Website Redesign

Well it seems to have taken forever but i guess 4-5 weeks in total but today its finally gone live, The Mail address still needs to be set up and i hope thats done by close of play tonight and i still have some of my older images to put up but they are still packed in boxes from my move but all in all its 99.999% finished,If you can have a look and give some feedback both good and bad-likes and dislikes,I can change most things myself through the edit suite but certain things are to be done by the designer and i have a month to make any changes without incurring costs, I always find having a site designed by others stressful and this was the case this time, Its always difficult having something in your mind and getting it across to others,Also being on opposite sides of the country compounds the fact, Any changes minor or major take 3 days which can be frustrating, But its done and being easy to modify myself means that i wont have to pay for up keep,the site was very expensive but i guess you get what you pay for,The company i have been dealing with are www.livebooks.com,Prices start from $800 and they specialise in websites for photographers,There are a couple of things to take into account when you view the site-to get back to the home page you have to click on my name-thats the most unintuative part and i may get that changed,there is a slideshow button at the bottom which i have left for you to turn on,It can be done automatically at my end-is that better?Do you like the opening pages?easily changed
Give me some honest feedback and i can then put this baby to bed

Bio's

David Courtenay, a self taught wildlife and nature photographer, has been capturing images for over 30 years. He has had a passion for wildlife since early childhood and remembers being glued to the television whenever Survival, Wildlife on One and other natural history documentaries were shown. In the 2006 he swapped his established career for the life of a wildlife photographer, such a move demands a measure of uncompromising passion and commitment.

David has travelled extensively throughout Europe as well as spending more than 7 months in India working with local guides and trackers in search of Bengal Tiger, Asian One horned Rhino and Asian Elephant. He has also photographed Wildlife in Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra, Africa, Canada and America. Working closely with Conservation companies he tries to raise funds to help Wildlife that has been put on the endangered list by poaching and habitation loss

Martin Dyer has had a passion for avian wildlife since childhood, particularly raptors. Photography was also another keen interest and it was with the specific availability and control of the whole process that digital offers that Martin was then able to combine the two in 2003. Based in the UK, Martin is a regular visitor to Scotland, specifically the Isle of Mull to watch the Eagles resident there. Other trips to Europe and around the UK are usually part of Martin’s agenda in a typical year.

However, as a firm believer on making the most of the local patch, Martin has spent a lot of time and hard work creating a wildlife garden which is reaping the rewards with many new species and varieties of wildlife. A keen member of a number of wildlife photographic groups, Martin is keen to expand his portfolio into other areas of wildlife, and has already established a wide portfolio of images of fungi.
