Most SUCK…despite amazing photography.  I base my judgment on the following fatal flaws:

–site load takes longer than 2 seconds

–all flash

–fixed width, looks tiny on my huge monitor (see above)

–confusing to navigate

–doesn’t change image sizes based on viewer’s platform (fast LAN vs ATT 3G)

–anything with a stupid “click here to enter” link or auto music

–no keyboard controls

–and basically anything on livebooks.com

GREAT!  Counterexamples (which probably cost thousands of dollars to develop):

http://mariotestino.com/ (sweet!  even if it is flash)

http://www.linascheynius.com/numero.html (simple html, although horizontal is almost as annoying as auto-music)

http://www.grantgunderson.com/ (makes use of the whole browser window!)

http://www.carlosnunezphotography.com/ (nice simple html)

http://www.imagesby.com/main.html (flash load is too slow but wins for full screen panoramas)

yes…i know this site sucks too.  do as I say, not as I do.
