Website Template Research


Front Page Layout












I have researched these three templates as I like the style of the bar going down the left side of the page. I like how the bar is see-through as this allows you to see the full background image with little distraction





With this template I like the simple menu layout at the top of the picture. I would not have the images in the middle of the screen but have it clear and only show one of my images as the background image.


Gallery Page Layout

With this template I like the layout of the images in the four bars. It is a quick way to show a couple of images from each album/gallery. Also the design is quite plain and simple which is what I like.





With this template I like the bar at the bottom showing images in the album/gallery. It is quite a popular style to go for as when I have been looking around that style of website is used quite a lot. 






With this template I like the mixture of the images in the grid style. It shows a sneak peak of the images that are contained in that album.


Below I have researched a couple of themes off of the popular theme website, Theme Forest. The themes below are the style of themes I will be looking for when choosing them on Wordpress or Wix.

Sport Photographers Websites




Stuart Roy Clarke - http://homesoffootball.co.uk/
















In the above images I have chosen 4 sport photographers and have looked at there websites. What I have noticed is that they are very similar in style. They all have just a menu bar and then either having one image shown as their background or a few sliding across in the background. I have based my website style on these 4 websites as I think they are very simple but professional looking websites.
