Construction Photography - Upgraded Site

Image management experts The Data Archive have completed an overhaul of the Construction Photography website.
The site now boasts a range of new features and the latest in customer enhancements.

After months of hard work in the development stages followed by rigorous testing and fine tuning, their new website is ready to give customers a better on-line shopping experience. Constructionphotography.com was taken down over the weekend of 29th and 30th March for the new website to be updated, and is now fully functional.

New features include: new lightbox 'drag and drop' functionality (pictured below), two-speed lightbox scrolling, hover-over image previews, RF CD Store, ‘My Past Searches’ feature, improved search functionality, new contributors’ information and a whole new look. The back end admin features a slick, fast and comprehensive workflow. “I wish I had access to these features when I was working at Getty Images” explained Owen Jones, Library Manager. “It is an incredibly powerful system which includes clever sales tools, real time customer sales management, customer relationship management, search logs, contact database, metadata workflow, keywording platform, photographers management, sales report and invoicing... well it does everything to enable us to grow faster and run the business in the most efficient way”.

"I am really pleased with our new website", enthused Jean-Francois Cardella, Managing Director of Construction Photography. "What pleases me more is the enhanced experience our customers can expect. We are a specialist library with a niche market yet we provide an industry-leading on-line experience combined with personable customer service. I am really delighted and excited by our cutting-edge product."

Also pleased to see launch day was Senior Developer Dafydd Owen, who has been working with his team on the new site for several months. "It's been hard work", gasped Dafydd, "but I hope users will see it was worth it. There were a few nerves on launch day - although you can do all the testing in the world there is nothing like 'going live'. It feels pretty good to see the finished article up and running and get highest ranking on Google just after a week launch! The phone hasn’t stop ringing last week with people wanted a demo which shows our new Digital Assets Management product has a bright future"

The software is developed and maintained by The Data Archive. For a demo Call on + 44 (0) 20 7 820 6201
