Technology

• Themes

  Our themes are designed by some of the most incredible talent in the industry, with years of experience in finding the perfect way to present their work (and yours!) to the world. We use state of the art web technologies and techniques to make sure all of our themes will make your work shine; from mobile and tablet devices, laptops and desktops and anything else we can lay our hands on to test them with.

• Layouts

  Within each theme choose from a variety of layouts to fine-tune how your content is presented. From grids of small, medium or large thumbnails to stacks, magazine layouts, gallery slideshows and fullscreen options - find the perfect fit yourself. And the best news of all; you can change layouts from page to page too, so if one project looks better in one layout then go with it.

• Custom Domains

  Every Fabrik site has an onfabrik.com address that you can use but you're free to link your own domain name to your Fabrik site. We've made it easy for you to set up custom domains from the Fabrik dashboard and provide the support you need if things aren't so clear at the other end.

• Secure

  All sites encrypted with free SSL certificate making sure your site is secure and up to date with the latest security standards which will also aid your sites performance in search engine rankings.

• Portfolios

  With Fabrik your projects can be arranged into multiple portfolios. Create and manage portfolios in any way you see fit; by subject, by discipline, by date - whatever makes the most sense to you. Portfolios can even contain sub-folios, giving you complete control over where your projects appear on your site.

• Fully Hosted

  The days of dealing with your own hosting are well and truly over. Fabrik's hosting environment is properly next-level. Let us spend our time thinking about things like load-balancing, geo-locational efficiency, site-caching and scaling infrastructure. We have people here that enjoy that sort of thing, you just get on with making great work.

• Styles & Settings

  Choose the fonts and colours that best fit your style of work. Adjust your theme settings to control how your content and images are displayed; for example choose how many projects you want to display on a portfolio page, or whether or not to show blog articles on your homepage. Each and every Fabrik site becomes unique in just a few moments.

• Responsive Design

  Fabrik is designed to look great on any device. From mobile to desktop or even TV and billboards, our themes allow your work to shine whilst giving your audience the very best possible experience, however they view your website.

• Fullscreen Imagery

  Our themes take advantage of great design and technology to make sure your beautiful work isn't crushed into a little block on a page of little blocks. From theatre mode for video and lightboxes that rotate through your project images to fullscreen covers, we're adamant that your work should never be compromised in its presentation.

• Tagging

  Take advantage of tagging to give your projects and blog articles context. Tags enable your audience to focus and filter your content to get to what they want to see faster.

Media

• Automatic Image Handling

  No more messing around in Photoshop, just upload your work! Fabrik will automatically generate perfectly sized and optimised versions of your images to make sure they look great on your site regardless of what device or screen size your audience are using - from mobile through to HiDPI and Retina screens.

• Cropping

  Fabrik provides a number of cropping options to give you control over how your imagery is presented on your site. We believe in letting you decide how our themes work with your images for the best result. Of course, cropping is optional for those of you who prefer to present every glorious detail of your work.

• Cover Images

  If a picture can speak a thousand words then your cover image is pretty important. Our themes and layouts have options to display large, high-focus cover images for your projects and blog posts. If you're looking for an ultra-slick portfolio we can cover your video files with a clickable high-resolution cover image too.

• Add video from YouTube

  Adding video from YouTube couldn't be easier. Simply paste in the YouTube URL of your video and you're good to go. Even a cat can do it. Seriously, we did a test.

• Add video from Vimeo

  Vimeo is a great service and has a vibrant creative community. Say goodbye to complicated embed codes. All you need to add your Vimeo content is the video URL.

• CDN Media Storage

  Your media is served by an ultra-fast content delivery network from data centres distributed around the world. This means that your Fabrik site loads really, really fast - regardless of whether it is viewed out and about on a mobile or in an Photographer boardroom.

• Image Naming

  Add more to your images with titles and captions. Fabrik themes use image metadata in lightbox modes and certain layouts. This also means better SEO for your site and attribution for you.

  If you're using Dropbox to store your photography or design work then connect to Dropbox to simply import it into your Fabrik projects media.
