Topic: I'll show you mine, if I can see yours

[zapsnaps]

Would it be an idea to have a thread where people post their website address?

Here's mine. It's very old, so comes with three caveats: 1) it was made before the world dominance of the iAnything - so if you want to view it on an i device, you'll need Flash capability (or something like that - I don't understand computers at all) 2) I was then a generalist - so it includes a bit of everything; now I only shoot nudes. 3) there are one or two nude pictures on it, so I leave it to you if you view it at work.

Lastly - as I'm sure most FW's will realise - any special effects were created in the camera or in the lab - they are all 100% PS-free (apart from resizing).

Definitely a case to be made for an upgrade, Zap, so that your pics can be seen at their best and at the viewer's own pace.  Maybe using one of the free web packages if you don't code yourself.  I made my site phone-friendly last year and the traffic doubled almost immediately.

I think you better start thinking about that flash thing pretty fast if you want to still have any traffic  at all.
There is a large security hole in flash which forced Adobe to pull the plug on the product. As a result all browsers will kill compatibility with it on their next version.

I like both David's (Zapsnaps') and Sandeha's websites and would echo Sandeha's suggestion for an interface on David's that allows the viewer to move around at their own pace.  I'm not sufficiently tech-savvy to fully understand what Francois said but he's well up on these things and I would take his word on the subject.

I've just completed building and populating - to an extent - my own website: www.pauljenkin.com.  It's mostly film but I will be posting both film and digital on there - so be warned.....

I'll be adding more content in the months ahead but would welcome any constructive criticism on offer - whilst bearing in mind that I'm trying to keep as clean, uncluttered and minimalist look to it as possible.

I use viewbook and like it a lot as far as managing and presenting photos. They have standard slide shows but also scrolling

Francois: thank you for telling me about the Flash problem - that's enough to overcome my inertia and re-do it. I think I'll have 2 options on the landing page - figurative or everything else.

I know pretty much everything is moving on to HTML5...
I know a lot of flash programmers who will see themselves out of a job in the very near future.

FWIW, I always liked well designed simple classic HTML pages. Granted they are harder to update and don't allow little animations and as much interaction but on the server side of things, they take no power to host and are simply bulletproof...

I closed the page after 10 seconds. I never understood why so many (and also famous) photographers had designed their sites with that blinki-blinki thing to show stills. uBlock, Flashblock and Ghostery are my friends. Always on. I know they don't do much to protect my privacy, but surfing the web without them would be horrible for me. f zeitgeist.

[Francois]

They do work to some extent. Right now, the best plugins are Noscript and disconnect. To this I add AdBlock plus to get rid of ads on all website and remove the YouTube ads.

But for the ultimate in privacy, you have to get TOR browser. This thing does script blocking and onion routing through three anonhmizing proxy's before giving you the site. It's what's used to send stuff to sensitive sites like Wikileaks.

Onion Routing?  anonhmizing proxy's?

Ahhh... stupid Android keyboard...
It's an anonymizing proxy, not an anonhmizing proxy's. I don't even know what language this is!

Well played Bryan

I just re-themed my site to shift the emphasis from the blog to the photos. TRIGGER WARNING: There be digital photos on that thar site!

This Wordpress theme actually looks better on a phone than on a computer! I'm not sure if I'll keep that dumb Flickr pagescrape as my front page, or just have it go directly to my portfolio page. Also, I'm not the biggest fan of the tiled photos on the portfolio pages, but for a free Wordpress plugin I'm not really going to get any better. At least once you open one photo it goes into a full-screen scrollable lightbox.

I like the simplicity and ease of use of the wordpress blog style site... I should maybe add a galley button though?

Ironic that just in the last three days the menu on my site has broken.  Apparently you can no longer use php scripts within html, which is a real nuisance.  Looks like there's work to be done.

[Urban Hafner]

I have a site as well. It needs some work.
