With the new launch of the National photographer wedding elegance wedding photography service, which was launched on the 6th of January this year. We have seen a rise in people hitting the wedding photography website looking for wedding photographers.
The wedding photography site has seen a rise in the visitors over the week that it has been online and the duration of their stay be extended as we have planned the website to have a 3-way navigation system which offer the wedding photography hunters.
The new website uses a top navigation button system for the basic information that couples may want and then there is buzzwords that help clients find the information such as their wedding venues or certain posts that may have wedding photography or wedding albums contained within the site.
The wedding photography websites search function also allows users to ask questions which will guide them to the answer, and we will be working on this system to cover more content and questions that couples may want to ask the photographers here at national Photographer about their wedding and its photography.
Not only did we post up articles about wedding photography that we do, but we have also given background information into the photography, the styles and how we do some of the things that we do.
The site has averaged 511.37 hits per day over the last 8 days and we will be looking at some subtle changes to the sites content as we believe that there may be too much textual content on the pages. As you know we have wrote many articles about promotion wedding photography and designing wedding photography websites, so why don’t we do it ourselves? well that’s just one of those things that happens.
With the wedding photography site monitoring we can also see what clients are liking within the content and how this effects their use of the website and the contact which is being made. by the clients.
CEO of National Photographer Rory Witham Said ” It is nice to be able to see everything in detail about our users as often you just don’t get the feedback.. I believe that the wedding photography website provides information to the client in a number of ways so that they can have as much or as little detail as they want when on the site.”

Today sees the launch of the national photographer photography training website.
We have been looking at making the site workable from day one as the old website was 4 years old and out of date and a little older fashioned.
The new website was planned and announced about 7 months ago but work has been slow due to the other websites we have updated and work we have done. The new website is under development as we run through the layout of the website and also give user rights and format that’s simple.
The NEW Training website has videos and more online resources for members and clients from the training website. It is a work in progress as we add the content to the website over the next few weeks, it will be a little slow going at this time.

For those of you entering your details on the national photographer directory you may have found that you get no acknowledgement from the site to confirm your login details. This is quite simple, you didn’t read the post regarding the way in which you have to carry out the log in and enter your details.
The National Photographer UK photography database was hacked during the summer and we are about to renew the directory along with this website update. We are unsure if we will keep the details or start a new directory.
We do offer our apologies if you have to enter your details and sign up for a new secured directory but we want the website to be enjoyable and we lost the data as the providers we found out do not back up the data correctly. Now with GTWCMT’s help the systems are all backed up on a regular basis.
If you would like to go into the directory that’s currently online once again please contact us and we will send you the details that you will need to create the account and to add your details.
The online directory will be renewed over the next coming months as we go through the mountain of work that we need to do and are doing on the websites.
Is going on the National Photographer directory worth doing?
Yes, we have over 300,000 hits on the directory every quater, and it certainly puts your website in perspective, and the site grows and are page rank climbs so will your website. You can find out more on the links page in the photographer section.
Will the data entered now go onto the new directory?
Unless we keep the directory then the data will not be transferred, the problem came from a third party service provider that did not carry out the correct security measures on there hardware that lead to the security breach.
What did the hackers do?
They were white hat hackers and changed the coding of the directory to flash up messages and a link to their website. We tracked the Turkish person via our logging system. National photographer is often targeted by hackers especially during the school holidays. Within two days we had corrected the main damage to the site and enter some of the details back on the directory, but we haven’t touched it since then… something they didn’t know about our directory

The new site introduces more wedding photos and also album design previews to help clients see how their wedding photos may look inside one of our stunning wedding albums.
Currently there are 768 photos of weddings and wedding albums on the website for you to browse. However; due to the amount of information and photos from weddings we have, we have off set the posts which currently date back to nearly the end of Feb. You may not get to see all the photographs just yet but you may have to keep going back to the website for an update.
We have added more wedding albums which can be seen on the website, making the selection that more simple. But on a side note to the wedding albums, did you know that we never limited the album selection available for our clients, so you could have any wedding album in the world!
We have put back the slide show videos on the website allowing you to sit back and relax to watch full screen wedding videos and see the joyful wedding days of our clients. We hope they don’t make you cry as many of our wedding client have done so.
Just like the wedding slide shows, the slideshow have been stagered to post across the next few weeks.
The wedding photography website will give you lots of information on wedding venue reviews, as well as give you information on the photography and how us professional wedding photographers do are thing.

National Photographers Wedding photography website has been undergoing an update since the 5th of January this year with its all new layout and much more content.
For those who have been following our progress over the past 18 months would have seen the wedding photography website launched last at the end of 2009 as we took a break from wedding photography and moved on with our boudoir photography service. In between the website updates we have been blogging and doing a lot of R&D in photography websites to find the common ‘best practice’ for the websites by running around 30 different websites each with different content and ‘eye candy’ to find out what worked the best.
If you are a client looking for wedding photography, this post is not for you, this post is for photographers and those interested with our behind the closed doors work that we do.
To go to the wedding elegance wedding photography website click here.
The New wedding elegance ‘wedsite’ has been born from the research and development offering a range of choices for all users.
The top navagation leads the client through a fast track view of the site, services, gallery and packages. With teh current market, we have offered a range of packages to include the disc only wedding photography along with 3 other levels of services to cater for the more upmarket clients with the packages.
We have added more wedding albums for the client to select from and view on the website as it was always our policy to give the wedding photography client the full range of albums that they could select from.
Our next step on the wedding photography packages is to add a custom wedding photography package builder, this will allow for the client to select the package that they really want with the trimming that they want.
Currently the packages are below the average cost for a wedding photography package as this is a new website which we wish to grow trust within.
Some of the older website pages are still ranking high in the search engine results so some users may find themselves on the old website before moving to the new website.
Wedding site Navigation.
The Navagation of the site is tackled with in 3 ways:
The top menu buttons, the categories post links and the buzzwords.
The Buzz word Navagation allows the client to see a word or venue that will give them information on that subject via that posts which we have made. For example:
Kingscote barn wedding photography:
The client viewing the website can search for kingscote barn Click the Buzz word for Kingscote barn or look for the buzz word Barn weddings which would bring up all the barn weddings which have been posted. If a client was also looking for wedding venues, they could click the subject categories for wedding venues, and then look at the venues listed to make a short list for their wedding venue based on the images we have provided.
We also invite photographer who have been a regular at a venue to post a review so using the venue name and word review in the search will bring up the review for the venue.
Website images.
The website has a lot of images showing a real wedding and the posts now cover up until late February with around one post every two days. We have split the posts into parts if the wedding venue and reception is at different wedding venues.
We have made posts about the weddings as a whole and provided posts showing sample albums or /and slide show videos for each of the locations.
The website has currently 768 wedding photographs( including album preview) on the website, therefore the client viewing the website will have a fair idea of the photography and albums they could receive. There are also around 7 video slide shows also on the website, which may not have additional photographs from the wedding itself.
