Although this was initially quite basic, it saved us an enormous amount of time and allowed us focus on our content rather than wasting time preparing and processing photographs. </p> <p> Following our success, we continued to develop our image processor. We focused on improving image loading user experience by making our processed photos download as fast a possible, utilising a variety of compression techniques and minimizing the time to render by optimising image encoding. </p> <p> As a result, our photos were faster loading, visible sooner and all neatly resized to exactly fit our pages. What's more it took us a fraction of the time to prepare photos for our new content. </p> <p> We were so please with what we had produced, we gave it a name.<br/> And here it is... <b>Zara 4</b>. </p> <p> Zara 4 has since been further developed, introducing intelligent image compression techniques, automatic cropping options and a comprehensive REST API with OAuth authentication. </p> <hr class="dashed mt-30 mb-30" /> <h2>The Company</h2> <p> Zara 4 is owned and operated by Colin Stannard trading as Zara 4. </p> <h3 class="mt-20">Our Offices</h3> <blockquote class="mt-0 mb-0"> <b>Zara 4,</b> Cradducks Farm, Goudhurst Road, Staplehurst, Kent, TN12 0HQ, United Kingdom </blockquote> </div> </div> </div> <!-- Footer --> <div class="footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="text-center"> <ul class="list-inline"> <li><a href="https://zara4.com/about-us">About us</a></li> <li><a href="https://zara4.com/contact-us">Contact us</a></li> <li><a href="https://blog.zara4.com">Blog</a></li> <li><a href="https://zara4.com/pricing">Pricing</a></li> <li><a href="https://zara4.com/terms-of-use">Terms of use</a></li> <li><a href="https://zara4.com/privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="https://zara4.com/attributions">Attributions</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="container pt-5"> <div class="text-center copyright-notice"> © 2015 - 2024 <a href="/">Zara 4</a>, All Rights Reserved </div> </div> </div> </div> <script src="https://asset.zara4.com/js/dropzone.js"></script> <script src="https://asset.zara4.com/js/bootstrap-3.3.5.min.js"></script> <script src="/js/dependencies.min.js"></script> <script> $(function () { $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip() }); // Pretty print code highlighting !function ($) { $(function(){ window.prettyPrint && prettyPrint() }) }(window.jQuery); </script> <script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "WebSite", "name" : "Zara 4", "url" : "https://zara4.com" } </script> <script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context": "http://schema.org", "@type": "Organization", "url": "https://zara4.com", "logo": "https://zara4.com/img/icon-256x256.png", "sameAs" : [ "https://www.facebook.com/Zara-4-645511842258305", "https://plus.google.com/101336007646004602821", "https://github.com/zara-4" ] } </script> </body> </html>
