Responsive Website

By |2017-03-13T11:46:51+00:00March 7th, 2012|Categories: News|Tags: , , , |

New developments are on the way that should improve the website viewing experience for tablet computer/smart phone users.

The website has been using the Onswipe service to make the viewing experience for iPad and Android tablet users much better, however i wasn’t happy with the layout or the user functionality that Onswipe provided. It didn’t really suit the website.

Plans are under way to make the website design responsive. That means that the site design will respond and adapt its layout to the device you are using. So far the results look impressive, giving a great viewing experience to iPad and mobile phone users.

The responsive design should go live within the next few weeks.

SlideShowPro Progress

Editing the photo galleries in SlideShowPro

January saw the completion of the SlideShowPro gallery conversion process. All of the galleries are now powered using the excellent application’s media player and offer full screen viewing. You can view my review of SlideShowPro Director here.

Several of the galleries remain on the website but are not listed in the portfolio area. These second layer galleries can be accessed typing the word ‘portfolio’ into the website search box. This seemed to be a better solution than totally deleting the work from the site.

The galleries in line for further development are the portrait, single images and Norfolk project sections. More work will be added to these slideshows over the coming weeks.

The website has been getting some great feedback with clients and visitors impressed by the design and ease of use. One web designer even commented that ‘this is the way all photographers should have their website’.

The work continues! Refinements to text, layout and navigation are just some of the improvements made over the last few weeks, with more changes to come this month.

Finally, don’t forget to check out the new Tumblr blog 50mm for daily photo posts. All sorts of images, news and photography miscellanea posted there.

Website redesign: Phase Two

By |2017-03-13T11:46:56+00:00December 6th, 2011|Categories: News|Tags: , , , , |

After a few days in maintenance mode, the website has returned with a new design. I’m pleased with the results. The website will be easier to update and expand – more about the site expansion very soon.

Next up, we have phase two which is aimed solely at an upgrade of the portfolio. The new system will use the Slideshow Pro system and allow viewing on the iPad and any mobile devices. Along with the portfolio, and series of pages will be introduced under the title ‘featured photography’ where images and text will give a better insight into the work. Think of it as an in-depth expansion of the portfolio

The portfolio upgrade will start this month and continue into 2012. The ‘featured photography’ pages will start to appear on the website next year.

The New Website

By |2017-03-13T11:46:56+00:00December 2nd, 2011|Categories: News|Tags: , , , , , |

So here it is. The news area of the website. Just one of a number of improvements that have been added with the redesign of the website. The News area is the blog for this website and doesn’t replace the Richard Flint Photography Blog. Any new pages, changes to the website or exciting additions to the functionality of the website will be reported here. I may also add a few comments every now and again.

So why the new website style? The old design was OK, wasn’t it? Well, yes, but a number of factors came into play that mean’t that the old theme was becoming problematic (lack of support, bugs and other issues) but the biggest reason was flexibility. The new website design enables new components like video, galleries and more to be added in the blink of an eye.

The first phase of this project concerns the redesign of the whole site. Phase two is more specific – the implementation of a new gallery slideshow system that can be viewed on a variety of systems from Desktop to mobile phone.
