bespoke vs off-the-shelf

We have worked with many content management systems and even written our own a couple of times but at some point a system comes along that has the right balance of usability, flexibility, security and longevity that makes it difficult to ignore. WordPress started life as a simple blogging platform but over the last decade it has developed into a very flexible platform for building websites of all sorts and has the extensibility to grow with you.

One of the advantages of this widespread popularity is that the number of people making free and premium ‘themes’ for wordpress is such that you could spend days just browsing the off the shelf themes that can then be customised to give them your own flavour.

However, if you really want to make an impression with something original and uniquely you, we can design a theme from scratch that fits your own personal requirements. A website that looks completely bespoke but still has all the power of WordPress behind it.

Perfectly Presented Images

Our sites are designed to show your images at their best using scaling or lighbox techniques. Categorise your images into galleries and add descriptions – what ever you need, we can integrate into your design.
Blogs

Blogs are becoming an increasingly popular way of showing off new work and allow your site visitors to commenting on your work or articles. Blog based websites are becoming increasingly popular and a well designed blog based gallery website can be just as effective as a traditional static website.
Bespoke Design

Our sites are custom designed for you – unlike off-the-shelf packages, we design for you, reflecting your photography, making your website truly unique with the features your need. With 20 years of design experienced we’ve built sites for some of the leading landscape photographers in the UK.
E-commerce – Online Gallery shops

If you want to sell your works online we can set up your online shop for you including features like size options and edition management. Take payments with PayPal, Google or WorldPay.

Fully content managed

The days of static websites are pretty much over. Using the Wordpress framework we allow you to quickly and easily add and amend content to your gallery website, with on-page editing and quick and easy gallery management
Expandable Functionality

With a massive collection of Plugins available for your website you are able to customise your site in the future.
You Own It – No Monthly Fees

Unlike off-the-shelf subscription websites, you pay a one-off fee for the design and build of your website, after that, it’s yours to expand and manage with no monthly costs other than for hosting. Of course we’ll offer excellent after sales support, so if you want to expand with new features or have any issues with your site once completed, we’ll be happy to help.
Search engine friendly

You’ll want your website to be seen – our sites are optimised so they show up on search engines. We can also help with your social networking, linking you in with Twitter and Facebook if you wish.
