  • Speed and clarity. Most site traffic comes via mobile devices these days, so it should perform and display clearly on a phone or tablet.
  • Ease of navigation, being able to find and read the information quickly and simply, and should be well organised.
  • Simplicity. The previously mentioned flashy gimmickry can be problematic.
  • Thumbnails linking to full size images should show the whole image and not be cropped (yes, I know we do it on this site :dry: ).
  • Things.
  • Stuff.

Guess I'd better remake my thumbnails :P

Things and Stuff might be the hardest part, though.... :hmm:

Any an all misspellings are henceforth blamed on the cats.

I would also avoid opening a new window/tab to view the pic (which I notice your current site does).

yeah, I'd like to do away with that, too...
considering just having images (in groups so it's not too many per page) all in a column on a page and let people scroll through... Maybe with "anchor" thumbnails at the top. Not sure...

I made a list of what I'd want on my page and ended up with the sad conclusion that I pretty much have nothing I want to show... or at any rate nothing much in the categories I'd like to have... :dry:

That reminds me of when I did Art at school (and failed, obviously! :P)
At the end they gave you a section of wall to fill with your best pictures and a table with a folder for the rest of your work.
Sadly ALL of my work didn't even fill a fraction of the wall and I was suddenly left wondering what I'd been doing for the last two years. :lol:

Personally, I don't mind the "new tab" thing in portfolios, it means you can go back to the thumbnail gallery instantly. When I have to wait for the picture and then wait for the gallery to load again then my patience starts to quickly diminish.

well, I think I'd avoid the back & forth thing between thumbs and images....
My greatest issue is probably things like
"I want a paleo art section"
"But I only have one such image and it's anachronistic to boot"
(talking to myself, yes...)
