Well I know it hasn't been open very long, but over the weekend I am going to bring in a modification of the design of LostPhotograph. You can view the new look here.

I've put it into css + divs and changed a few things around for the better ^_^

So leave me some feedback on what you think.

Thanks

Matt

I think you should use the same gradient of the footer on the links bar. it's a really cool background, also, the link bar is a bit plain.
The content is very good organized, but it could fit the whole page isetead of having a smaller width then the footer and header.
in fact: if you use the same footer's width in the content, would be awsome.

overall is a great job. congratulations

I agree, spread the content boxes out as far as the header and footer, it looks awkward the way it is set up being smaller.

BTW, cool site.

Extend the footer 100% like the header, and no white border - maybe only on top.
The navigation doesn't feel complete.
The header and content area are very nice though, leave them, and please don't extend it, it will make it crap for reading at 100%
Nice work.

Love it! Think some darker colors/more blues could spice it up a bit in the header... but it's not imperative really. Rock on matt!

Thanks all!

Yea the nav area isn't the best looking part overall, need to find a way to make it look nicer.

I am going to keep the content area the width it currently is, full width that would look a bit funny.

What are people's loading times like?

you could also fit the header with content using the content width in the header, then fill the empty spaces at the sides with a background

well it should automaticaly do that, but i guess i messed up, thanks will take a look at it.

Just as an update the front end will be fully done by tomorow and working good.

I think you've made a good improvement. I like the new horizontal nav bar, altought when it expands it is a bit weird. Also the copyright box in the bottom looks a bit isolated from the rest of the site.
Otherwise than those details, I like it. Great job Matt :)

Thanks PSGirl :P

I've just changed servers so the site may be a bit funny to start off with, apart from that I have also given more disk space to free users and premium users so they can post more photos :D

Thanks

Matt
