The website’s main functionailty is has been created around the native image galleries, built into the core of WordPress. This made it straight forward for Alex to update and add new projects as time goes on.

The website uterlises a number of plugins including jQuery Lightbox For Native Galleries; which makes the native WordPress galleries use a lightbox script called ColorBox to display the fullsize images. It also uses the Search Unleashed plugin; which extends the standard WordPress search to include data from posts, pages, comments, and meta-data, as well as the full content of data inserted by plugins.

Alex currently works freelance so if you like what you see why not get in touch with him over on his website.
