It’s fairly subtle, so you may not have noticed, but a new version of my website went live this evening. One of the primary reasons for the change was that the previous version was loading photos out of sync for some folks. It featured three windows on the front page, each loading a separate part of the total image. Unfortunately, it would sometime switch images in one or two panels before all three had loaded.
The new version rotates a single image instead of thirds, eliminating the out of sync problem. It also has the advantage of a “splash page,” with links to the website, this blog and the client proofing area. I think that will help clients find their images more easily and also make things simpler for new visitors. The biggest downside of the new site is the fact that I had to give up the slideshow feature in my portfolio galleries and it does require the latest version of Flash. Hopefully it will serve me well for a long time to come.
