kids going back to school, Weddings, Portrait Sessions, our youngest son ending up in theatre after a fall (He's fine now though, thankfully!), Maybe not the best time to embark on a massive new project.
But, we felt that the website was in dire need of an overhaul.
So, we started to piece together what we wanted the new website to do:
- New look
- New interface
- Better content
- Easier navigation
- More cross browser compatibility
So, we started work.
First of all, there was the issue of mobile, what to do with them. We have noticed by looking at the logs on our site, that a massive 79% of all traffic is from mobiles, so the new site had to be mobile friendly. But, without pushing out the users of conventional PC's.
So, we came up with a solution of building a site specific for mobile browsers, this given them the same content as the desktop version of the site, but formatted for the smaller screen.
This also meant developing a mobile solution for the On-Line gallery that we use. In the past, our galleries have been mobile compatible, but now they're built for mobile devices, so they work much better, and overall they're easier to use.
So, when is the new site going live?
It was supposed to launch yesterday but it clashed with the release of Apple's iOS 6, and there were a few incompatibility issues with it, so it's been held back.
The good news, is that these issues have now been resolved, and the launch of the website will happen in the next few days.
