SmallFolio is our mobile portfolio application. Small Folio detects and displays your site on mobile devices such as Apple’s iPad, iPhone, Android and Blackberry smartphones. It is available with all current BigFolio sites. It can be customized using it’s own simple web-based control panel.
SmallFolio requirements
Small Folio requires a BIG Folio site using version 3 of our control panel. This includes the following servers:
- Mattingly
- Puckett
- Gooden
- Dawson
- Sandberg
If the admin URL of where you edit your website looks like any of these: http://mattingly.bigfolio4.com http://puckett.bigfolio4.com http://gooden.bigfolio4.com http://dawson.bigfolio4.com http://sandberg.bigfolio4.com or http://ripken.bigfolio4.com then SmallFolio is compatible with your site.
I have an older website. How do I get SmallFolio?
SmallFolio is not compatible with older (pre-2008) versions of BIG Folio sites. With an upgrade, you can get all the new features of our sites plus Small Folio. Contact us for more information.
Where is my SmallFolio site located?
Your SmallFolio site is located on a subdomain of smallfolio.com. For example, if your domain is http://www.myphotography.com, your Small Folio site will be located at http://myphotography.smallfolio.com. If you would like a Cname setup for your smallfolio site please submit a support request.
Can I edit my SmallFolio site?
YES! Each Small Folio site will look and function great without any modifications. It will automatically sync with your Flash site’s pages, galleries, and videos. If you’d like to customize your Small Folio site further, a simple control panel allows you to edit your colors and other settings.
To edit your SmallFolio settings, navigate to the /dashboad page of your domain/URL (example: http://myphotography.smallfolio.com/dashboard). Sign-in with your BIG Folio control panel username/password.
Once signed in, you’ll see the status of your SmallFolio site. Edit the settings to change the title of your mobile site and set links to your Twitter and Facebook accounts.
By default, your Small Folio site on the iPad will display using a black theme with native menu styles. You can override these settings by setting colors or adding style blocks to your site. Style blocks allow you to customize your site without the need to know CSS or javascript. We will periodically add new style blocks and color options. If you have any requests please submit a support request.
