Ackerman Gruber Images – Our New Home

February 14, 2010 |  by Tim Gruber  |  Featured, News  | 

Ackerman Gruber Images is the start of something new and exciting for Jenn and I.

There’s a level of excitement in starting something new. New expectations and new dreams.

In grad school, our friends called us the Grubermans (Gruber+Ackerman=Gruberman). Today, a few years out of grad school, we finally decided to take the plunge and do away with our individual sites and fully commit to going about this as a team. Much like going about it alone we will have our challenges, but are beyond excited to be forging ahead as one.

Mobile Friendly and Flash Free :: If you haven’t yet – feel free to take a peek at our new site. We’re pretty proud of the fact that the site is completely mobile friendly. In this new design, we tried to avoid using Flash at all costs. Did you know that 7 million iPhone and iTouch users tried to download Flash on their mobile devices? Crazy stuff.

Our photo galleries no longer use Flash so they’re easily viewable by all and each individual image can be shared with all your socially connected friends via email, Facebook Twitter.(Follow us here on Twitter if you’d like)  If you’re like Jenn and I, you view most of your video content on your phone so there’s also mobile-friendly versions of our videos. All and all we worked to build a site that is usable no matter how you find us.

Welcome to our new home.

ps: If you’re reading this by a RSS feed you might be shocked to see that timgruber.com and jennackerman.com are gone and the crazy new domain of www.ackermangruber.com has invaded your feed. Welcome to the new site and hopefully in time you’ll find it as useful as the old blog. Assuming of course you even found the old blog useful. :) Jenn and I migrated all our old posts for better or worse here so if you’re looking for any of our old posts you will find it here.

  1. looks great… congratulations on the merge! just out of curiosity, what program did you use for the portfolio galleries. it looks like flash with the fading, but i know it’s not. thanks in advance! -k

  2. Thanks Katie! Jenn and I were just on your blog last week. Great work! Seeing your post about your dog was very touching — so many great photos. Sorry about the loss.

    The galleries were built using a WordPress plugin called Galleria.

  3. really looks great guys. congrats!

  4. Just curious who designed your site? It has the same feel as some of the Visual Society, Graph Paper Press and Photoshelter sites that I have seen, and I really love it!

    It is so much more of a personal experience than a flash-based site. I’m building a new wedding website, and would love to have something that looks and works like this.

    Thanks!
