Given the state of the economy it seems like the appropriate time to explain why I think our websites are the best value you will find anywhere.

First off I want to reiterate how important it is that your potential clients can quickly and easily look at your images. That’s why they visit your website in the first place. Any portfolio website you buy absolutely must not hinder this process.

Ok, here’s the cost: $1000 to setup and $17/month for hosting, upgrades and maintenance. There is one discount available and that’s if you buy 2 sites the second is half off the setup fee. I know this is a fair price but I want make sure you know it too.

Here’s why this is an incredible value.

These are the basic features you will find on template websites and as you can see there’s no limitations really. There’s no hidden fees. You buy a site and do what you want with it as the design will physically allow.

Number of Portfolios: Unlimited (As many as you can fit on the menu)
Image Size: Unlimited (on Design 2 and 3)
Menu Pages: Unlimited (As many as you can fit on the menu)
External Links: Unlimited (Make all you want)
Pass Protected and Hidden Galleries: Unlimited (As many as you can fit on the menu)
Email Addresses: 100 (yes you can have 100 different email addresses @yoursite.com)
Website Traffic: Virtually Unlimited*
Email Storage Space: 7GB
Website Storage Space: Virtually Unlimited*
*99% of you will never hit the limit on this. If you did we would just figure out a way to work with you on it.

Now, not to sound like one of those crazed late night knife salesmen but that is not all you get.

You also get.

Visitor Stats: Signup for any web stats service you want (Google Analytics, Mint, SiteMeter) and we have a spot in the admin where you paste the code. Paste all three if you like.

FTP Access: You can store client files here or upload lightboxes.

Future Upgrades: All the sites receive upgrades when we make them like the ability to display video in December.

Switch Designs For Free: First switch is free next time it’s $100. We hope to have a new design every 3 months. That means after a year you will have 4 new designs to choose from.

HTML Mirror Site: Automatically created HTML site that mirrors whatever you’ve posted for easy reading by the google robots and clients with browsers from the 90’s

iPhone Site: Automatically created iPhone site that mirrors whatever you’ve posted for a slick presentation on an iPhone.

Free Blog Setup: We will load a wordpress blog on your url for free. We give you 13 themes to choose from but you can upload any you like using the ftp access. Same goes for all the plugins. No amount of SEO advice can compete with making blog posts about your photography on your own url.

Deep Linking with Clean URL’s: You shouldn’t even consider a flash site that doesn’t have deep linking to specific images because clients can’t send the boss a link to the perfect shot. Also, check out the urls to the different galleries and pictures on the sample sites. See how elegant and descriptive those are? Wouldn’t you rather send out an email with a link like that?

Email An Image Option: You can optionally turn on a feature that allows people to email an image straight out of your portfolio. Incredibly handy for sending the perfect shot to the boss.

Add A Custom SWF Opener: You can upload your own SWF opening graphic if you want.

There are plenty more little things that make these sites great not to mention the clean designs that clients love but I wanted to point out some of the features we have that no one else does because I feel like we give you more for your money. Oh, I almost forgot the most important part of what we offer. Fanatical customer service led by yours truly. Give us a try and you will see that for yourself.
