Oct. 28, 2003 Smugmug, the easy photo sharing
site with style, today introduced its “Elegant Small” gallery type to
become the only photo sharing site that automatically adjusts to fit
your monitor.
“Users love displaying big photos that let them see every eyelash,”
said Chris MacAskill, president of Smugmug, “which they cannot do on
most photo sharing sites. But they also want to share their photo
galleries with people who have older computers with small monitors and
they want them to have a great experience too. It’s now automatic.”
The Elegant Small gallery type fits 800×600 monitors perfectly without
scrolling and it loads fast, giving even modem-users a great viewing
experience. But users with faster connections and higher-resolution
monitors will automatically see a larger Elegant gallery type, which
is unique to Smugmug. It provides larger photos and a great browsing
experience with few clicks required to view an entire gallery.
Since the launch of the company earlier this year, subscribers have
already uploaded more than 1 million pictures. Its users range from a
leading presidential candidate to Peace Corps volunteers in Africa.
Disc jockeys, monks, pro photographers, adventurers, car restorers,
families, artists, businesses, government agencies, schools, and film
producers all depend on Smugmug for an easy sharing experience that
makes them look good no matter what computer their photos are viewed
on.
The Smugmug.com Photo Sharing Experience
Smugmug.com is an exciting and fast-growing new online photo
community. Unlike traditional photo sites that are focused on selling
prints and provide limited photo sharing, Smugmug’s center of gravity
is great sharing. Its photo galleries are free from ads, spam and
pop-ups. Users can customize their own look and navigation, and they
have options no print-focused sites offer, such as the ability to
download high-resolution photos for printing on their own printers.
