FotoHost.by - reliable photo hosting, a modern solution

Type of work: Photo hosting website

A simple and light design for a photo hosting website. Everything is simple and easy!

FotoHost.by is a photo hosting service: a place where people can upload their photographs, store them safely and share them through a link. The service answers a simple question that many people ask - where to store photos so that they are not lost when a phone breaks and so that they can be shown to friends without sending dozens of heavy files. Users of a photo hosting service range from casual users with holiday pictures to bloggers and forum members who need to insert images into their posts, and all of them want the same thing: to upload quickly and get a working link.

We created a simple and light design for the service, and the principle behind it fits in a few words: everything is simple and easy. For a photo hosting site this is exactly right. The upload form is the heart of the service and has to be impossible to miss; the photographs themselves are the content, so the design around them stays light and does not compete with the images; and the explanation of how the service works, how safe the storage is and what the user gets after uploading has to be short enough to read in a few seconds. A light background also shows photographs in their true colours.

The search phrases the site was built for - photographs, photos, photo hosting, where to store photos, platform for photos, simple solutions for photo hosting - describe people looking for a reliable and uncomplicated tool, and a simple design is the clearest promise that the tool will be easy to use.
