Recap Optimizing Images for The Web

Last session we covered many aspects/techniques related to optimizing your images for the web.

Image Processing & Image Renaming Tricks

In class we discussed a few different solutions for streamlining a photographers batch processing needs.

Photography Site Building (CMS) Solutions

There was a time where a Photographer would build (or hire somebody to build) their website from scratch. Adding and removing content from these websites would require somebody to edit the HTML and upload the changes to a web server. Successful websites are no longer built like this... Content Management Systems (CMS) have redefined how the internet works. These tools are either hosted, or need to be installed on your webserver to run.

This week I introduced the class to the concept of Content Managed Solutions. We will be spending a lot of time looking at these options.

I have created a Site Building (CMS) Solutions reference page for you here.
