Came across a blog post about a new service called snapm. Looks to be still another directory for photographers to sign up for, with one major catch. They want a 15% booking fee for anything you do through their site.
But, that's not what caught my eye. It was the following comment.
I jumped when I saw this post, as i've been looking at garish fullscreen flash pages with Jack Johnson or Iron & Wine playing in the background for weeks. It gets really tiring to find a site with great photos but when you look for the cost it is listed as 'investment' instead of 'price'
Admittedly this was on a fairly techie blog, so the opinions of websites might be a little different than most people. But it does seem like a lot of photography forums, although not this one so much, tend to discuss websites as "what template should I use" or "does anyone know where I can find music for my site".
And I know I've posted about this before, but it seems like a lot of photographer's websites out there are pretty, but violate all sorts of guidelines for web design and usability that come from people that do nothing but web design and study usability.
