Phil came to us because he is an avid railways enthusiast with over 10,000 images he wanted to share with others online. “Why have all these images if nobody ever sees them” he said.
Cataloguing this many images is no small feat both for Phil and from a website point of view. Luckily, we had already come across the ideal tool – Slideshow Pro Director, a web based Album/Gallery system. We worked on harnessing Slideshow Pro’s API to create a custom search facility, tag cloud and a method of displaying watermarked images directly from the software into the website. Protecting the images was very important for Phil. The website and galleries work well on devices like the iPad, something we are very concious of.
