New website

A website at a minimum is a brochure for a business and like a brochure needs to be updated regularly, at Digital Image we have just updated our site, new work, clients and services. Head over, have a look and let me know what you think.

The site has been planned by Wayne and Mark, with Mark doing the design and programming for the site and the majority of the imagery being mine.

For us the public side of the site is there to promote our services, though the behind the scenes gets far more traffic and use. We have set up secure upload and downloads areas for our clients and this service is invaluable being able to deliver design, video and photographic work through this interface. For our corporate clients to also upload material to us in a simple secure environment is also essential.

In the studio we all have dropbox accounts and use these to sync between our different machines, this system could work with our clients but for many of them in the corporate environment, in addition access to this type of service is restricted by their IT departments there is concern about the security of their data.

That said, the vast majority of our photographic work goes up onto our dedicated photographic site hosted by Photoshelter. We worked for a few ears with having images on our website in a gallery format, the restriction being the inability to search these images. For us Photoshelter is the ideal solution for delivery to our clients and our clients love it. In addition to our own site we have also set up two client dedicated sites one for Melbourne Water and another for Goodman Fielder. More on those another time.
