My new photography homepage with a selection of my work is up and running.
You can view it using the following URL: http://www.reinholdstaden.com
It is based on a responsive (auto adjustments to mobile devices and desktops) WordPress theme, using a standalone WordPress system at my hosted server in Germany as my content management system. I included a newsletter tool and an online shop with a PayPal / credit card checkout.
Each section covers first samples of a specific area of my photography:
Galleries: 3 photos side by side
Land: Landscapes
Sea: Seascapes
Urban: Architecture and a bit of street photography (a may be)
Thing: Objects and other things
Story: Photos with a story (so far you will find the photos only)
Nordlicht: 5 FIRST samples of my Nordlicht series
Select: A special offer (valid 3 months)
Shop: My first and new online shop (order via Mail included)
Blog: A link to this blog
In many sections you can filter by color and mono. It is a lot of fun seeing all the photos rearrange. At least for me. 🙂
Now one important thing to mention… and then I will leave you alone.
I could spent another month adding and refining system and content. And I would wait forever to go live. I decided to make a cut here and to do the additions and content refinements in my “live” system. So what you see is a starting point only. As I said in my announcement: the real work starts after going live with my base system. If you find any problems, errors or things I should change… please let me know.
I hope you like it and I wish you a creative and awesome weekend.
Smiles.
Reinhold
PS: if you plan to develop your own site, I am willing to share the insights of my concept / tools. Just let me know by mail.

Nice! Good job!
Thanks, Laura. I think it’s a decent framework to start with. And it is my turf. No social media, portal or community involved. Just a hosting provider located in Germany. Greetings and smiles. Reinhold
No social media????????????? GASP! 😉
Upps. I meant no social media platform or any other platform or community as the turf for my homepage. Links to social media are planned. Sorry for the confusion. 🙂
Oh gotcha! I do the same as you although my site isn’t nearly as nice as yours. I’m not very good at designing these things, even with templates. http://www.lauramacky.com
Thanks, Laura. If you like I will summarize what I did for you. I think it is quiet easy to spec and setup a laurymacky.com 2.0! If you are interested lets continue via mail. Sounds like fun to me! Smiles. Reinhold
Lauramacky 2.0 would be fantastic! I’m at info@lauramacky.com. Thanks Reinhold. I am on and off the computer for the next couple days. We are having company but I will respond as soon as I can. I’d love it!
Sounds great. Take your time, Laura. 🙂 I will be here!
It looks great Reinhold .. How exciting!
It is. Yeah! My own homepage. Built by myself. I think it is a decent starting point. Glad you like it. 🙂 Reinhold
Well done!
Awesome Rheinhold and I like the title thing in the menu, gave me a laugh.
That was my intention, Karen. To create emotions. The world is crazy enough. Glad I made you smile. Thanks for your nice comment and for stopping by. All the best and a nice weekend. Reinhold
very nice!
How nice of you. Thanks for visiting and your encouraging comment.
I’ll try to keep an eye on it. Looks good so far. Nice and clean and uncluttered.
I am glad to know your eye is in the background, Sherry. I need all the help and support I can get. Especially professional help and advice like yours. Nice weekend. Reinhold
Gerade habe ich mir deine neue Seite angesehen, Reinhold, sämtliche Reiter aufgerufen, Bilder betrachtet etc.
Sehr schön übersichtlich (fürs Finden), thematisch gut unterteilt, klar abgegrenzt. Die Fotos – keine Überraschung, wenn man dich hier im Blog verfolgt – in jeder Rubrik einsame Spitze! Interessant sind auch deine Galerien. Und mir gefällt, dass auch dein Blog darüber direkt erreichbar ist.
Ich habe nichts zu mäkeln gefunden. ^^ Das wird wenn vermutlich eher etwas sein, was dir selbst jetzt beim Zustand “in Betrieb genommen” auffallen könnte.
Glückwunsch also zur gelungenen neuen Seite!
LG Michèle
Vielen Dank für Dein ausführliches und positives Feedback. Gut zu wissen, dass Du alles angeschaut hast. Hat Spaß gemacht die Seite zu bauen und das Beste: sie gehört mir, wird in Deutschland gehostet und bietet viel Potential für die Zukunft. Ich werde zukünftig bei Bedarf einen Link zu Neuerungen auf meiner HP in meinen Posts integrieren. Liebe Grüße nach Hamburg. Reinhold
congrats!
Thanks. Appreciate your comment.
I just took a little sneak but it looks really great Reinhold. I wish you good luck now 🙂
Thanks, Lena. Very nice of you to visit my new homepage. I think it’s a decent starting point for future work. Have a nice weekend. Reinhold
Absolutely, the same to you!
