New feature: Private galleries

Last Updated on Monday, 07 June 2010 09:43 Written by Gert Botha Monday, 07 June 2010 08:56

We have just added a new feature to our web site. We now provide private galleries to our clients for proofing purposes. The access page is available from the menu at the BOTTOM of each page by selecting the "Private galleries" item.

The private galleries will be accessed via a usercode that will be provided to the client which will unlock access to the private gallery. The private galleries will be hosted for a limited period (typically 6 months) as they can be quite big - often containing a 1000 photo's.

The pictures in the gallery are sized to 600x600 pixels. If you have a smaller screen , use the following method to ensure proper viewing:
  1. Change your browser to full screen
  2. Remove the toolbars
  3. Scroll down until you see the large picture
  4. Now you can navigate by clicking on the left or right of the picture (there will be arrows showing when you hover your mouse). You can also use the mouse wheel to scroll through the images.
If you have received a usercode, access your private gallery here.

Blogging in Joomla

Last Updated on Saturday, 17 April 2010 21:18 Written by Gert Botha Friday, 16 April 2010 14:12

We have decided to port our blog from Google's Blogger to part and parcel of our website. This has a number of advantages which includes:

  • Flexibility - I can change the look, feel and function myself
  • Integrated with our website, i.e. one place for client to visit and one place for us to work on
  • Integrated tracking and search capabilities, which means we can serve our clients better

Joomla is the perfect CMS (Content Management System) for this, and I think we managed fairly well with the blog as it stands at present. However, we will continually evolve and improve the blog to ensure you feel welcome!

Please feel free to leave us comments of how to improve or comments of appreciation!

Thanks

Gert
