Noodle Design was born out of a time of unemployment, following 9/11. One of the first web sites that was done under the Noodle name was Artistic Photography by Sara Adamski. Sara photographed my wedding and in 2004 when our baby was a couple of months old we contacted Sara about photos of our new family. We had made a web site about our pregnancy that then turned in to a web site about our baby, which I shared with Sara. When she learned that I designed web sites a wonderful trading relationship began. A web site for her, photos for us.
The web site we developed was true to coding and usability standards of 2004 and fortunately it was classic enough in design that it did not quickly become outdated.
Still, five years later technology had changed so dramatically that this classic web site needed an overhaul. Most notably today’s computer monitors are much larger and the resolutions higher, internet connections speedier. Wonderful news for a photographer who needs their photos to be large and beautiful.
Sara also likes to edit her site so the new site was built with simplicity in mind. All of the menus are straight html and embedded using PHP includes. Editing just one file will add a new page to the entire site.
The code is cleaner (validates as XHTML Strict) and search engine optimized. Will the site last her forever? Nope, because in a few years technology will have changed our web site standards again, but Sara’s site has what she needs to grow her business: big, beautiful photos.
Has it been several years since you had your site designed? If so then it’s time to invest some time in having a new site done. Noodle Design would love to help you. Contact us to find out how we can help you!
