After a very very long wait, I have finally posted my new website to the internet.  It is far from complete, but the version I just uploaded has enough functionality to give you an idea of the new layout and design.

Returning viewers will notice changes to the design of the navigation bar.  I’ve simplified it, removing cluttered links and making navigation much more straightforward.  Here’s a quick rundown of the new navigation menu: 

“About” links straight to my bio, through which you can find a link to my resume and my ethical statement.  I no longer have an equipment page or a FAQs page, but I think the information posted in my blog more than makes up for it.  After that is “My Blog” which you are now reading so I hope it needs no explaination.

Next comes my new and improved “Portfolios” now broken into two separate image galleries, each containing twenty-six of my favorite photos.  The first portfolio “The Living Planet” features my wildlife photographs, pictures of birds, mammals, herps, bugs, and other creatures, while the second “The Natural World” focuses on flora, landscapes, abstracts, and other nature subjects.  Right now, it is possible to view both portfolios and all of the thumbnail links making up the frame of images work, but the individual images appearing in the center of the thumbnail frame are not clickable.  Eventually, they will link to the purchase pages within the stock gallery, which is currently under construction.  If you wish to order a print at this time, simply email me directly.

After my portfolios is a section for “New Images” which is where I will post thumbnails of the most recently uploaded photographs on my website with direct links to their locations in the “Stock Gallery.”  The “Stock Gallery,” when complete, will feature hundreds of my nature and wildlife photographs in an easy to browse menu format.  Both of these features are still under construction and not currently active.  However you can view my stock lists online (the links to galleries do not work).

The “Purchase” button gives you an easy way to view your shopping cart as well as important information about buying prints or contacting me for rights to publish my photos.  Since the direct print order buttons and shopping cart are currently being worked on, simply email me if you wish to buy an image.  Next comes “Links” to other photographer websites, a feature I plan to eventually phase out when I begin to offer workshops and photo tours, but only after the rest of the site is up and running.  Last, but certainly not least, is the “Contact” page, where you can find my email address or subscribe to my online newsletter.

Please take some time to browse the new site and feel free to email me or comment with any feedback or suggestions, or to report a broken link or other problem.  As you can see, I have my work cut out for me.  Thanks for your patience and enjoy the new look of KariPost.com!
