- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
Well, some will say that I am getting ahead of myself. But my clients seem to think this is overdue. I have decided to get a wesite up and running (sometime in the next few months), to help showcase my work, and to allow clients to view and order prints.
Luckily, I have a great local photo shop in town with amazing quality prints. Yes, they are a bit pricier than most, but not enough to go somewhere else and sacrifice quality. That being said, I will have a private viewing gallery (with passwords) for clients to order from, and I will handle the prints myself.
I am trying to decide exactly what I want on the site. I am hoping to get a bit of advice on the following pages...
Welcome Page
- no flash, just the business name, 5 pictures, and the side navigation buttons
A Bit About Me
- little blurb about me and my style, why I love photography, and what a client an expect from me
Your Investment
- this is where I will have my rates and packages. I will post those for review later
Galleries
- Love Is In The Air (weddings and engagement)
- Kiddos (children)
- Happy Faces (family & people)
- Special Places (nature & other misc stuff)
I am thinking about 20 photos in each gallery, at a max. What is standard? How often do people change their galleries?
Your Special Day
- private, password protected viewing galleries
- online ordering
- link to Paypal
I am assuming I should have the sizes ready for each shot (clickable) with the price. Do you give EVERY option? Just the most standard sizes, and to call or email for special order prints?
How long do people typically leave the galleries up for? I was thinking 4 weeks would give people plenty of timeto order, show firends etc etc.
Let's Chat
- contact info and email link
I did up a super quick idea of what I am thinking, and would love to get some feedback as well. Please note those are not the pictures I would be using, just the ones I found quickly.
Thanks for any feedback.
