Which photos? The "Our Recent Works" section? Or in the individual pages?


Aside: You should create a info@mxvaleting.ie email to forward to your gmail address. You will be able to reply from gmail as info@mxvaleting.ie

Also, a number of typos in: http://mxvaleting.ie/portfolio/vw-golf-2/

I'm presume you're talking about the Gallery page here?

I think grouping is the way to go, or at the least some kind of lazy loader happening. You're aware that page is more than 30MB.... right?

JAMES VTI S

Yes somesort of gallery :-) .. more organised.

I'm not a web designer or anything close just to make it clear, i guess the images are too big ?

Well done for what you have done.
You need to learn a bit more about some "web" things and using WordPress plugins

Image http://mxvaleting.ie/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/01-DSCF8783.jpg on the home page
is 3,310px × 2,066px (scaled to 88px × 55px) and a whopping 2,157.41 kB
It should be under 5k.

There are several other things besides the image sizes that could be improved as well.

The responsive design works well with the exception of the slider on the home page, try changing the settings to resize it or maybe make it not appear at all on small screen sizes.

JAMES VTI S

Ya i would like to keep the slider one size as its set for my screen, could i do that ?

The website is responsive so somewhere in the css you will be able to add or change values to do that.

Check your site visitor statistics. it is possible that perhaps 1/2 your visitors are on tablets or mobiles. How it looks on you monitor does not help your potential client using his smart phone. The average visitor will go back to Google before they wait for a slow website or try to find the content they want. Often just opening hours and the phone number. I have no idea your opening hours and your contact number is 4+ screens down on a mobile

Thanks ill keep that in mind and might give it a bash some other time :-)

What about the image grouping though, what is a good plug in and how do i group them

M.T.D

You can place your pictures on the page and lay them out using styling either inline (quick and dirty) or in the css file (bit more involved but only needs to be done once)

You already appear to have a gallery plug in.
If this is not working for you try nextgen gallery.

When using a gallery you are putting the pictures into the "gallery" and using a short code to insert it into the page.

If you need actual help to set it up PM me

you might want to consider adding submenus under gallery as you have a load of photos in your gallery section instead of trying to group them
