My website...

Hi!

My name is Magda and several years ago I have started obsessively taking pictures.
As one of the very few, this hobby actually stuck and just 2 weeks ago a friend of mine created a website to show some of the photos I am most proud of.

I would appreciate some constructive criticism.

Please take a look at:

and let me know what you think

Thanks,
Magda

Settings > Privacy > Disable Javascript (or some variation of) in every browsers makes doing this useless. Takes me all of 5-10 seconds.

Or even just Menu > Save Page As... and it will save the page and all the images displayed to your computer. Again, almost no effort whatsoever.

Not to mention that nowadays, you can easily get add-ons to browsers that specifically bypasses/disables the no-right-click code. Someone that is going around stealing images is likely to be aware of/have this.

What you are really doing, when you disable right-clicking, is disabling useful shortcuts, not all of which are accessible through other menus, like "Bookmark This Page", and "Share Link", "Translate This Page", "Google {selected text}", "Open Link in New Window/Tab" (Which I personally, use religiously).

If you are that concerned about people stealing images, dont put them online. If you are slightly concerned about it, do something that actually takes time and effort to obtain the image... like compiling it in a flash file, or my favourite, slicing it into a few dozen pieces and then use the browser to render it as a complete image. if you "Save Image As", all you get is the one piece. Which means they need to download every piece and then stitch it back together in photoshop. Far more time consuming and expertise needed to steal the image.

Point is... all the No-Right-Click code is going to do, is stop the people that just like the picture and want to set it as their background. No real revenue loss. An actual image thief will bypass that crap in seconds.
