Please give me feedback on my Design & Photography website!

nice blog, simple and neat. I see that you have a lot of content on the blog, which is great 🙂 and the domain is cool too,

just a suggestion, when you use an image, try to resize the image before uploading. If a large image is resized on a browser the loading time will increase a lot.

apart from that, perhaps you can add something more on the sidebar, it looks a bit too empty, there is nothing much apart from the categories, i like it simple but adding a few social media buttons in there might help and make it look good 🙂

Something about ad blocks that have the words “The people that sponsor us” is a bit misleading to me. You’re assuming that the people reading your blog are clicking on the advertising (which is what is paying you, not the mere fact that you are showing their ad). So really, they’d be more of a potential sponsor of x% of your total costs instead of actually sponsoring you.

Tangent, I know. Just something about people always wording their contextualized advertising blocks like that just always eats at something in the back of my brain.

While the site is very clean and well laid out, it’s almost too simple. It almost screams landing page domain coming soon template to me.

Posting in multiple categories for each post as well? Why not just accomplish basically the same thing with tags. When you post a single post in multiple categories, you’re not doing anybody any good. Sure, the categories Inspiring and Design may have 50 posts, but how many of those posts are unique and not just the same post, just listed twice? Or three times?

Replacing your native search functioning with a “custom” Google search also reinforces the earlier notion of “coming soon domain”. Why must the things I search for on your site show up on a completely different theme and website? That’s like saying “We have the information here, but in order to find it, you’ll need to go somewhere else.”

On the about page, the follow sentence struck me as weird: “Well, there are a few things you need to ask yourself, first.” The inflection on “yourself”. “There are a few things you need to ask… YOURSELF”. Also, your sidebar to content ratio on the pages is a little imbalanced. 10% of the screen devoted to content while the rest is devoted to the sidebar. Drop-down categories would fix that, but conditional sidebars would be nicer. Also, the link and title say “about” but you refer to it as the “about us” page. Continuity issue in my eyes, but really, this is a pretty minor detail.

I like the “wp-pagenavi” thing you got going.

You should know that your “KissInsights” is blocking the footer links (at least in FF 3.6)

Also, think about resizing your sidebar by 30%. and adding post links to your excerpt thumbs.

Other than that, I think your blog has a very clean and sophisticated look. ie the thumbs and excerpts are all the same size.

Think it’s a clean and fresh blog. What you could do is have an area in the right column where you summarize in 2-3 sentences what sort of posts you make apart from being a design and photography blog. From reading a few of your posts it would also fit in being a cultural magazine. Anyway good luck with your blog.
