Behindtheshutter.com WordPress Web Design Sneak Peek

Posted on January 22, 2014 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure is currently working on an all new Behind The Shutter website for Salvatore Cincotta. Behind the Shutter is a free online photography training and educational website and home of the free online Shutter Magazine. This will be the third version we have designed for them.  The new website will once again be built in WordPress, but this time with a custom responsive WordPress theme.

Responsive web design, a relatively new way to design websites, uses one website/content source but displays it differently depending on what type of device you are viewing the site from.  Therefore, no need for a second mobile friendly website. This is all done through cascading styling sheets (CSS).  Having a responsive site has also become an important ranking factor for SEO as Google, and other search engines, view it as being the best practice for an optimal viewing experience.

Below is a sneak peek of the new squeaky clean design.  Please check back soon for the official launch.

Website Redesign for St. Louis based Professional Photography Consultant & Educator

Posted on May 18, 2012 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure has been helping Salvatore Cincotta build his brands from the beginning, including his photography company, his album line, his editing company and his professional photography consulting/education business, Behind The Shutter – which brings us to the new redesign.  Behind the Shutter will soon be changing its content/format into a digital interactive magazine. It will feature videos, industry insider’s best kept secrets, exclusive interviews along with Sal’s expert business advise. Sections of the magazine will be free with signup while other sections will require a reasonably priced upgrade to view.

Using design elements taken from the new magazine layout, the new website will be built in a custom designed WordPress theme along with custom PHP coding to make the site easier to maintain.

Below is a sneak peek at the new home page design. Check back soon for the new website launch.
