In the last couple of weeks, I worked on completely redesigning the website. The aim was to make it more functional and accessible – and give it a pretty new look. So, it took a lot of time, and I didn’t have much of it. Anyway, finally, it is ready for 2015, and I can get back to business – posting photography, it was, if I remember correctly.
Before I get to that, here is a quick orientation walk through the new site:
On the front page, you see a header showpiece on top (be patient if it doesn’t pop out immediately; it will load eventually). Below, the last seven posts are displayed in chronological order. If you click “show more” at the bottom of the page, you can access the older ones. Another possibility for browsing through the posts is to use the calendar or the archives in the sidebar. I think the functionality is quite self-explanatory, so I won’t elaborate. There is also a neat search function on the sidebar and a tag cloud if you want it to be more topic-oriented. So, the site works mainly through the front page now, with the sidebar as a toolkit for navigation. However, the top menu is not gone entirely. The About or Contact section remained basically unchanged, so if you want to give me some feedback – that’s the way to go, and I would certainly appreciate it (or you can comment on the individual posts, of course) 🙂 The other menu points are brand new. So, the portfolio section is a new way to conceive and re-organize photo series by creating portfolios from thematically or geographically linked posts. So instead of searching all of my Uzbekistan posts, for example, here you have them in one place, ready to view.
Another new feature is the Store. You can buy prints or digital copyrights for specific pictures via the 500px store. It’s just a selection, if you need something else please contact me. So that’s it. Back to business:
