I like it! It's clear and concise. Nice design layout that's easy to follow with just enough information and flash to keep it interesting. Nothing over the top!

Very nice site Andres, congrats. Just one thing...in your useful links, your 2nd Flickr link goes to Talk Micro.

Cheers,

Hi andres, I like it. Simple, clean and beautiful, easy navigation, no clutter.

As it is now, it seems more directed to people who come to know you from the stock sites and can learn more about you on the site, but why not considering to push the flow the other way round, that is make it easy for people who come to the web site to find your portfolios on the various stock sites. From the marketing point of view, you should consider including some links/information on where your images can be purchased from.

For instance if somebody visits one of the photo sections on the site, for example "fashion", there is no obvious clue on where to see more and where to buy the pictures.

Looks great Andres, this is something I really need to focus on for myself as well. Oh that I were actually a designer

Thanks for the great comments, I appreciate it :)

Nick thanks for letting me know about the link, fixing it right away .......

Ackab, you are right, I will promote my portfolios a bit more, I should put something in the front page as well as every photogallery category.

Thank you!

Very nice, very clean. I like how you use flash, but it's not overwhelming.

Very nicely done - pretty clean and easy to get around.

I liked your bio page - learned more about you on there than anywhere else (not about your work, but about you)...like, geeze I thought you were old like me, but your not.

The galleries...well as always, your work speaks for itself.

Enjoyed the visit :)

Great Job Andres

Nice... Professional, Clean, Organized, Significant Marketing Info Presented Up Front...Easy To Navigate.

I really love your new site, it is compact, clean and efficient. Thou, your old one was also very nice when you created it.

I like your fresh new look and I think you did a great job presenting all the important info for your company.

Andres, it's really very impressive... you've thought of everything.

One question though... will you be creating a spanish version so your folks back home can read it all? I ask because everyone here has been going on at me to publish a spanish version of mine. They tell me they just switch off as soon as they see any english text... (even the ones who can understand english).
