David Bullivanat - travel writer / photographer

Devon-based travel writer / photographer, David Bullivant recently commissioned us to build a completly new website for him based on his own design.

We had to work to the highest of standards when recreating his design as David has an almost obbseive attention to detail! Of course there were a few technical issues with his design such as it was too wide for a 1024x768 computer screen so we had to work together to get his design to fit within that minium width.

David originally thought of building the website in Flash but, as that is not an area in which we work, I explained the merits of accesible, css-based web design and that we could use Javascript to achieve his desired interface animation effects.

Davidbullivant.com is powerered by our new content management system, the logically named 'Phototropic Management System', which allows him to have full control over the content of his website. We modified the behaviour of the existing image gallery functionality to get the custom gallery effects that David wanted. Not only can David fully administer the images that appear in his collections, he can also add, remove and rename the galleries themselves. David is also making use of the content management systems' blog feautre.
