...but it's here. Introducing the all-new Phototropic Productions website. The new site features a site-wide shopping basket, advanced ajax and php programming to improve user experience, galleries of our Photography and, for the first time ever, the Artwork of Phototropic Productions co-founder, Paul Vallack. And of course, this Notebook, which will enable two-way communication between us, customers and anyone else who happens to stumble across any of the articles.

We've also got two exciting new products to announce:

Swiftlet
Swiftlet is an amazing, and completely free tool that enables anyone to instantly send a webpage to a friend, right from your browser window. Read more in our Introducing Swiftlet notebook entry or visit Swiftlet now.

Platypus
Platypus is a web based tool designed to track time and generate invoices. Aimed at freelance web designer/service providers who need to time how long they spend on tasks and then generate an invoice based on rounded times. Read more in our Introducing Platypus notebook entry or visit Platypus.

The new website and products have been some time in the making. Both Swiftlet and Platypus have been used by us, and our friends and family, prior to their release. In fact, we wouldn't dream of releasing something that wasn't continually used and enjoyed by ourselves.

Incidentally some inspiration for this site came from the ever pioneering Shaun Inman.

We hope you enjoy the new site and please feel free to leave feedback using the comment facility below.

We create no-frills, usable websites. Accessibility and content reign supreme. Search engine optimization goes hand in hand with this philosophy and, as Jen Bryant discovered, a Phototropic Productions CSS website rebuild can get you to number 1 on Google. Learn More

By using a small High Definition video camera we can be very flexible as well as discrete. Virtues that many production companies loose in their efforts to 'appear professional' by using bigger cameras where they aren't always necessary. Learn More

Our background in fine art means we can take high quality photographs in a variety of situations. Whether you need some pictures on a white backgrounds of a product line-up or are after a family portrait, our photographs will leave a lasting impression.

As with websites, DVDs need to be accessible and usable. The creative freedom allowed by both can be easily over-used. We know where to stop and allow the content to do its work. Our DVD Authoring services can include any of the features the DVD format supports as well as high definition Blu-Ray encoding. Learn More
