Ooooo a nice new website redesign!
So the more observant amongst you will have noticed that my site has changed a lot in the last week. The original site, created in November 2013, was built to get me up and running and really nothing more, but now it’s time to build the site that I want to properly represent me and my work! I’d really like to know what you think about the redesign.
The major elements of the site are the Home Page, Info Pages, the Galleries and the Store:
- The Homepage is now dominated by a sliding image menu, which links through to an information page about each gallery
- As well as linking to the Gallery pages, The Info Pages give a brief overview of each gallery, such as locations, maps, descriptions, techniques I’ve used and my driver for each gallery
- The Galleries contain slideshows of all of the pictures, which can be clicked on and bought through the Store
- The Store again contains a smaller sliding image menu, that opens a gallery for each of the categories below. Again, all of the pictures can be bought.
The main aim of the redesign is to make the site more dynamic, more colourful and let you see big pictures, rather than the tiny thumbnails of the old site – it should scream photography!
I hope you like the changes! Let me know if there is something you really like, or something that you hate or can’t figure out. I’m still experimenting in a few areas, so what works one way on one part of the site may work differently elsewhere – please be patient, but also tell me which way you prefer it to work!
Thanks!
Scott
