What Makes A Good Photography Website
To me, photography and art websites have to be tactile and user friendly. They must combine ease of use with a beautiful display. The two websites I have mentioned so far dipict these brilliantly. the use of the arrow keys to scroll through galleries, diplay work and make the viewing process very intermate. The full screem mode for the website again, imerces you completely into the work itself without Facebook messages flashing and alerts honking as you are viewing.
Another aspect to be aware of is how the website is viewed between tablets, computers and mobile phones. This has been a problem for years when it comes to flash based websites. Flash is format of website that uses software only found on a Mac or PC. This is a disadvantage for clients who use tablets and mobile phones on the go. The advantage of an HTML website is the web design websites can offer you a free design service and these will be compatible between media.
There are many different websites used to build a website i have been looking at, they include; WIX, Weebly, Moonfruit and clickpic. The website I am most interested in using for my final website is Weebly. This is because it's free, easy to design and alter layouts and you have more customisation options than say, clickpic. I want a simple layout for my website that includes a title bar.
