Although we still have a lot of work to do and it is far from complete, we are getting some great feedback on the new website. We are currently adding new galleries replacing the multimedia which will keep these as an option but all the sample galleries will emulate the front page gallery which with it's clean design and simple navigation is a very effective way to view sample images.
When developing the website, it was very important to us that it looked good on a desktop but also on all mobile devices. We previously experimented with having different version of the site for mobile devices but the new website scales beautifully for desktops, tablets, and smart phones, and looks great on all devices.
When the display is too narrow for the navigation bar, it swtiches to a drop down selection to choose any of the pages. The icons that are in a line on a wider screen line up vertically on an iPhone or any narrower display.
There are some key features in the website design
-
The design is based on HTML5 and CSS3 with backwards compatibility when possible, and does not use any flash
-
Responsive design that scales to screen size and orientation
-
The website is built on "blocks" making it easy to introduce major changes easily
-
Ther are a large selection of different templates available within the website
-
It is very easy to edit existing pages or add new ones
-
There is some very impressive automation e.g. when a wedding is added, it automatically gets posted to the News section, the Browse and Buy front page, and the annual listing.
-
The contact forms are built on a "back end system" which records every enquiry in a database
-
It has automatic optimisation for SEO
There is going to be lots of content added – pages for all popular wedding venues, pages for each of our wide range of products, and commercial case studies
We are getting much more involved in website development and have several projects in progress at the moment. If you have a requirement for a new website or want to re-vamp an existng one, I would be delighted to discuss your requirements and provide a quote.
