i know nothing about creating websites, etc. but i think it looked really good. very classy. i liked the header font and also the way the links lit up (home...contact...gallery) when you click on them.
nicely done!

I really like the website. Very cool. I like the black and white, IMO it has a nice feel to it.
I enjoyed how the pictures opened up in frames when you clicked the images. The only thing IMO if it were me (and this is entirely me, this is your site and your own taste) would be to have the images overhead, rather to the right so that the user doesn't have to scroll down and the images are still within size. Perhaps the same with the gallery page as they would all fit near each other as they all load separate pages for the gallery upon clicking.
I'm sure my word has very little as I'm brand new to these boards. But i just wanted to post my own $.02 as you said you were open to feedback.
Either way, looks professional IMO and very clean with a good format, user friendly, easy to navigate and even easier with the submission page for contact rather than forcing someone to copy and paste the email address.

I just noticed that all the inappropriate posts disappeared! Now that is appropriate - and appreciated. Thank you.

Made a change to the gallery.
What do you guys think?

Still got a ton of pictures to go through from all of our other projects, but I'm working on the format of the galleries first.

The more pictures the better in my book! Show your work - that is what clients will want to see. (which by the way, nice work - really beautiful rooms)

I agree the more the better. I would suggest showing as much detail work as possible, on a high end home that would be the first thing I would look for. Did you take these pics or did you hire someone? All of them are off on the horizontals. I don't know if it is on purpose or not. For galleries such as this I would recommend using nice straight shots and not tilted looking ones.
This is a big improvement from the first galleries you shared with us. Looks like you are moving in the right direction.
Do you have a relationship with a low voltage company? Do you offer Automated Window Treatments and Lighting Control? (Shameless company plug coming) I would love an opportunity to talk to you about what the type of residential and commercial projects I work on.
Thanks,
Rob

We don't currently have a relationship with any low-volt companies. We do offer those things when the customer requests it. PM me your info.
We should have some really good photo's in our galleries very soon, just got a new DSLR & will be taking many photo's.
