Welcome 2009…goodbye 2008
Wednesday, March 11th, 20092008 marked the launch of Picaholic 2nd Generation. We wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone for your support and feedback. Whilst we are in the midst of developing some new and exciting features, we are keen to share with you a few of the improvements that will be delivered in the next few months.
ADVANCED SERVER TECHNOLOGY
Your Picaholic site will soon reside on new hosting technology, enabling us to commission tens, hundreds or even thousands of servers simultaneously. In basic terms, we can scale up before the traffic does, and serve your site FAST.
FULL SCREEN IMAGE GALLERY
Display your images the way they should be viewed: FULL SCREEN. One of our coolest features to be deployed will support Full Screen viewing preserving the quality and emotion of the image. A little zoom tool will also be added for that extra detail – perfect for Fashion designers, Photographers and Artists.
FONT LIBRARY
Typography is the foundation of visual communication. Soon you will be able to choose from a list of pre-defined fonts, giving your site that extra finesse.
IPHONE & BLACKBERRY COMPATIBLE
With the popularity of people surfing the net using their handheld devices, your Picaholic site will automatically render and format your content to perfectly fit iPhone and Blackberry screen sizes.
CUSTOM PRELOADERS
When trying to wow your site visitors with full screen images, videos, and background music, file sizes are often larger than those used on a standard HTML sites. Consequently, load time could take a little longer as well. We are working on a small engine that will enable the use of custom pre-loaders.
REFERRAL REWARD PROGRAM
The success of Picaholic is really a tribute to all our members who have referred family and friends. We are now integrating a robust referral engine, that will enable us to track referrals and pay you promptly. For more information please send us an email to resellers@picaholic.com
