Early days, it still needs some work and a few more sample videos (which i hope to do in the next week or two).
Feedback appreciated....

It's really nice, I think that the footer should be a similar colour to one of the ones used in your navigation, and maybe add a hover effect to the navigation.
Good use of meta tags, but if you can move away from using tables then do so. If you don't know how to use DIV's and CSS give me a shout and i'll create a stylesheet and template as a freebie then you can add your content.

Thanks, i'll fix those meta thingys later.
As for the tables thing - i've been told off for that before (normally by Geek Girl), and i know its not the right way of doing things any more - trouble is the learning curve is too steep and its going to take me too long to be able to whack a website together while learning the new way...
At the moment i'm using frontpage 2000 with include page options for common items.

That last sentence made me cringe!!
Anyway .. It's understood, you're a photographer and not a web developer.

I always feel that the use of black needs to be looked at carefully...
Photography/Video websites are one of the few sectors whereby the use of black is excepted and will not put off a potential client or customer, as it can really enhance the product.
This is always such a huge area of debate and one that will always cause a divide.
However for me its the green footer that puts me off!

Hi Michael -
I like the simplicity of the Home page but you need to explain (very briefly) the advantages of video. You've got one in the main strapline, which is too clumsy - video isn't a 'way'. Perhaps you could say say 'Video is the future of online commuunciations' or something like that and then have three simple bullet points that say why people should use videos rather than text.
Hope this helps

Hi Mike,
I like the simplicity and colours, although tend to agree with Kasumi about the green banner. Would also use the same font on both post-its.
But most importantly......if you really believe video is good for selling things (which it is!!), put some on your front page!! Show people, don't tell people

I guess I can't refuse an offer like that!!
Although it's bad enough having a photo taken.....video's got to be even worse  !!
Make the most of your trip to Abingdon - it's a great location photo-wise, inside and out.
