Photography Website


The Little Guy

Recommended Posts

My sister is into photography, and is kinda doing it as a side business, so she asked me to builder her a site. The site isn't finished, but It has a full concept.

 

Things to note:

1. The images on the main page are not hers, they are just their for visuals and testing purposes.

2. "About" is the only page with content ATM.

 

If you have suggestions for pages I haven't done yet feel free to let me know!

 

And the website: http://ciaobellaphotography.us/

I still need a way for the images to cleanly display

 

There's really no simple answer to this.  So many factors, most of which are the source image.  If you could force a consistent image size, then you can set the container with background-size: cover which maintains aspect ratio on an image.

I still need a way for the images to cleanly display. IMO having the image centered like that isn't clean with something on the sides (if that makes sense).

 

Even if you just throw a no-repeat on the background images, you'll get the negative space you don't want on the sides with larger resolutions.  Not only that, but you'll still get image cropping at lower resolutions (even at a reasonable 1280).

 

Your best bet is to learn responsive design.  This is the best source I've found on the subject: http://www.abookapart.com/products/responsive-web-design/

It's coming along, surely.  Few new concerns.

 

Homepage:

[*]First thing I noticed was how long it took to load the homepage and all the effects.  Did 5 hard cache dumps and the load time averaged this:

[*]Also, clicking on the thumbs did nothing.

 

[*]"NetworkError: 500 Internal Server Error - [path_to]/media/images/creambg.jpg"

--You've actually removed that image, as indicated by the open directories...

 

Gallery:

[*]http://[path_to].us/%22http://[path_to].us/media/gallery/d86e2152b0ce7f1bc693fe91411f9c4c.jpg%22"

-- all of the images are finding failed requests, due to the uri path

 

Overall, the design is really nice and there are just a few tweaks to be made.

Hmm, looks like Netbeans deleted the images while downloading... They should be back now. If you mouse over the left in the gallery thumbs will come up. I removed clicking on the homepage images thumbs.

 

The home page doesn't load all 5 images either, it loads them when they are "on deck" (baseball term, I can't think of a better term)
