How can I edit the content? Images and text?

Nice work, I planned to purchased until I launched in IE6, it takes forever to render the page every time its requested and top navigation rollover does not work.

@Steve, I noticed the portrait problem during development but I couldn’t see an easy way of getting round it while also making landscape photos look good. 🙁

The titles/descriptions which slide up on each photo can be disabled – you can either choose not to include the HTML markup for them in the gallery page or you can change a single setting in the main JavaScript file which has the same effect.

Thanks for looking Steve! 🙂

This is really nice! As a photographer I can see how this would work well as a portfolio. However, two things to point out: it’s limitation to landscape/panorama as a portrait will either be too small or take up too much screen space/throw out the overall design and feel; and the ‘title’ bar that comes up for each picture – a nice feature but covers the very thing you want people to see.
I’ve not purchased this, only looked at it, so don’t know what programmability it has; so how easy is it to prevent the pictures from being covered by the title/description?

BTW, I’ve also been following some of your other work – outstanding!…and very helpful/useful!

Thanks

@Antoine, great! I’m glad you like it! 🙂 I’m like you, I can’t stand sites which don’t work without JS. So many people think it’s such a challenge to code a degradable site but if you just do it from the bottom-up (progressive enhancement) then it becomes incredibly simple!

Hey, awsome. I like the way it degrades when JavaScript is turned off.

I always have a look with JavaScript off when I see cool effects like the ones in your template. They rarely degrade well. Congrats!

I am learning jQuery these days, but the tutorials on the net rarely take into account that JavaScript is not always on…
