How professional is my web page.

I'm a big fan of simple. I really like the design you've gone with.

My only question was about page placement. While everything fit on one screen I had to scroll a few lines to get it all there. It's like there are a few blank lines at the top for some reason...

blank lines on what page(s)?

If I am reading i_worship_the_King correctly he may mean the white space above the framing element of every page.

Seems excessive to me as well, at least as veiwed in Camino 1.5.5 on a Mac.

Nice clean site with lots of good images, otherwise.

I like the overall design of the site. I didn't spend too much time there, but here are a couple very specific comments I thought of:

- The one Music gallery uses the Smugmug layout where all the other galleries I checked out use the filmstrip layout. Make it uniform.

- For the galleries with the filmstrip layout, there is specific code that will keep the filmstrip from moving by itself. i'd add that. It drives me crazy when the filmstrip moves and I'm not asking it to. (just my opinion)

One thing I noticed are you "Something Forever" or "Jim Yeager Photography"? I think you need to pic one and use it exclusively otherwise people can and do get confused. You could always do Something Forever photography by Jim Yeager.

Im Jim Yeager Photography and my site is Somethingforever.com

is that really that confusing?

I agree, the banner is too tall for my taste. I like to see the content, not a huge banner. On my screen (in firefox) it takes up a quarter of the vertical space of every page - my suggestion would be to shrink it down substantially.

Other than that (and my personal hatred of the filmstrip buttons working in those directions) I think the site looks very clean and professional. :thumb (Nice shots, too!)

Not sure its really confusing, but not normal and makes me scratch my head and go :scratch . Just one more thing for potential customers to forget. You asked for some feedback that was what intially struck me. You can totally ignore it, no skin off my back.

Also a few pictures (the 2 children on playing on the beach in the sunset, sunset with the lighthouse, the B&G on the beach kissing) on the slideshow on the homepage, these photos have white dots in areas that should almost be totally black. Its very odd and eye catching. I found the same photo of the B&G in the wedding gallery and the dots were not showing there.

And like the other said, having to scroll kinda sucks. If you could reduce the header size I think it would significantly improve the viewers experience.

Like the photo booth idea, that should be good.

Under portfolio, you have a subcatergory called professional, then gallery called links. Not sure if you should have that public, based on what is in there.

I've only looked at your homepage

The list of actuator buttons is too numerous and the font you chose is too ordinary when contrasted against your title font, which is nice.

I would choose a cleaner, more contemporary font (maybe even one as simple as Arial) and set them inside a graphic line that extends the width of the page.

Looks good, but nav bar hangs over the edge of the frame.
Did you consider using stretchy smugmug? With all the photos squeezed together in your galleries, you have to click through more pages to see them all.

I say A- overall grade.:thumb
