Founded in 1989, P
eak Photo is the premier action and portrait photography company of the historic Alta Ski resort in Utah. Peak Photo sells compelling visual photographs to their clients and needed a web development company to deliver a modern web design layout which would do justice to the quality of their photography.
We built Peak Photo a custom eCommerce website featuring a state-of-the-art, visually captivating, parallax scrolling design. The website safely stores their copyrighted content, displaying watermarked, low-resolution photos to the public while effectively marketing to their customer-base, and facilitating sales. Peak Photo runs their entire business through the website, including image processing, payroll, online and in-house sales. In addition to photography sales, the website includes additional products like frames, mugs, and other resort-themed paraphernalia.
During the busy ski season, Peak Photo processes thousands of images per day. In order to keep up with the pace of their business, they needed a custom system with significant image processing power. A stand-alone template photo website would not suffice. We built a powerful system that enables Peak Photo to process, display, and sell over 10,000 images per day. In addition, the system archives and stores images with a redundant back-up system.
Beyond the main website, we also built an intranet website which allows Peak Photo to display hi-resolution images within their physical location. The intranet site enables Peak Photo to advertise their high-end images within their physical location while keeping them in a secure environment.
The Peak Photo system is a major component of their business, facilitating sales both online and in-house. We are delighted to have contributed to their sustained success as an elite on-mountain photography company.
