbnails then to gallery and so on and each time the page changes as does the logo heading etc: ..granted that does come at a cost but I think it's worth it, you pays your money and takes your choice!

Tony..thank you for your kind words
