If you don't know about LiveBooks, check them out (click here). They (in my opinion) are the absolute best in websites for photographers, videographers, agencies and artists in general. Each site is hand made to your style and they are always on the forefront in keeping up with the latest in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) needs. Don't listen to those other companies trying to offer "bigger" sites and "flashier" presentations. It don't matter if your site isn't seen in a search. Here is one of the best reasons I can think of to get your attention. Many sites you see with images sliding, popping, moving, dancing across the screen are made with a format called Flash. This is great, but in the world of internet and search-ability it is nothing but a blob. Web crawlers (like google) see a flash site and can't get in. They can't see how many photos you have, the kind of photos, keywords, metadata, etc. So therefore they move around it and leave. The heavy-hitters in the industry know this, they pay thousands of dollars for a company to design instead an html site (or do it themselves). This may have flash in it, but that is cool because there is all the meat and potatoes also in the html coding that allows the crawlers to categorize and eat up. The more threads for the google monster to look at the better.
What Livebooks does is allow for you to view the best of both worlds. It has a flash site for people to see, but behind it is an html site that is able to be categorized, logged, eaten by the google monster and other crawlers. I am not saying that all flash sites don't have a chance of showing at the top of a search result, but it is more likely the html sites will first. Or they flash guys are paying tons of money for this to happen. In the long run, the money you spend on a LiveBooks site WILL pay off.
Oh, and another thing. Flash sites don't work well on iPhones and other devices. If someone types my website on an iPhone, they are automatically directed to the html version to be seen. This makes a difference when sending your emails to agency leaders that are most likely on the road, busy or doing their surfing while in a slow time on their phone.
So now, here's the deal. Among other deals, LiveBooks is offering a $200 cash back for all new sites generated from referrals from current site owners. This is cool, but what does it mean for you? I am a big supporter of the WIN/WIN situation. I am not greedy or sleezy. I think that the more people that sign up to LiveBooks the better they will become. So I will make a deal. For every person that signs up for a SELECT or UNLIMITED site and uses MY NAME as a referral, when I receive my check for $200, I will mail you a check for $100. How's that sound?
So if you purchase a $1,700 select site (and referr my name), you will get $100 back. That is just over 5% back. or your first year of hosting for free.
Another killer deal is they allow for financing. Ask for more info.
Here is a link to more deals they are giving.
