Fotomat: The New Browser-Based Tool for Building Visual Websites
Fotomat is the new browser-based tool for building visual websites, built by the makers of Viewbook, a photo-sharing platform and portfolio website builder for professionals that was founded in 2009. With over a decade of experience in developing, tons of user feedback, and know-how of what works best and what does not work in the world of visual websites, the makers of Viewbook are back to gladly introduce to you: Fotomat.
Over the past years, the Fotomat team has worked with artists, art educators, and photo industry professionals as part of a publication and research program which explored current transformations and needs in the field of photography. During this process, it became apparent that there is a need for new and different ways to show image-based multimedia work on the internet, which formed the starting point for developing Fotomat. These observations and ideas have been applied to Fotomat and will benefit anyone looking to make a visual website, be it a simple portfolio or an immersive online exhibition.
Endless Possibilities
With Fotomat, you can playfully discover the best way to present photo and video projects online; your site takes on its own life. It starts one way, but much like a research project, it grows as you learn more and more about it. Fotomat encourages users to play and experiment to find what works. They believe it should be fun to build your website, not frustrating.
Fotomat’s harmonious integration of still and moving images is an industry first. Their users surprise us every day with the combinations they come up with. They mix different types of galleries with different media and text. Fotomat displays still and moving images harmoniously. Whether exhibited in groups or individually, artists of all disciplines are free to convey their intentions with any imagery.
Fotomat does not use templates. Applying a template to your site rarely looks right because it was not made for you. Fotomat is more flexible. Click some buttons. Play with the settings. Find your site.
