New website - help appreciated

I have just completed the process of overhauling my site as I upgraded to the Squarespace v7.1 platform. The site is now live and I'd love it if members could help me detect obvious bugs etc

The site remains alanbrownphotography.com

I have streamlined the site, retaining focus on what I consider to be the key areas of interest. I have made a conscious decision not to include any links to sales, primarily as that does not fit with my vision for the site.

If members would be willing to take a peek and browse around, feeding back any issues found I would be grateful.

I continue to clean up and migrate any content of interest (primarily historical blog entries). For past visitors I'd love to hear from you if there is anything missing that you might feel useful.

I am aware of likely formatting issues when viewing on mobile devices - this will be dealt with in due course.

Other than that, I would greatly appreciate feedback on the feel of the site. My goal is to provide a place where others can find interest, inspiration and value from my past experiences.
My number one concern is coming across as condescending or superior - I am simply an enthusiast so please view the site from that perspective.

Sorry this (brief) request is so lengthy, but I do respect the viewpoint of all of our members, and seeing through your eye provides much more value than doing so alone.

Thanks!

I viewed your new site on my computer. It is definitely a fantastic upgrade from your previous one. The look is contemporary. It's very easy to navigate and everything flows in a logical order. Pages and links are organized nicely. I like the new blog page much more than the old one for sure. On my computer, I had nothing buggy happen. Same with my phone except that the button link describers get squinchy. I guess because the length of them, but it's not a big deal at all. I wonder how it would look if you put a descriptor off the button with the button saying click here or something similar. Anyway, it's definitely a really good upgrade to what you had before.

Thanks Jennifer, I really appreciate the time you have taken to review and for your generous feedback.

I have limited time to ensure I get everything I need off the old site but hope to get to reviewing the mobile format following.
