On January 7th, Zenfolio released a very cool update, loaded with tons of new features (our favorite: the Theme Designer). We are really excited about the new updates at Zenfolio, and about this service in general. If you haven't tried Zenfolio yet, there is no better time.
Portfolio Home Page Layouts: You can now create portfolio Home pages with a large customizable slideshow and logo branding. Seven new Home page layouts
were added covering most configurations of portfolio-style sites.
Persistent Site Menus: No real web site can exist without a persistent site menu throughout
all pages to ensure a consistent and uniform browsing experience. You
can build your site menu any way you like and include links to any
gallery, collection or group, as well as to new built-in About,
Contact, and Search pages. Creating a site menu is available to all
Zenfolio subscribers including Basic, Unlimited, and Premium levels.
Theme Designer: The new release introduces the Zenfolio Theme Designer, a
groundbreaking new tool used to design and customize pages with a
highly intuitive and polished interface. The Theme Designer enables you
to have full control of the graphical elements on the pages along with
a professional color model-base which suggests colors that are
aesthetically designed to work together for a more attractive
presentation. With the Zenfolio Theme Designer, the complicated task of
editing CSS code has been replaced with a simple point and click tool.
Buttons, backgrounds, menu styles, thumbnails, and image treatments are
all available for customization to a discerning visual designer.
Customize Visitor View Mode Redesign: To accommodate new functionality for Visitor page customizations, the
Customize Visitor View mode has been redesigned making it more
intuitive and streamlined, at the same time expanding the range of
controls and options accessible through this mode.
New Full Screen Slideshow: With this release we are introducing a completely redesigned Flash-based Slideshow available from every thumbnail and photo
page.
Search Engine Optimizations (SEO): Included in the new release are SEO enhancements to all Zenfolio pages. You now get control of the search positioning with
access to webmaster tools from the top search engines, including Google, bing,
and Yahoo!
Edit View Updates: The Organizer was completely rewritten to make it faster and more robust. Content is now loaded dynamically resulting
in a more interactive experience.
.. plus so much more!
