How to setup a new website?

bikeboynate · Aug 27, 2011

I was just wondering how to setup a website and who to host it with. I'm looking to startup a business for photographing things such as Birthdays, Cotillions, and other Special events. Any and all input is appreciated!

Hire a pro to do it so your business looks professional, rather than like a beginner.

Around how much would you estimate that to cost?

Depends who you go to, doesn't it? $2000-$4000 would be a safe guess for for a complete branding package including website.

Why? Your flickr link shows absolutely no work with people.

BTW, this is interesting: Photos n' Stuff
"All photos reblogged on this page are not my photos. If you would like your work taken down please feel free to message me. Also, all photos posted by me are ©Nate Bernardo 2011."

So, you expect others to respect your copyright, but you feel it's fine to post other peoples' work? Like this one, clearly labeled "all rights reserved" Untitled | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Wait what? All the stuff on my Flickr is my work... that photo you links isn't mine and it's not in my photo stream. That Tumblr post is clearly linked back to the original poster of that photo on flickr!

Also, I don't post the work I do with people. I do work for my school newspaper and cover numerous sporting events, dances, and other special events going on around school.

Lastly, on my Tumblr, it CLEARLY states that photos REBLOGGED by me ARE NOT MINE. You quoted it yourself.

I try not to reblog any photos that don't have a direct link back to the original poster of the photo.

I suggest an alternate signature to replace the bolded one above. ""All photos reblogged on this page are NOT my photos. No matter what the artist wants, I am stealing his work and use his stuff and pretty much ignoring the artists' rights unless he/she catches up to me."

If you can't understand the ethical issues in what you are doing, I predict a crash and burn here.

And, as a complete bit of irony, bikeboynate, the OP, has disabled the saving of images from his own Flickr stream probably because he doesn't want people to steal his stuff.
