Lou and Elke Peterson were looking for a designer to help build a site to showcase their amazing photography.

Elke had a definite vision of what their site would look like and was more than happy to actively contribute her time and energy as needed to complete her vision.

When a thumbnail is selected, the viewer is taken to a page which loads the full size image. Each page within the gallery has it's own structure, separated from the rest of the site. Every photo is part of a manual slideshow that can be navigated from the top of each page and follows the same sequence as the thumbnail view.

All photos have the name in bold and location in regular text provided with an attractive font.

Security was also added to protect their photography. These features (right & below to left) are an asset, as their photography is their product, which had to be protected from unauthorized downloads.

To solve this security issue, two scripts were added. The first script (right) was written to disable a right click.

The second script (left) disables a feature in "Internet Explorer®" that pops up an image toolbar on almost any image a mouse rolls over.

Both scripts were able to remove the ability of printing and saving these works of art from the site's viewers. These scripts were tested and compatible with all major browsers.

Viewers looking to purchase their photos can go to their purchasing page (right), where a pricing table is provided. This table shows the price of each image, both by size and matted or framed.

Customers who choose to purchase their photos online can contact Lou or Elke by email and verify the availability of their selected photo. Their customers also have the convenience of online payment if they wish.

Lou and Elke actively travel to various shows year-round.

They felt it was important for their viewers to have a schedule easily available to them (left), as their main focus to reach customers is through their various showings.

Last, but definitely not least, is an elegantly designed "About Us" page, which really helps to complete their site.

As mentioned before, Elke was very happy to work on their site as much as she could. Their images were all scanned and compressed by Elke. Much of the sites layout was thought of and partially designed by her.

She really did a fabulous job in putting her ideas into the site. As a result, she came out with a site which they both are very happy with.

It was a pleasure to meet and work with Elke on their site. I was very impressed with her abilities to come up with a simple and elegant design that really compliments their photography.

Peterson Scenic Photography was referred to me by a posting from Wayne of Dreamquest Bengals. Thank you Wayne!
