Here are the major features I think you’ll enjoy:
- Images advance quickly as a low res fpo loads first then the original image snaps into place (this is optional).
- All galleries are represented by a thumbnail image for quick viewing.
- The Menu is hidden but appears when you mouse-over the top menu bar.
- The Thumbnails load in the background and are hidden until you chose to view them with the mouse navigation or the text/icon link.
- All the features along the bottom navigation bar can be customized (insert your own labels, use icons, text or both).
- As with our other sites you have full control over the colors, fonts, logo, galleries, categories, pages, video, border widths, image size, number of images, number of galleries…
- *bonus: when clients head for the url box in their browser to visit another site the menu drops down for one last chance to check out more work*
I hope you enjoy our latest design. I think it’s fantastic.
Video On APF Websites
We didn’t just create some video feature as an afterthought we fully incorporated video into the design. In fact I’m so excited about how it turned out I think Directors of Photography and Video Artists will want use it for a portfolio. I don’t think there’s anything out there like it.
Here’s a brief overview of the features:
1. Videos are added in the admin just like photos.
2. All videos are stored in the video bank where each one can have a unique thumbnail.
3. Video categories and then galleries are created just like with photos.
4. As many videos as you like can be added to each gallery and deciding the order they play is as easy as drag and drop.
5. Supported video formats are mp4, m4v, mov and flv.
6. Videos in Design 2, 3 and 4 are capable of resizing to fit the browser window just like the images.
Ok, check it out for yourself on these sites already using video:
