I chose liveBooks for their beautiful design + exquisite functionality but what really blows me away is the constant evolution of the product. There are so many options for customizing your site. And Scaler is just amazing…it’s fun to see what they’ll come up with next. Plus they have the nicest + smartest tech support around. I love sending clients to my liveBooks site. Every cool new feature that they come up with ultimately benefits my clients. liveBooks has proven to be an awesome business partner.

Lisa Desimini: Author and illustrator

Posted by liveBooks

I wanted a new design for my website but I didn’t want to spend a lot of money and, most importantly, I wanted control. When I heard about liveBooks I knew it would be perfect for me. They have plenty of templates to choose from, it’s easy and fun to upload and move images around and the custom changes I requested were completed within 1-2 days. I was able to create a professional site with just enough personalization. One of the best features is Scaler, the ability for images to grow to fit large screens. It makes quite an impression.

Now, whenever I want to post a new image or make a refreshing change I can do it in a matter of minutes!

Lisa visits schools, libraries and universities to talk about her books and techniques.

I first read about liveBooks in a photography and design trade publication. After doing some research I chose liveBooks because it was well regarded, and provided clean design by and for professional artists. The many templates available for showcasing our portfolios of work were well organized and easily navigable. liveBooks has been an asset to our business, providing a great way for our current and future clients to work with us and see our work. Thanks to liveBooks for making it clean, creative and easy!

My husband, a designer and photographer, first read about liveBooks in a trade magazine.  We both chose liveBooks because it was so obviously designed by and for professional artists. Here is a web platform specifically created for showcasing a portfolio of work, where my art does not have to compete with superfluous design. I am proud of my online portfolio, and I’d like to thank liveBooks for making it clean, creative and easy!

If you want to get business as an illustrator and Flash animator, you have to have a powerful, easy-to-navigate portfolio that showcases static images as well as animations. I chose liveBooks to build my website because they understood my vital need to include motion and video, as the need for it grows ubiquitously across the Internet. I’m thrilled that they have partnered with Vimeo to provide pros like myself the ability to present this medium in an easy to manage way via their intuitive editSuite interface. Great job, liveBooks! I can always count on you guys to be one step ahead of the curve!

Getting a truly professional website up and running seemed very daunting and expensive, not to mention time consuming, until I discovered liveBooks. The usual templates offered by other companies are not at all set up for creative professionals and when I searched through all the templates offered by liveBooks I was impressed! Once I picked my design I went through the easy to follow tutorials and was able to set up my site very quickly. The support team answered my questions in a very timely manner. I am really amazed I was able to set up a shopping cart that linked to my PayPal account so easily. The best part is that I can update my site anytime I need to in a matter of minutes. I am very happy with my site and I hear nothing but good things from clients and colleagues.

Lovisa Oliv: Fashion illustration

Posted by liveBooks

My liveBooks website is beautiful… but the best thing about it is that it lets my illustrations be the main attraction. It’s elegant and clean and was easy to create. I’ve already had a lot of positive feedback, for both my illustrations and my website.
