DESCRIPTION:
This is a professional service where you can host your photographs and artwork on a personal website for either public or private viewing. It is very easy to use and includes many powerful features....
WEBSITE:
You can either use just the photo gallery (see below) or you can develop an entire website too!
The site begins with an opening page that you can either keep or customize with pics, text, media, and more pages.
My own website is hosted here and designed in this way. E-mail me for a list of some other existing websites.
PHOTO GALLERY:
All of the picture displays and tools are automatically generated by this service.
You can easily click your way through not just the photos and folders ...
... but also a table-of-contents column that allows you to immediately jump to any folder on the site.
Each folder and photo highlights as you pass the mouse over it so you always know exactly where you are.
The colors and layout are customizable to your own personal preferences.
Blow up the pictures with the touch of one button, for much easier printing .
The system allows for automatic slideshow presentations at your choice of speeds.
You can add comments to either individual pictures or whole folders, thus labeling them with any additional details.
Placing photos online is easy. You can use CuteFTP or Fetch, but, if you prefer, no software is even necessary!
You can upload your photos from anybody's computer anywhere in the world .
But everything is still completely secure with your own private password access.
Detailed easy-to-follow instructions will be provided after you sign up.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
A two-person, Los Angeles-based tech support staff is always available 24/7 for your questions.
In fact, I make free housecalls in Southern California to give you one-on-one help with getting started .
The technology behind your website is extremely reliable and incredibly fast !
This system was originally designed for Location Scouts by a Location Scout...
... but it also works great for Film Commissions , Location Services , Art Directors , and Still Photographers ...
... and Casting Directors , Actors , Set or Costume Designers , Animal Trainers , and Storyboard Artists ...
... or anybody who has pictures and artwork to share! You can even use it for your family and vacation photos .
Lots more new features will be coming soon throughout 2007 and 2008, never at any additional cost to you!
DOMAIN NAMES:
Pretend that your name is Angus McDonald....
You can choose www.yourname.com or www.yourcompany.com , such as www.angusmcdonald.com.
Remember that it doesn't have to be yourname.com, but yourname.net and yourname.org are also possibilities.
You can get creative with custom names like www.angusphotography.com or www.mclocations.net.
The name must generally be available for registration, but we'll help you choose one that isn't taken already.
By the way, the name, address, and phone number for all website owners is normally public record (commonly referred to as a whois search), but, here, your private information is protected at all times.
FREE E-MAIL ADDRESS:
If you request it, you will also get a free e-mail address , such as angus@anguslocations.com.
The personal domains are more meaningful than corporate crap like aol.com, earthlink.net, and hotmail.com.
Your new e-mail address will show that you are a professional in the film industry .
The address is permanent . It won't change if you switch internet service providers, or if your ISP gets bought out.
You can either use personal e-mail software like Eudora Pro, Microsoft Outlook, and others....
... or, you can check the e-mail with its own web-based e-mail system (similar to those used by Yahoo! and Hotmail).
That means you can access your e-mail from anywhere in the world where there's an internet connection.
And that includes being able to check and send e-mail from your cell phone , as long as it's web-enabled.
The e-mail account is fully-functional , completely secure , and has no account size limitations .
If you prefer, though, you can instead choose to have the new e-mail simply forward to your existing account.
Also, additional e-mail addresses are always available after your account is running, never at any charge.
PRICING:
Not only are the prices extremely reasonable already, but remember that you can also sometimes get reimbursed by the production office through petty cash or your kit rental.
There is a one-time $100 set-up fee for an individual professional account that includes yourname.com. The cost for a production company / locations department website is a one-time $200 set-up fee.
Just as cell phone numbers are now portable between carriers, so are domain names. Thus, if you already own a domain name at another website service, we can do a domain transfer here for the same price. Also, the domain(s) always belong to you, meaning that you can always take it elsewhere later.
| SET-UP FEES |
Personal / Freelance or Sole-Proprietorship $100 flat |
Production Company or Locations Department $200 flat |
| MONTHLY FEES |
1½ Gigabytes (1,500 Megabytes, or 15,000 pictures) $25 /month |
3 Gigabytes (3,000 Megabytes, or 30,000 pictures) $50 /month |
6 Gigabytes (6,000 Megabytes, or 60,000 pictures) $100 /month |
The number of pictures referenced above is based on an average 100K per picture. Note that in both May 2006 and May 2007, these quotas were bumped up. Your service will only improve here! |
