Hello Seoras,
Thanks for the links - are you an RPSmember by any chance? I recently rejoined after a long gap, intending to get my Associateship in the next year.
I particularly like this site, both layout and content http://www.simonnicholaswhite.com/ beautiful images.
Yes, this is a pretty simple site, and shouldn’t be any trouble at all
in Freeway. You’ll need some slideshow software; there are many free
offerings on the Web, I think there was actually a thread here
recently about just that, so it might pay you to search the forum for
it.
Come to think of it, you could do most of it in Freeway without any
additional software but I think to get the transitions from one
picture to another you might need a little free something or other.
Happy to be probed wrong though, if anyone knows different …
In the second post of this thread, seoras pointed at some websites he has build. The one you mention is in that list. I could be wrong, but I think it’s made with Freeway.
Just picked up on this. Yes the Simon Nicholas White website was done in Freeway 5.2. (I’m sure it could have been done with Express also) Lightroom and Slide Show Pro for the Gallery were also used.
His brief, as such was for a very simple and straight forward site, so just up my street. His previous site was actually very nice if a bit Times Roman but he wished a change.
I used SSP after much searching as a previous thread will testify. SNW was offered various options but went with SSP. With Lightroom this was an ideal solution for me as it can be updated easily and as I was supplied with circa 70 image files that were tif, jpeg and assorted sizes it was imported into lightroom and then neatly exported accordingly. Another gallery slideshow could easily be incorporated if you wished. I see Paul Bradforth uses the very nice and neat Monoslideshow http://www.monoslideshow.com/ on part of his site. This is a standalone or plugin for Lightroom program that is very reasonably priced.
Can I say that doing a ‘simple’ site can be as challenging to get it just right, besides I don’t have the skill for anything too complicated
