Most web site designs begin with "I would love my site to be like..." The result ends up with the web site having its own uniqueness and identity. No matter the business you are in , your web site represents your business with its own market branding and style. An unique web site stands out above the rest with 'individual character' and 'elegant style' - attracting your customers and your 'fan club'. This leads to a successful business and future opportunities.

I have over 20 years of business analysis, web site design/development experience and project management/leadership experience. Let me work with you to help you make your web site come to life!

Photography Web Sites - Smugmug Customization

Based on my research, I have found that successful photography web sites need a variety of functionality including slideshows, user-friendly navigation bars, easy to find galleries and pricing information. I offer smugmug customization to your existing smugmug web site to provide more enhanced features and functionality. My goal is to help you attract customers to your web site while saving you time and money.

I have been customizing smugmug web sites over the past two years and have customized over 100 different sites examples as examples of my customizations can be seen below. I am very proud that I have had the opportunity to work with several photographers on making their business a great success !

Features and functionality includes:

Your banner/logo image on every page

Navigation with drop-down menus – one or two clicks to photo galleries or content

Navigation bars with fancy flash technology and animation

Ability to sell images and do your own order fulfillment via paypal and your own shopping cart - examples include Moments Photography and Janet Masterson

Slideshows – varying throughout the site adapting to the subject, such as weddings or senior portraits

Fancy Flash Slideshow via Slideshow Pro with thumbnails; pictures are extracted from smugmug galleries which you maintain easily

Magic Boxes - random images from your galleries in your naviagation bar

Unique URLS and themes for your customers - example : http://www.ashleyandrick.com

Themes that can easily applied to galleries, categories and sub categories.

A good example of this is making a theme specific to a sports theme or school. The photographer can maintain their own 'theme/brand' and then have a separate 'theme' for a school, sports team or any subject they wish. A good example is : Ashley and Rick

Content such as price lists, about and contact information/guestbook which allows you the ability to maintain easily. This eliminates the need of another website (no need for to maintain two web sites as well as spending money on two web sites). This also makes it easier for present and future customers – one web site – simple as that.

This is a brand new gallery with no photos.
