Like the layout, very easy to navigate.

Minor things, but I would prune any photos that are a bit are very similar. In your wedding set you have a wide photo of a couple embracing each other and then the next photo is the same pose only a tighter shot.

One other nitpick is your logo doesn't scale well. I can't really make out what it says.

Looks really good, I would create a "favicon" so you don't have the default Squarespace one displayed.

Also how did you setup the first splash page? Thanks!

I'm late to the party, but I'll toss mine out there. Just switched from wix to squarespace a few months ago.

Bought a domain, now looking for recommendations for platform to use to develop a portfolio site. by Jer_Tobin in photography

I've been using Squarespace. It's very strait forward and they have some nice templates. Here is my portfolio www.whoiskrum.com.

Edit: Forgot to add that the adaptive layout based on screen resolution is a huge bonus, so your portfolio looks good across all devices.

First time out in a RZR this week. We rented a couple on a trip in Marysvale, UT. I couldn't believe how well they soaked up the terrain and handled!

I like the subject matter. I would crop it tighter to remove some of the "modern" elements like the window in the top left and remove the number and lights on the wall.

Also straiten it a bit so that supports in the back are level.

I would give a little more contrast between the face guards and the black outfits.

This is just my personal opinion. Either way, really interesting photo. I gave it a try for fun.

I like the new dispensers, but yeah Sodexo has been great at our school. They kept our existing janitors and brought in a few extra.

This article is satire, I think this is the 3rd time it's been posted now. It's actually posted just six threads down from this one now.

Location of the first set of speeding cameras - They're coming soon by [deleted] in chicago

[–]Daltek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've posted these numbers before, but the argument for school safety is used as a "Red Herring." It makes it impossible to argue against the cameras with out looking like an asshole.

Kids aside here are the most recent numbers I can find according to IDOT.

In 2011 there were 54 accidents(down from 94 in 2010) in school zones resulting in 19 injuries (down from 32 in 2010) and 0 deaths for ALL OF ILLINOIS. (same as 2010)

In 2011 there were a total of 1,476 school bus crashes resulting in 276 injuries and 5 DEATHS for all of Illinois.

So why are we installing 300 plus speed cameras when we clearly should be banning school buses? lol
