I have been a little tardy with the updates lately, so I missed the official re-launch of the Robert Wilson Photography website. I’m not a pro blogger, ok? That should be perfectly obvious by now. Anyway, head on over and take a gander at Wilson’s new site. Besides showing off more pictures, which is really the point of a photography website, some of the features I love the best:
- No splash page with that system detection stuff.
- No stealing my browser window.
- No Flash (I think my constant griping was probably a small push in this direction for Wilson)
- Best of all, lots of personalization and a human aspect that was missing from the last site. There’s some personal philosophy stuff, and obviously something dear to my heart, the site includes a new photography blog a la Wilson. Now that’s how you connect with your customers, you look involved, engaged, and approachable. Bravo, Wilson.
My other gripe that didn’t completely get addressed is the easy way to link to a picture bit that was completely missing from the last site. You can still get the URL for an image on the new site by right-clicking, which is good, but the links don’t look permanent. That’s not too terrible as long as they stay addressable for as long as they are for sale I guess.
Now off you go, click on his site and explore the crannies and admire the clean looks.
