Exclamation I hate looking at y'alls websites... - 06-20-2009, 11:15 AM


... because they always make me so emotional!!!

Yes I'll admit it, I'm a man with emotions.... sue me! Call me a big ole girl... it wont be the first time I've heard it!

But looking at nicely done websites like Fran's, or Kevins just gets me every time. The fine quality images of weddings, babies, families, combined with the soft piano music, and everything else just yanks the emotion right out of me.

I hope that one day I'll be good enough to do the same to someone else. Y'alls work is truly exquisite, and well displayed on your websites!

Ya.. that's how I feel looking at some websites... I can't even start to name the ones that inspire me from around here for fear of leaving someone off the list and insulting them.

I can't say enough about portfoliositez - they have AWESOME customer service... and I love how easy it is to modify the site... it's awesome!

I highly recommend www.photobiz.com

Not only do they have a great interface and even a dummy like me can put together a site in 15 minutes, they will send me $20 if I refer you to them...

I don't think mine will cause you to tear-up. I purchased the template through flashpalette http://www.flashpalette.com/ but did the work myself. I get zero kickback for referrals.

Yup! Yours did it too!

Maybe its just the wedding stuff..... they are like always so final, yet they are just a beginning. Makes me think of moving away from my momma! (yes I am such a momma's boy.)

I'll check them out. So far I was going to go with eleven2.... I'll probably be setting SOMETHING up in the next few weeks. I'm tired of the limitations of flickr, and I can't stand photobucket, and if I'm going to pay for something, might as well be my own.

Hopefully mine just makes you smile? No weddings, newborns or anything like that - just goofy pups.

I used Creative Motion Design. Not cheap, but SUPER easy to work with.

Try being a pregnant woman looking through them. Tears flow at the drop of a hat these days, so I'm not even starting to look at them! :)
