Default New Website what do you think?

Hey guys! Well I got bored of designing my own site so I had Staci from Quirky Bird whip one up for me. I wanted Black and White, something very classic. Now the home page isn't finished yet but I uploaded several pieces and finished all content pages except for my Publications page.
What do you think so far?

Looks very good Katie! I like the classic design and it is easy to navigate. You need to run a spell checker on your FAQ page, I saw a couple of errors.

I really like it to! I suggest changing the blue borders around your pictures to black. Great job!

Hi guys! Thanks so much for your comments. I did a spell check on the FAQ page, I put it up at 2am last week so there were bound to be errors!, and the borders will be changed. Thanks so much I am loving it I wanted something classic as I have a very big problem of changing my site on a daily basis so now I am have something I can keep for good now.

Good Job! One of the best sites I have reviewed here. It is very simple and straight forward. Good layout and nice pictures.

very striking and unique! one tiny issue though, the email link and the designer's link at the bottom are not visible because the "a" tag is not inheriting the font color in "highlight style5", it's using the default link colors, so the links are black instead of white.

I think the site works great. I think the script at the top (your name!) is difficult to read.

And maybe I am just an idiot, but I think the graphics are a might old fashioned for your beautiful and contemporary work. Your work and your photographs are wonderful.

Thanks so much everyone for your comments! I have been adding little things here and there, still a few loose ends to clear up. But everything seems to be working and overall I am very pleased.

Looks good. My only comment is perhaps you could crop your pics to the same size so the boxes are uniform? The black outlines around each pic are a little distracting but maybe would be less so if the boxes were all the same size.

My $0.02 worth.
