The former Flash galleries often contain valuable photographs and descriptions of the implementation. Modernization should restore comfortable viewing of the materials, preserving their context and tidying up the way further editing.
Collect material as good quality as possible
First, look for original photos, signatures and project information. A drop of an old presentation may help recreate the order, but it should not be the first source of the image if a photo file has been saved. Do not assume that each miniature is suitable for a large preview.
For a company from Krakow that modernizes the portfolio, it is important to describe actual implementations, without adding locations or ranges based on the image itself. Also check the possibility of re-use of materials.
Separate the archive from the current offer
Older implementation may remain a valuable element of the company's history, but it should have the right description. Do not present an outdated product as an available offer. Determine which materials remain in the portfolio that need to be completed and which serve only internal documentation.
For example, the gallery of the contractor may contain photographs of several stages of the same order. In the new page it is worth connecting them into one described implementation, instead of playing the accidental slide order from the old presentation.
Design a comfortable viewing
The list view should help identify the project and the preview lets you view the details and go back to the previous place. Descriptions must not disappear just because the user uses the phone instead of the mouse.
Check:
- the order of the photographs and the conformity of signatures;
- framing of miniatures and full picture;
- opening and closing the preview;
- keyboard and touch handling;
- behavior at slower loading;
- the link between implementation and the relevant service.
Prepare a simple edition of subsequent implementations
The new gallery should have an agreed content model: title, description, photos and possible categories. This way, adding materials will not require playing the entire animation.
We do not restore the old Flash plugin as a condition for viewing the portfolio. The context of the technology describes modernization of the Flash page, and the preparation of images — photos for websiteWhen changing the structure check also map of previous addresses.
