Needs more content, big dog.



It`s way too bare bones right now. Testimonials, about us or a faq page and more images would be nice. I know you`re not done yet but that`s what you need to get it proper looking.

Thanks for the comments, the content is the easy part, integrating 3rd-party add-ons are the hard part. One idea I had was to have a feedback/testimonial page. You know how every retailer gives you a code and want you fill out a survey? Basically the same concept just no $5000 dollar weekly gift card winner.

Oh I know EXACTLY what you mean. I spent about 10+ hours finding the right coding/script to make my gallery work with my page. Most codes and scripts I found were for web galleries that were stand alones. But the pay off in doing it well is worth it. Now I have a smooth looking gallery.

Ha I didnt put 2 and 2 together, you just changed yours though right? I could of sworn last night you had the hover over to change image. I really liked that, but iirc when I was browsing your code it was not dynamic? Actually I like yours a LOT better than min, what gallery backend are you using?

I changed my site last night, then again this morning. The index.html got screwed up and I had to fix it this morning.



I used lightbox 2 found here Lightbox 2 for the gallery.



The overall appearance is much better than before, imo.



Not sure what dynamic code is. I used Dreamweaver cs3 to create the site then added in the coding/scripts for lightbox 2 on the gallery page.

For example minishowcase, basically you make a folder in /galleries and upload images to the folder. Then the php scripts parse all the images each time its loaded
