Default Anyone use Photobiz?

I'd love to hear your experiences with it. Good or bad.
It would also be nice to see some real websites using them.

So if you're using Photobiz, speak up!


Thanks.

*cough*

raises hand

I have HTML, Flash, and an iPad/Android capable version too.


I couldn't be happier with photobiz.

OH, since buying the HTML version, I'm now on Page 2 of Google within just a few months.

Thanks.

Jared, I am seeing the flash version of your website. What determines which one you see?
Personally, I like to view HTML websites as they load faster, and bookmarking flash pages sucks.

Is it wise to only buy the HTML, or is there some reason flash is better?

I use photobiz.. great company, can't say enough about them. Their customer service is really excellent, and their support system for building the thing is great too with video tutorials and intuitive interfaces. I also find them to be great value once you've paid for the actual modules, the upkeep is negligible.. of course that's easy to say for me, not sure how the cost would be to you.

Their major module is the flash site with the mirror flash site as an add-on for $45 i think. When a viewer doesnt have flash installed, it defaults to the html version, though you can link the html as the main if you so choose, and they do have support for mobile devices.

They also have good systems in place for helping with SEO, and combined with google analytics its an informative package. Uploading and maintainence is a snap.

Yup ^^
The HTML is an add-on for an extra one-off fee.

Here's my HTML site.My site will redirect to the HTML if FlashPlayer isn't installed.

The HTML "mirror site" updates automatically when I update my Flash site.
That includes colour schemes and text/image content... it's all just dumped into a different template in my case.
The HTML looks different to the flash, because they haven't made an HTML version for my flash template.. so I just use a different template. *shrug*
I don't really care if they look different.

The "awesomest" thing?
You can change your template/colour scheme/content as often as you like.. you aren't stuck with one template.
