I&#8217;m such a sucker for icons. The bride silhouette we actually used in our wedding as the cover image for the mix cds we made. I&#8217;ve wanted to use her again ever since!<\/li>\n<li>the scrollbar &#8211; the less clicks, the better! I personally can&#8217;t stand when the photos are buried beneath 4 menus. Also, when they are divided into names&#8230;I don&#8217;t know the people, so how do I know which to click on. If I do any dividing, it&#8217;ll be into &quot;Bridal\/Groom&quot; &quot;Wedding&quot; and whatever else.<\/li>\n<li>the background patterns &#8211; I&#8217;m also such a sucker for patterns.<\/li>\n<li>the simplicity &#8211; while I think <em>some<\/em> flash sites are nice, for the most part, I find them a pain. To tell people to re-size their page or even open a new one with loud music blaring can be bad for those poking around at work or the library. Especially when you (like I do) open several tabs during search options.<\/li>\n<li>the photo sizes &#8211; I know it takes a while to load (see dislikes), but I love the size of the photos. I think it allows the captured moment to shine through without having to squint<\/li>\n<li>the control &#8211; the viewer has complete control to what photo they want to look at. No fighting the auto slide show to go back to that one image you gasped at.<\/li>\n<li>the contact form &#8211; hopefully brides will find it convenient to use and I&#8217;ll have the majority of information I need immediately. Plus, I think it&#8217;ll help me communicate back with them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Dislikes:<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>loading time &#8211; there are a lot of photos, and it takes a while to load. Any suggestions? I&#8217;m looking into Ajax to use a dynamic photo load. However, <strong>Ajax is like a brand new toy&#8230;any tips from you web gurus out there? Or any additional things to possibly try?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m not totally opposed to incorporating flash, but from what I understand dynamic flash would be best, right? I just want a very clean, slick photo presentation where you don&#8217;t have to click a bunch to view the images. So yeah, I&#8217;m totally open to suggestions and I appreciate any feedback!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vertical House Wedding Photography version 1.0 is alive!
