npl Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hey, I am in the process making a blog/portfolio as creative outlet for photography. At the moment I am modifying my wordpress theme heavily. Before I put the site into beta and start blogging and such i would like your opinions on the site's visuals and layout. I started with this theme "Canvas" by Woo themes on the magazine template.http://demo.woothemes.com/?name=canvas And I ended up with thishttp://borealtrek.com *Just note that some links to facebook or twitter might not work. Also the side bar is incomplete. Odds are I will add and subtract some widjets.' Please give me constructive criticism if you have any!Thanks!

Ice IT Support Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Nice work, it looks neat and well organized! If I understand correctly, you are a photographer, correct? After looking through the home page, that was slightly unclear. Perhaps adding a slideshow of your work where the large image at the top might help to make this fact a bit more clear. Once again, awesome job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npl Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Thanks! Btw where that large image located is a slider. It shows featured posts or whatever i want. Right now i only have dummy content on the site so only one image is only being displayed. Is there anything besides that you think needs adding?

anush Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Try to make the corners of the photo round as it looks much better that a square photo. but it is ur choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xwinuser Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) Do you mean you created the borealtrek.com site also? If so, that is an awesome looking site. Good job. I like Canvas as well. Nice, clean and organized. Hey, I am in the process making a blog/portfolio as creative outlet for photography. At the moment I am modifying my wordpress theme heavily.

npl Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I want this site to be the best that it can be lol. Any and all suggestions are welcome to make it better! Xwinuser http://borealtrek.com is going to be my blog/portfolio. I know the name sounds odd but it is better then nolan.com or nolanphotography.com . I find domains like that are lame and easy to forget. Boreal Trek means northern adventure and brings to mind the boreal forest in Canada. That is mainly what I like to do and shoot so I figured it was appropriate good name considering most decent TLD's are taken already.

xwinuser Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Is Nolan your name or just something you used for that example? NolanPhotography.com doesn't sound bad at all. But I like borealtrek.com too. Gonna book mark the site. Xwinuser Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I want this site to be the best that it can be lol.

Yeah thats my name and true in some respects but I just find it cliche. There are like a million "insert name here" photography sites on the web and business in IRL.
