When we first started work on the Moombaki website, Tracy Graffin introduced us to the work of Rob Frith and the talented team at Acorn Photo.  And now I am very pleased to welcome Acorn on to the OM4 platform.

Rob had a very elegant design in place already, so our job was to faithfully recreate the look on WordPress. We agreed to tweak the gallery presentation a bit, using multiple rows of thumbnails below the primary image. This technique has proved very popular, as it makes it fast and easy for visitors to navigate a set of portfolio images.

Clean and simple photography website design

We’ve recently worked with designer Tracy Graffin (again) to launch the new Mark Greenland Photography website.

Mark’s photography is stunning, and Tracy has put together a design that is elegant in its simplicity. Don’t be fooled, achieving a simple and clean design is not as easy as it looks.

You can catch Mark at the upcoming Light Fantastic 2010 event, organised by Nick Melidonis and Dale Neill.

Layered Gallery Thumbnails

Layered Gallery Thumbnails

We’ve used a layered thumbnail technique to present the galleries for this website.  This required some modifications to our Simple Gallery plugin that we are using for a few photography projects. By displaying a thumbnail for each gallery image at the bottom of the image area it is very easy to navigate the gallery. Those who like using the next/previous approach (using buttons or keys) can still navigate that way, but overall we wanted to make it very easy to scan the gallery and access specific images.
