Welcome to our new-look website! It has taken a while to come about, and it is still something of a work in progress, but we are now up and running. A few more behind-the-scenes tweaks will be needed, but nevertheless we hope you find the new site already looking good and performing well.
Looking familiar
The basic navigation, and even layout are deliberately relatively similar to the previous website, thus (hopefully) helping those of you already familiar with the site to find your way around easily. The main navigation route, as before, is through the page-head navigation menu, though there are also plent of links on each page, including fixed links on the right of each page (when seen on a computer) to the courses, tours, gift vouchers and latest images sections.

Looking new
Those things that have been greatly improved include the following. There is better security, working mostly behind the scenes but made visible by the padlock icon visible in your browser next to the web address. The image galleries display with brighter, clearer photos. We now have booking forms back up and running, to make it quicker and easier for you to book course and tour places, as well as to buy gift vouchers (although at the time of writing, the actual online payment process is still be tested).
What’s more this new blog page is now integrated into the same Nigel Hicks Photography website, instead of being restricted to a linked, but separate site. Hopefully, this will result in better integration between the news, tips and instruction articles that will appear here and what’s happening on the rest of the website.
Site development
Progress with developing the new site has been very slow in recent months due to there being not enough hours in a day (sound familiar?). So it’s amazing what can be achieved with a lockdown and collapse of business in general, even if accompanied in our case by a good dose of Covid-19. All is back up and functioning properly now (and not just the website!), so things are moving ahead.

Exploring the site
Feel free to take a tour around the website. I hope you’ll enjoy the photo galleries, especially. As with the previous site, there are also, of course, sections on commercial photography, books, photography courses, photography tours, and Nigel’s products. Click on the links below to go straight to these.
If you find anything not working please let me know – nicely! I think we’ve checked everything over, but it’s possible something has been missed. The one remaining issue – online payments – should be up and running shortly.
