Who did your web design?
I'm in the process of searching for a web designer for my photography business and it feels like I'm shooting in the dark...no pun intended! If you have a web site now, what would you do different if youhad to do it all over again? Thanks for your help! May 01 06 08:53 am Link I just started to build my own @ www.MsEmerald.com May 01 06 09:15 am Link My high school friend, Frances, helped me with my website. It's not a very complicated set up-- I like it. Her contact info is on my website, www.studiomona.com (webmaster link.) She lives in Sweden. We did all communications via email and she won't accept any payment from me. But she does offer discounts. just mention my name to her LOL.  Good luck!May 01 06 09:27 am Link Ember Harker at Creative Metaphor did mine. Actually she did the uploading and putting together of a template I picked up. You can see her work at www.crphotography.com and her link is in the privacy policy. May 01 06 09:32 am Link www.ddcwebdesign.com All I can say is she is fantastic to work with! May 01 06 09:34 am Link I did my own. [ http://andi.batcave.net ] In the spirit of putting my expensive college education to use, I also do sites for photographers, models, other creative types, and whoever asks.  May 01 06 09:42 am Link i did my own too... cause i'm a web designer  May 01 06 09:51 am Link May 01 06 09:52 am Link I built my own. I used to freelance but it always ended up being more stress than it was worth, regardless of how much I charged. These days, I send any requests over to my awesome designer friend, Fes. http://www.mojocreative.net May 01 06 02:58 pm Link Built my own http://www.capturecharacter.com May 01 06 03:02 pm Link Mine is being redesigned and rebuilt....... It was originally done by my assistant when I worked in ATL; now it's being done by a professional graphic-design team. It will be quite nice when it's done. We're supposed to go live this Wednesday- time will tell. And yes, I will be posting the link on my MM port..... Bill Ballard Blue Water Photography Savannah, GA [email protected] May 01 06 03:04 pm Link Did my own, also did some work for the server, now as soon as they get their act together it'll be up May 01 06 03:06 pm Link By now it sounds like a broke record...I did my own too...I do websites for other photographers as well, contact me if interested. htp://www.xposurephoto.com May 01 06 03:12 pm Link I did my own, but it's not been updated in quite awhile. You can see it here, but it's not much to look at -- it's become rather bloated from neglect. http://www.axolotyl-studios.com I'm also changing the name of my business to simply "Pat Thielen Photography" and I'll be building a new website to reflect that. One question I have: How difficult is it to create a site that has the uploading and resizing of images to galleries, like the way Model Mayhem works? I'd really like a site where I could delete old images and upload new ones without having to do all the work on my PC; MM has spoiled me. Do any of you know of any Dream Weaver plugins or templates that would do this? I'm guessing I'm asking way too much, though! -P- May 01 06 03:40 pm Link Somewhere in Time Studi wrote: Im a pro designer as well as a photographer, so i do my own and also offer the service to others at reasonable rates. May 01 06 04:17 pm Link http://undergroundcompanies.com Did my website http://www.dncpromotions.com and many others as you can see on his main site. He does hosting as well and friendly guy May 02 06 08:16 am Link I did my own with MS FrontPage. http://paulsportraits.com. It's not the fanciest but it has a lot of info on it and it's really fast, even for folks with dial-up. Paul May 02 06 08:31 am Link I don't have a modeling-related website of my own (yet), but I do my own web design: http://www.mokuzen.net/ It's what I do at my day job, but I'll do freelance, too, and my rates are totally reasonable. May 02 06 12:52 pm Link I also did my own - www.sleepyweasel.com May 02 06 01:42 pm Link www.foxy-ladys.com and http://foxyfans.com/ and http://www.tinaginger.com/ and http://jasmineraine.com/ I have more let me no May 02 06 02:03 pm Link I did my own, but my career is web site/application development (and has been since the year Microsoft launched their first web site). http://www.tallent.us/ Photography is the hobby that gets me away from programming, and, unlike 10 years ago. As a result, I don't particularly enjoy spending my free time piddling around on my own site, and I no longer do web design work on the side. I just keep it tidy, fast, and working well in both Firefox (my browser) and Internet Explorer (for less evolved Internet users). I also host my web site over my cable modem connection at home. It's not blazingly fast, but I don't have to synchronize files by FTP, and my photo gallery code pulls, resizes, and watermarks the photos *directly* from final JPEGs sitting in my Finished folders. May 02 06 08:51 pm Link Thanks to everyone!! All of these posts are really very helpfull! Looks like I have a bit of research to do now! Thanks again! May 02 06 08:55 pm Link I did my own using nothing but Photoshop and Media Lab's Sitegrinder which turns Photoshop layers into a website. Great program. www.photosbytravis.com May 02 06 08:55 pm Link I'm Blessed that my sweety of 7 yrs is my webdesigner (we reside together) and we worked endless hours building my UNIQUE website, so much a renowned NYC salon copied her format (i know coping is a form of flattery, but I don't think so). Her name is Brenda and her website is www.Mireku.com and I wouldn't change a thing about my site. I had LOTS of input, yes orange is my favorite color and Brenda (i know it's sounding bias) but she's the best webdesigner for ME b/c she's PROFESSIONAL, THOROUGH and AMAZINGLY CREATIVE and patient (you know how us artist can be at times)... Brenda is a student at AI (Art Institute of NYC) and she's receiving her degree in Interactive Media Design. She gives phone consultations and proposal, will tell you the best hosting server to use, she guides you through the new journey. She delivered my vision fully and for that, I'm so THANKFUL !!!! May 02 06 09:23 pm Link Dreamweaver. I spent a lot of time with the manual which sucks, but that's probably just me because I hate manuals. I learned more by working the program until I got it down, and it has everything I need to take my work to the web. Now all my webwork is my own. http:/www.girlfair.com May 02 06 09:32 pm Link did my own website. been doing them for sometime. www.legacys-photo.com i also did this mua's website. www.stefani-nicole.com May 03 06 09:05 pm Link if you want something A MAZING! check this guy out.. you wont be disappointed. hes doing my site. http://www.4tadesigns.com/ May 03 06 11:30 pm Link I do mine also, had to have something to do when I'm not taking photos LOL No flash, just simple html... http://philiptaylor.net May 04 06 11:44 am Link A friend did mine for me.......we used simpleviewer.....It's free and we really didn't do much to customize it........ http://emilebenjamin.com/ May 04 06 02:34 pm Link I did my own long ago, in notepad no less. May 04 06 04:09 pm Link I suppose I'm like most others posting here haha... did my own www.Adam-Evans.net Oct 18 06 06:29 pm Link Oct 18 06 06:35 pm Link King wrote: Me too. I did it professionally until I became ill. Now I do it as a hobby or as a fun thing to keep me occupied mentally. I'm designing the site I'm co-owner of with Safira Angel. I've done a ton of CSS styles (all the styles on www.frozen-o.com) and my husband not only is a lead developer/designer for a company IBM just purchased, but also is writing a book on advanced AJAX.
