We have a brand new site and my sister reported it was a mess on her computer- then a friend could not see the slide shows. I figure I can find all kinds of computers with all kinds of browsers here- can you help? If it works, or does not, I would love to know your browser, and version. You do need at least Flash 8. Specifically- Do you see the slideshow on the home page? Do you see the different slideshow on other pages- for example testimonials? Is there anything wonky you notice? www.megandmichaelweddings.com ps Mods if this should not be here please move it- I need help as I have a conference call with our web guy late tonight. Thanks everyone!

Meggie, it worked okay for me. Mac OSX 10.3, and using Firefox. I do have a rather slow internet connection at home, so I couldn't watch it all the way through. Kept hanging up, and song would stop and start. But I don't think that's your website, but that is what will happen for people with slower connections. The photos were awesome!

It looks beautiful, Meggie! I've got Firefox 3.0.3, and the slideshows worked just fine for me.

It looks absolutely stunning. Great photography. A wonderful example of what true professionals can produce and why people would want a professional to shoot their wedding. Everything worked perfectly. The only thing I noticed was it did say "Done but with errors on page" in the bottom of my browser (IE7 Windows) but it looked and worked perfectly despite that.

Do you see the slideshow on the home page? Yes, but the music has way too much bass or something! It is very unclear sounding and it "vibrates" my speakers! Do you see the different slideshow on other pages- for example testimonials? Under Portfolio/weddings, this is how it displayed:
Since I assumed there were pictures under those colored blocks, I clicked them. I was then able to see the page with pictures Is there anything wonky you notice? The music, as I stated above. And how to say this...I could get into the portfolio/weddings page from the home page, but then once I went to any of the other pages, I could not return to that portfolio/wedding page. I had to return to the home page first, if that makes sense. I use AOL, and I believe I am still using IE6 BEAUTIFUL pictures Meggie! Good luck with fixing your site!

Yep-there should be photos in those blocks lol! And the music should not be unclear- certainly is not for me. Thank you Hukd- that really helps. You should definitely be able to go back, to anything you want. Firefox definitely seems to work....that is what we have too... Jimmer that error message should not be there- thank you for letting me know... and thank you for the compliments everyone!

Oh, and FYI, I did sit and sit and sit...waiting for the pictures to replace the colored blocks. They never appeared, so I cried.

Oh, you got lucky, Meggie. I'm a PM at a web development company and testing websites is a huge part of my day. I'm giving it a thorough click through right now... how much time do you have? * you get a 404 (page not found) if you try to use the font size feature at the top.

I'm running Firefox 3.0 and it seemed to work perfectly on my machine. Flash and Audio. HP Pavilion 1243w connected at 3.6 Mbps on an AT&T Sierra 875U aircard through Open DNS.

Things I noticed: * you get a 404 (page not found) if you try to use the font size feature at the top. * because of the dropdown menu off of Portfolio, the word "portfolio" isn't a link like the rest of the top naivgation bar is. By default, you should hardcode that 'portfolio' to link to the first item in the drop down. * there is a HUGE amount of white space below all the photos in your portfolio before you get to your little write up. The white space is all HTML, so it's extra space outside of the Flash that the majority of the site is built in. * zahara and joe in your portfolio - the text is cut off at the end, can't read the whole story. * did a search for "monastery", a word I saw in one of the write-ups. It came up as zero results - this would be because text within Flash is not searchable, because it's embedded. (I truly hope I'm not scaring you with my comments!! This is what I do for a living - make websites as user-friendly and bug free as possible. ) * super nitpicky, but on the blog/news page, the 2nd paragraph has an extra space infront of the words, "This particular wedding..." . Looks like there's another one near the bottom, on the sentence, " Il Fornaio did a wonderful job..." * the last news item posted, about the new site being online... it'd be great if the "Let us know what you think" was hyperlinked with either a mailto: tag or a link to a contact us form. Noticed you've got Google Analytics installed. Awesome. Make sure your web guy walks you through exactly what you can do with that, if you're not entirely sure. It can do amazing things for you. Your site looks amazing. I hope you have a CMS in the back, to keep it current easily? Google likes new content on pages, and if you keep your website up-to-date and make frequent updates, you'll index higher in search results. I was married barely three months ago and I got all lovey-dovey clicking through your site looking at other people's happy days. I commented so many times to my photographer how much she must just love her job, getting to do that day after day. Fantastic site, overall. (Oh, just so you know, I have a problem with the noises computers make, so my speakers are off by default, always. I didn't test anything to do with the audio. I also didn't test much of the online proofing area, because I was instantly confused as soon as I got in there)

Does anyone here use Internet Explorer 6? If anything is going to break on a website, it'll be for users of IE6, which is still about 25% of web users.

I'm on a mac with OS 10.4.11 using safari and it works perfectly!! Looks awesome! You guys do great work. Looking at your shots makes me want to get married again!! (And then when I think of our stupid photographer who forgot to take a table shot of one of our tables, I get so ticked--almost 10 years later!!)

Meg, it is wonderful. The music is fine for me, the slideshow on the home page is wonderful (loved the pugs), saw slideshow on testimonial page (and the &bull at the bottom. This same problem occurs under Zahareh and Jose's slide show in portfolio.. the title is cut off horizontally. Same for Oscar and Joanna, so I assume this problem will show up elsewhere on the site. Ah I see &bull elsewhere like on your About us page, so maybe that is just there, waiting.. The drop down menu under Portfolio, is very tricky to use.. hard to get the mouse down to one of the two entries quick enough to click and go.. it does happen but took a number of tries. Also "Engagement Experience" text goes off the side of the menu or is truncated. The graphic under each picture in the engagement slideshow.. which must say "Engagement Experience".. that is cut off on the bottom and I can only see the tops of the Es and t and such. Then there is a long white space before your text. Not really proofing but in the third paragraph there is a double , , and in the second to last para I see a Carnel that is probably supposed to be Carmel. Same thing, with the same text on the Wedding menu selection. The font size worked for me, though at first I thought it didn't change, but going back, it did. This is using AOL 9.0 VR for Win. Running Windows XP.

Karen- you rock! Thank you so much. Our site is totally maintainable by us- joomla for editing all the text and slideshow pro to maintain the galleries. Every single image in the slideshows is keyworded to the max, as are the articles - we can change everything every day if we want! As soon as everyone can see it . The blog is temporary- wordpress should be up and going in a few days- so we can have comments. We should also have some other music for the portfolio, and also a section for displaying our albums. I am forwarding your comments to our web magician, as we will be meeting in a day or two to fix stuff. And I will fix the typos and the Zahrah gallery. Hmm, the one thing I wonder about is I know I coded some images in Oscar and Joannas gallery for monastery beach.... And we know about the gap- I put Love...Light...Relationship as high as it would go in the area I can maintain so our dude has to fix that... And full screen in portfolio will have to be more explained as it is gorgeous....but not easy to see... I so appreciate this! If you get the chance to click over the next few weeks I would appreciate it. And all of you - thank you!!!! btw we totally give a TV Clubhouse discount
because it is my goal to be at weddings with a bunch of us there.

Using IE (6, I think) I don't have the same problem with the drop down menu under portfolio, but the text for Engagement Experience is still too long for the menu. and the graphic titles are still truncated horizontally. OK, with IE I do get the 404 Component Not Found when I use the text sizing icons.
