There is definitely something not quite right, but web design is something I know very, very little about so I can't offer up any possible suggestions to rectify the problem, all I can do is give my personal view.
I think the font, which isn't bold enough combined with the glaring white background and to much open and unused space is my main concern, to be honest it's that bright it can light up our whole lounge when viewed on my iPad.
Don't get me wrong I do like the cleaner and uncluttered pages, but maybe it's just a bit to much on the clinical side, like I said before these are only my views and that I have no understanding of web design or what goes into it, but something needs to be altered somewhere along the line.

On a plus note the text is very clear, but I can feel it's going to end up giving me a headache if I stare at it for to long.
Bring back the old site, but maybe it will grow on me, but going to have to turn the brightness down a bit.

I personally hope you will reconsider and keep posting questions. Plenty of people here want to help. But its nice if you can say a little thanks and let people know you have taken the advice and feedback how things are going. That makes poeple feel appreciated and is a good thing. If you are able to put capital letters in at the right places that's also good and can help people reading your posts.
Why not stick with it?

Look, its unfortunate that this has headed this way .. I didn't want the OP to go away. I hope he has got his k5 manual and it is useful. I for one would be most happy to try and help with any other questions, with or without capital letters. But I would remind him that its nice to acknowledge the help, and people appreciate that.
Lets not turn this into another 'Nigel & Marat' thing Because its not!

Algernon how rude, punctuation is one thing manners is another.
It's actually quite disrespectful, as well as unhelpful, when photographers offer posts to which little thought has been given to literary conventions. One of the pleasures of this forum is the generally erudite nature of the comments.
Yep Nigel, my fanciful imagination all in black & white above.

This I think is more down to being not that great with computers and a bit long in the tooth to start learning, but my hat goes off to those who can make a picture pop if you know what I mean and who can use these types of software to great effect.
But give me a darkroom with a Dichroic enlarger, a nice Leitz lens and a load of funny shaped pieces of cardboard on pieces of wire with the house to myself for the weekend and I am one happy bunny and maybe a PP freak.
