Brian Smith Pictures Wins PDN Photography Website Design Award

Miami photographer Brian Smith wins PDN AwardI’m deeply honored to have won a PDN Annual Award for photography websites for the second time in three years. We’re extremely grateful for outstanding reception our newly re-designed or photography website has received.

In addition to PDN’s Award, briansmith.com landed accolades from the One Eyeland Awards. WordPress Showcase highlighted us on their showcase of WordPress-powered websites. We’re currently the second ranked website on their showcase, right behind Mr. Right Stuff Chuck Yeager’s official website.

It was a bit of a ballsy move to rip up a photography website that PDN honored in 2011 and start from scratch, but time marches on. Once we came to the realization that Apple would never support Flash, it was time to dump our old host. The goal was to give the entire site, including our blog, an integrated look that would look consistent across all platforms from desktop to iPhone.

Huge thanks to my great partners from Quadshot Software Solutions. Kudos to our project overlord Michael Cremean, Jennifer Precious Finch our Custom Style Savant and our website architect Chris Webb. You guys ROCK!

We scrapped our Flash photography website design and rebuilt using WordPress for a consistent look across all platforms including Flash-loathing iDevices – all without giving up the photo slideshows than many of you loved…
