Site Map

Here is my site map.

Please note that for my images, I do not want a title, caption, or description for them. My site is a Portfolio only site, specifically geared towards those who want model portfolios. Thanks!

3 Photography Websites Critiqued

Bottle Bell Photography http://www.bottlebellphotography.com/intro.aspx I find this website initially beautiful but what I find myself not liking the music embedded into the site nor do I like the slow photo loads. People are impatient. Photos need to appear quickly and delaying it in any way can cause a potential client to leave your site. I do like that she has a blog that is easily accessible, which brings some of her images out quickly, with just a scroll. Her colors for her website are classy, though, which is a plus for her site. Brent Stirton http://www.brentstirton.com/ I liked this website right away. The hero image is definitely captivating. I found myself wanting to see more. The controls are easy to see and unobtrusive. As I went through his easy-to-navigate website I found the hero image definitely a feature throughout, which is great. The color of the website is classy and frames his images well. David Fish Photography Studio http://www.davidfish.com/ This site is just NOT something I want to look at. The design is child-like and screams amateur. I did not even want to click “Enter.” But I did, to my regret. A lot of links with little photos, and the colors chosen for his site were clashy. I disliked this site from the beginning. I woudn’t stay around long enough to contact him for work. Weddings pay enough for you to get a decent website, and there are plenty of do-it-yourself (with an editor) hosting sites out there that you can avoid looking like this!

New Domain!

And subsequently a new name for me, as well. Jennifer Giuffre Photography, domain name: www.jenngphoto.com. Working on directing it to a host of my choosing....once I figure out who the lucky host will be. More to come soon. TTFN!

Skills Level

My computer skills are "Above Intermediate." I am proficient in both Mac and Windows platforms, as well. Proficient in the following: Microsoft office (except Excel) Photoshop Lightroom Internet savvy Blogger savvy Bridge I've created several websites via iWeb and several editable template photography portfolio hosting sites such as Wix, Pixpa, and smugmug. I am currently in a trial at the bigblackbag.com. I previously had a website hosted by sitebuilder and a domain name by godaddy, but discontinued them due to changing my business name to my own name. I have yet to purchase a new domain name under my new name. That is all that I can think of. TTFN!

First Post

First day of class. I'm enjoying my instructor's sense of humor. Should make class pretty interesting. TTFN.
