Redesigning my website, how does it look?

I just went there, and this is all I got:

Sorry, my FTP is a bit slow. Hopefully will be back up in 10 minutes.

Much better in size, Really Good.

But one more opinion on the left where you have "Welcome to Menzel Photography", Could you maybe put one of your best photos, doesnt have to be a link behind it, but just a great pic with a watermark on it that says Menzel Photography.

Thanks for the advice, not sure what to place on the left. But that's a great idea (might have to steal it).

OK, I’ve done it. I stole DzRbenson idea and it looks pretty good to me. Please let me know what you think.

Nice site!

On this page though:

http://www.menzelphotography.com/New...eland_pg1.html

I would suggest a different colour for the menu text (ie. Home, Galleries, About Us etc...) as the grey is washed out severely by the yellow background.

Actually, it looks like you use the same colour scheme on other pages as well. Might want to check all pages for this issue.

Also, on the same page you've spelt New Zealand incorrectly.

Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback, I am currently working on changing the old pages as mentioned to the new look black / grey layout. hopefully will have these done over the next couple of weeks.

Hi Menz, just checked the front page it looks so much better, Love the setup with the big image then the smaller to the right side.

Let me know if you need anything else

Looks good My only complaint would be the logo at the top. The bike is...sticking out I guess. It just doesn't work for me, perhaps feather those edges a bit and make it a tad more subtle?

Yeah sorry mate this website doesnt work for me.. I think its too "big", I prefer smaller fonts, smaller logo's smaller gallery pictures. I tend to think that less is more. There is too much happening on your main index page. There is alot to be said about using white space, or in your case here black space. Also your menus on your Gallery page are not consistent with those on your other pages..
