I started working on updating my website last August, but one thing after another kept me away from really focusing on getting it done. At one point I worked on moving it to a paid hosting site (in fact I switched for a couple of hours!), only to find what I should have known from the beginning – I don’t like giving up control! Well after many hours at the computer, I can say it is done.
I have gone with a darker theme this time. It seems to really set the images off. I made numerous changes to the structure and pages. Here are a few of the highlights:
- The site should now display nicely on all sizes of screens and devices.
- Implemented security for the entire site (notice the padlock in your address bar).
- Added collections of my favorite and most popular images on the home page.
- Restructured the galleries so they can now be viewed by category, general location, season, and aspect ratio.
- Changed the large image view. Images can be viewed larger so you can see more detail and there are more sharing options available.
- Added shipping charges to the shopping cart.
- The shopping cart now works on all devices!
On the technical side, the site was created once again using templates from The Turning Gate. I am really impressed with their products and support. They offer a great solution for photographers wanting to create their own website.
Please, have a look around and let me know what you think!
Nice work, Monte! The new site looks and works great. And your photography is superb. Congrats and best of luck for much [continued] success! Cheerio from England, Nat
Thanks Nat! I appreciate you checking it out.
