iPhone Friendly Daniel James Photography

March 2nd, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized


So it’s been a while since our last post, what’s been going on?

Well photo shoots and website design as normal of course, but in the background we’ve been busy getting to grips with the new iPhone (new to the company anyway).

Anyway I got thinking about how many smart phones are out there and that our site isn’t really ‘phone friendly’ due to hover menus. Therefore we present…

http://mobile.danieljamesphotography.net

very much in its infancy this is set to make it easier to get in touch with us and to know where and when your photo shoot is.

Pages currently active:-

About Us – self explanatory

Bookings Calendar – tied to Google Calendar you will soon receive a unique shoot number when you book, this will be added to the Google Calendar event i.e. ‘4530 Photo Shoot’ so that you can check when your shoot is (date and time)

Shop Opening Times – self explanatory

Shop & Studio Locations – Google maps linked in to help you to find us

Blog – linked to this very blog, keep up on the latest developments and posts

(out of site in the image) Contact Details – All contact details including direct links to text, e-mail and call us

Those that frequent our main site will notice the lack of updates there, firstly apologies for this it is due to a busy workload and also the fact that a whole new Drupal based website is currently under construction which should finally give customers a place to interact with us (aside from phone/e-mail etc) and stay updated with the progress of their shoot (editing, website gallery link etc).

Although similar in appearance it should run quicker, be easier to navigate and a lot quicker for me to update.

No release date for this update is scheduled yet (some 50+ pages to re-write first)

Sunrise – Firefox Persona Theme

February 1st, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

Firefox is one of the biggest internet browsers. For those wanting to make it a truly personal browser you can add a plugin called ‘personas’. This will put an image over the top of the browser and the bottom status bar and is very easy to do.

We’ve created a persona for our readers from our photograph of a flower petal, called ‘Sunrise’.

You can get the ‘Sunrise’ persona from here

♫ Tis The Season For New Passports ♫

January 6th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

Happy New Year! whilst some are returning gloomily to work and school, many of you are looking forward to your next holiday. This may be coming up and you need to make sure that you have at least 6 months left on your passport (from the date you return)*.

Don’t panic if you need a passport photograph, come to us at 4 Chenevare Mews, Kinver where we’ll photograph, process and print it in 5 minutes (typically), using an online checking system to validate it.

“Surely it’s easier to pop to my local photo booth?”

It may well be but wouldn’t you rather a person talk to you rather than a machine automate orders at you? Wouldn’t you rather save 50p (on average compared to booths)? *our photos are just £3.50) and wouldn’t you rather get 7 prints rather than 4 (can be used for driving licence applications, disabled badges, bus passes and more)? (compared to booths)

Save yourself some money in the credit crunch and get your passport photographs taken by us!

We also print international visas and passport photographs, for further information please visit our main page here:- West Midlands Passport Photographs

* please check details as they vary per location
