The problem (I think, as one who has dabbled in the shallowest of waters around the periphery of the margin of the edge of web design) is that a fixed height has been set for the title, and it needs a smaller font, not a larger one.

In Firefox the checkout button still cover some text - something to do with Subtense.

The slide show is OK because it's only the introduction.

I don't mind the scrolling thumbnails, and those pages look stylish.

Viewing the individual images: The blue triangle buttons for prev/next image are far too small and too low on the page. The left/right cursor keys do the same job, but not everyone will realise this.

Larger images would be preferable, though I suppose the size is restricted for anti-theft reasons?

All the pages are a bit too long for viewing on a 1280x800 laptop display via Internet Explorer without scrolling down. It would help if there was less space under the titles.

The photos are attractive and deserve to sell. Best of luck with that.

Oh dear. It's worse. The title has almost disappeared.

George,

Which version of Opera are you using ? I've just downloaded the latest one and evrything is pretty much o.k - on the homepage the last 2 menu items (links/checkout) have dropped underneath the rest, the title is right in the frame

thanks

Whoops.

I think I was looking at the cached version. Sorry. It's now much better (except for the scrolling menu!).

However, "Powered by Clikpic" is still partially obscured.

Thanks for that...I've managed to modify both the next/previous buttons and moved the close icon to a more obvious place

Thanks again everyone for the help...I've now finished the main "tweaks" & would appreciate your thoughts on the finished product..

I've lightened the initially quite dark grey background..I know grey looks a little boring but I find it doesn't distract much from the images, which obviously is the main idea of a photography site
