Website progression

I am very happy with how my website is coming along. Here are a few screen shots of the stage in which I am at. 

I am very happy with my print after it has been edited and placed over my title image.

I am now considering buttons on my home page and if they are event relevant/where they would take the visitors of the website.

Constantly debating whether the text is over whelming the images which is something I want to avoid, I'm going to have to find a 'happy medium' to solve this.

Type variations 

I had downloaded a typeface called Playfair display unknowing that this typeface was full caps, I had received some criticism that this was illegible and hard to read against the white background.

The fact that the primary reason for my website was to inform people about these historial photographs with my input on how the colouration had changed the images, the typeface is very cruical to convey my information.

I am certain I wish to use a serif typeface as I feel that is the most relevant choice and serif typefaces scream out to me - History, the entire theme behind this site.

For this reason I am now experimenting with web safe serif fonts, Times new roman Bold quite appeals to me. The bold aspect makes the white text legible over the white, monochrome images, something which is vital also.
