Irina Galkina - UK photographer's personal website

Small personal website created for UK photographer Irina Galkina. The main purpose of the website is to present photo portfolio in gallery-like way.

During designing and development of the website we used unpopular absolute positioning which is often used for flash websites and short promo pages. All website is designed with div markup style. The management system is developed in PHP and Zend framework with our inhouse Rapture extension. All javascript effects and AJAX features are implemented using Mootools library. Galleries are shown using slimbox - mootools toolset for galleries.

The administrative zone is designed to avoid additional actions. All sorting features are implemented using Mootools Sortables. Management pages use AJAX for server interaction. Implementation time is about 4 days.
