Lightgate Imagery

Owner Stipan Kopilovic

Editor used: Notepad

Comments from developer: The site is designed in Photoshop as a PSD-file and then handcoded as HTML/CSS and integrated into a Gallery2 system.

Comments from Jennifer Kyrnin: This is a gorgeous site. The color scheme is easy on the eyes, the photos are amazing, and it's not too cluttered with content - but you know there's a lot there. The caption text is a bit small, but for captions, this is okay. There is one minor error in the HTML that affects it from validating (an & was left in the code) and one error in the CSS (a typo in the leftmenu class), but otherwise this site's code is really good. My biggest concern about this site would be search engine optimization. It's clear, because there is a Google sitemap for the site, that Stipan wants the site to be found in search engines. But because there is so little text on the page, and what text there is has very few keywords I don't think this page will rank well for any terms other than it's name "Lightgate Imagery" (and when I test, it does come up #1 for that phrase). When I checked for the phrase "fine art photography" it wasn't on any of the first five pages of Google. But this is a case where it might not matter. If the site does well enough through word of mouth or the owners are willing to pay for PPC advertising, having less than stellar organic search results may be acceptable.
