Buffalo2Step Photography
Launched: May 26, 2006
Here are some of the tools techniques used for the new site:
- Textpattern blog and CMS web-based site editor. Bill is already blogging!
- SlideshowPro for professional gallery presentation—much of the stock features, except the album selector was turned on by default and the gallery was resized. SSPAdmin (which has been surpassed by Director) was used to publish and edit the Flash gallery easily through a php/mysql web-based interface, much like Textpattern.
- Mint to follow visits and referrals, as well as search terms and trends.
- Fresh design by BA21—2 column layout, simple gradients and fades keep design fresh and focused on the text and photo content of the site. Let the colors of the photos speak over the dark grays of the gradient. This was a natural transition redesign from version 1 of the site.
