We are just beside ourselves about being featured in the Photo District News (PDN) article, “Creating Your Photography Brand” by Conor Risch. To be included in an article with the likes of Liska + Associates, a firm we have long admired, as well as brand consultant, Beth Taubner is quite an honor. You can read the article online here, or pick it up at your local newsstand. We talk about some of the challenges photographers face in trying to create their brand, as well as what can be involved. We were also able to talk about Photography BlogSites and the importance of your online brand presence. We hope this serves an inspiration to “get your brand on” in the new year!

Categories: Photography BlogsitesEarly in 2009, Marty Thornley and I sat down to discuss a more efficient way for photographers to display their work online. We had both, separately, been working with photographers, and discussed the idea of an all-in-one blogsite that looks and feels like a flash site, with all the SEO benefits of a WordPress Blog. We made our wish list; social media integration, customization, easy-to-use backend, unlimited galleries, integration of fantastic photography tools like ShootQ, etc, etc. After developing many, many custom blogsites, we saw our theories in action and set out to develop Photography Blogsites. Affordable, Easy-to-use, WordPress Portfolio Websites for Photographers.
We are proud to announce our first three themes in both blogsite and blog-only forms: Latte, Espresso and Cuppa Joe. Because we believe in our product so much, we offer a 7-day free trial. Take our sites for a spin. You can upload your work, writes some posts, link your Twitter and Facebook, and even seamlessly switch between all our themes.
We are offering an introductory lifetime membership for $499. That includes all our themes (now and forever), 4 GB of hosting on our screaming fast servers, our support, maintenance and much, much more. For a full list of features visit our features section.
We’d love to hear your thoughts as we will keep developing our sites to be the best they can be. As always, thank you so much for your support!
