A friend recommended this site builder called 4ormat a few days ago. Just spent the last few hours trying to make it all come together. What do you guys think?

Really cool shots. I like it. I like how it scrolls downwards for you showing one photo at a time.

I really like the layout of the site itself, and the photos are awesome. What do you shoot with?

Comment: spelling and capitalization errors in the "about me" section don't do you any favors. You may also want to add some contact info, if that's what you're into.

Looks good. Simple and approachable. If you're interested in doing commercial, a contact page would be useful,

Also on a bit of a random note, I noticed that a few of the photos in "places" were taken in Savannah, which brings me to assume you go to scad, in which case I believe your portraits could have been more interesting by tackling some of the city's narrative. I find the area outside of the historic district fascinating, although that may simply be the contrast between Canadian and American cities. Anyways, good job with the website.

Looks real good!
Inspiring me to try and get something like this up.
How difficult is 4ormat to use? I have very little background in HTML

I'm hosting on 4ormat as well and it's so legit. Great back end, easy as flickr or 500px but you have a lot more customization than the average template. I'm running the am package, it's like $75 a year + domain. Really impressed for such a new company, customer service is great too.

Anyways Sean your website looks awesome, you new work is so good! I'd just fix up your about me a bit, doesn't really flow all too well. And then get your own domain obvi.
