Quite often we are asked to build websites with photo galleries for our clients. They want the ability for people to see their club or restaurant when there is a party going on, and to see what kinds of people generally show up. Photo Galleries are a fun way to showcase a club or restaurant in a casual and candid way. People who view the websites gallery are generally wanting to know what they should expect when they show up - what kinds of people come to the club and what they should wear. Is this an upscale club where I will be dancing all night or a place I can go to hang out at the bar and relax?

The biggest problem that comes up are the initial images that are sent to us to post onto the gallery from the client. These photos of parties and crowds are generally shot over the last few years and have collected on a main computer somewhere or on multiple CDs they have been keeping. The problem is that these images come in all different sizes and in all different formats and they are mixed-up horizontal and vertical images. Mixing up the horizontal and vertical images makes resizing using Photoshop Actions pretty much a pain.

When InnoShare started up we were a small web development company of 2 people offering content management systems to schools, providing them with the ability to update their websites. Finding that schools were very hard to get into - because of local government red tape, we focused our attention more toward night clubs and restaurants (and really any work we could find). One of our first jobs was with a restaurant called Twisted Taco, a startup Tex-Mex restaurant located at 66 12St SW Downtown. In the past six years, both of our companies have really flourished. We have received great recognition from the Twisted Taco website, and have helped Twisted Taco with anything they needed for their website through the years.

Now, InnoShare is a Full Service Web Company with 8 employees in 3 states and nearly 100 customers ranging from Non-Profit Organizations to Fortune 500 companies. Twisted Taco has done even better, their website combined with their e-mail newsletter has led them to the beginning steps of franchising. With the new franchising, Twisted Taco wanted to really show off what they have become over the past six years. The first step to make that happen was to rebuild their website - thankfully they came knocking on our door.

In doing some work for Kendall Riggins & Associates Northwest Arkansas Real Estate recently, I was disappointed to find that the site was built using tables. For me, the biggest issue was the fact that it is just a jumbled mess to look at. I decided that it would not be a major effort to keep the same design using divs and css, and it would certainly make things easier on me. The benefits of doing this were many including validation, ease of editing and last but not least file size. File size is always in the back of my mind when building or editing any web page but I never really considered why it is important for SEO.

Recently, we have started collaborating with another Atlanta technology startup called AccesStream, which produces Open Source, Identity and Access Management software. We're excited about this product as it should help us save a lot of time (a.k.a. money) in common tasks such as setting up new users, creating new hosting accounts, etc. Though the product won't be ready for us to use until close to the end of the year, we'll be among the first folks to get information about the product, so we're pretty stoked.
