Lots of updating and housecleaning going on around here lately, the most fun being the launch of our new site here at www.chasejarvis.com.
As such, I wanted to invite you to poke around our new digs. Lots of new photos–twenty something new galleries, there’s finally a video page, and…well..a lot more. And we’re continuing to update and transform the site into a smooth machine over the coming week. That said, your feedback is incredibly valuable to us. We’re listening – so thanks in advance. We know there’s still a lot to work on, especially with the blog and the mobile version. (There’s still flash in there, but, we’re evolving and will continue to…). At any rate please hit up whatever needs addressing in the comments. Or if it’s time sensitive and something’s busted, ping @dartanyon.
Huge thanks to my crew for the hard work – especially amidst all the other work we are lucky enough to be buried in. And we’d be remiss to not thank the great team at Livebooks.com – Matt, Dale, Adam, and Jericho. Thanks a mil for the collaborative process in creating our new site.
I’ll be on the Twit.tv Photo show at 1:30PM today talking about the new site, and photography in general. Tune in.
And again, thank YOU for visiting.
I don’t know what resolution you uploaded the rotating photos on the homepage at but at my monitor’s 1920×1080 resolution they look really pixellated 🙁
i just like to see a little info in the pictures gallery. i.e. who what when and or where. something like that. just my 2 1/2 cents
As a photography lover, I have always admired your creativity and work. I have to admit, however, that when I first saw your new website on an iPhone and iPad that I had with me when I was on the road today, I was greatly disappointed how boring and colorless it looked…Those menu items are taking 1/3 of the screen and an eye-sore. I came home and took a look at the website again on my computer and that is what I would have expected from you. Great job on the computer but the site was, obviously not optimized for mobile world. We all know that the mobile world is what the future is and will be about and I’d leave it up to you to decide whether you’d optimize your site for them or not. I still love your work no matter what but just wanted let you know how I felt on the mobile side.
Looks pretty good.
One thing that I try to bring this up whenever I run into it, 5-8% of all men are colorblind (whether they know it or not). The most common form of colorblindness is red-green colorblindness. I’m among them. One thing that’s very frustrating is when a site has black (or very dark) text with undecorated red links sprinkled throughout. I, and other people I’ve asked with similar colorblindness, find it VERY hard to pick out these links because red doesn’t particularly stand out of dark text for us. There is a popular tech website I read for a long time before realizing that there were links in the articles because they were red and the rest of the text was black. I emailed them about it, got no response and have since stopped reading that site because the amount of effort it took to spot links in the articles made it frustrating. There are at least 3 other popular sites that I don’t follow for the same reason.
I usually read your site through the RSS feed, so this isn’t as big a problem, but it is something that you should be very aware of.
I just watched the show–and NOW I know where that big face at the end came from.
Congrats on the new look.
And Thanks Much for the interview. They’re always fresh and inspiring, especially for me personally Now, because I just left after two semesters of photography school. And Thanks for the tip about Squarespace.com. I might get into that.
Anyway, THANKS AGAIN, because without your head-up on facebook, I would not have known about the interview. It turned a drag of a day into something pretty damn exciting.
Cheers!
