Answer 1

First, I don't click links...second, learn to spell, Tomato and tomato are spelled the same, just pronounced different. Third, it's criticize

Answer 2

Your right it is a little dark but makes the colors pop.
Your events page links should open in a new window as to not take people from your site.
I would like to see more pictures of you.
I bet your hot but that is not the reason why ..it is because you are selling yourself as much as your skills.
You need to make people want to do business with you.
The first set of photos for weddings seems more artistic and the second set more about people.
I think maybe you should find a happy medium.
I did prefer the lighter look and the flowers are cool.
I have been studying ...well just getting started in Macromedia Flash.
I have Macromedia Flash 8 Professional and the Total Training for this software.
I would recomend the flash if you could.
It strikes a very professional image.

Good Luck

Answer 3

The black is not the right colour but it looks far better the blue which clashes with roses. Also it is cooler emotive colour warm tones ar earth tones would be a better choice. The engender the idea of warmth, joy, comfort. Pale colours and light pastels would invoke the idea of innocence or purity. Inspiring the undertone of a new beginings.
If you wish to use a darker colour med charcoal or greys would be approrite fro a highlight. When in doubt check out what other sites use.

Answer 4

O.K. I checked them both out and although I do agree with you on the black background possibly being to dark, the blue(?) one reminds me too much of the type of colors usually picked for bad bridesmaids dresses. And besides, black is more classy. Maybe you can find something in black that's similar to the blue in which it is darker at the top of the page and gradually get lighter towards the bottom. Hope that helps!

BTW, the roses look really nice.

Answer 5

Personally I like the black background. I think it is more elegant. Fix the fact that the page continues to run down when you scroll and nothing is there except the initial screenshot. The new page doesn't scroll like that , but the blus doesn't do it for me...if I were looking to use your services and that page came up I wouldn't stop and look very long. If the black background came up it would grab my attention and make me want to look around. Good Luck with your business endeavors.

Answer 6

The black is to dark! The blue is better but its more of a shower color than a wedding. Some color that is not loud but romantic.

Answer 7

I like the lighter one-weddings are happy times......black is just not that great for wedding websites

Answer 8

i like them both (the grey one is simply just too boring). i think the turquoise page provides more contrast with the roses, and the black page looks more professional.

just my opinion,

Answer 10

that is incorrect for persons to abuse and criticize those who smoke yet smoking can kill and human beings don't like sitting round a smoker because of of the smell and the actual incontrovertible reality that it ought to damage them.
