Re-Launch of Keystone.ch on May 23, 2012
Next Wednesday, May 23, the Keystone photo agency will launch its new website. In developing the Keystone database, the focus was on functionality, simplicity, and clarity.
From the customer's point of view, response time plays a central role in image search. That's why the speed and convenience of the search engine have been advanced and optimized, Keystone said in a statement Monday. The innovations include the search within the search result (faceting) and the delimitation of individual search areas (archives, sports, stories). A new feature for media customers is the daily program, which enables differentiated planning of news events. Other innovations, which are intended to serve as a planning tool for customers, are the outlook program with references to upcoming events and the archive calendar with dates for anniversaries, anniversaries of deaths or other historical events.
The user interface (Firefox, Safari, IE) should be self-explanatory and focus on quickly finding the images you are looking for. At the same time, thematically related images are displayed by showing similar image selections. The view images can be clicked through in sequence, and an image selection can be viewed as a slideshow.
