Creating a website
Picky photographer decides to do it himself
Picky photographer decides to do it himself
Well, after browsing around looking at template websites i decided nothing quite cut it for me and i started to create my own website from scratch..
Problem is a have absolutely no experiance in coding and after 4 horrible days of trying to understand HTML5 CSS3 and jQuery i accedently stumbled upon Adobe MUSE.
This became my salvation, as the interface strongly reminded me of programs I had previous knowledge of, as InDesign, Photoshop and AfterEffects.
Once the BETA program was downloaded the website took its current for in 2 short days, and I must say I am very happy with the results.
The HTML5 lets my clients view the webpage on their iPads/Pods/Phones and that was a goal i had very early on, (rather than using a flash-based website).
Especially important since I also feature films on the site and these need to be supported also on non-flash devices..
Here is some images from my struggle to get it right..
Font is a mix of Grotesque/Futura and plain old Arial and came out nice in the end, as I wanted a strong graphic look to on a clean non-disturbing background.

The portfolio uses a modified widget from Adobe MUSE, where I am especially proud over my way to arrange the forward/backward buttons to simulate a spread, making it easy to navigate even on an iPhone.
The structure of the site.
Films arranged in grid made simple through the guides similar to InDesign.
