livebooks success stories

We’ve been liveBooks customers for over 5 years. So when we started our re-branding project last year we knew we wanted stay with liveBooks for our main web presentation. Our friend J Sandifer and the entire liveBooks design team worked tirelessly (and patiently) with us and our brand designer, Melanie Halim, for several months while we perfected and incorporated the new brand design in our upgraded custom liveBooks website.
We love the flexibility the liveBooks editSuite gives us and how easy the editSuite is to use! That coupled with great customer service and tech support will keep us liveBooks clients for quite some time to come. Thanks liveBooks!

I chose liveBooks because their websites are easy for viewers to navigate and for the level of customization they offer. In the commercial photography industry it is important to stand out, especially when you are a small boutique style business in a secondary market such as we are. In order to draw in clients from various markets you must be unique and memorable. This is why branding is key. liveBooks worked with me to translate the identity of my business onto my custom website.

In my opinion a great business partner is accommodating, knowledgable and FAST. liveBooks is all of that. From design dilemmas to response times to general troubleshooting they have been stellar. I can always get in touch with a human if I have any questions or problems. They get the customer service concept.

As commercial photographers specializing in architectural, interior, hotel, and resort photography, we are excited to have a liveBooks website.  liveBooks offers more than just an online presence, as the portfolio is clean and website design is based around the imagery.  AC Photo uses our website to engage clients, show clients work that only they can access, and sell images.  liveBooks offers us the ability to dialogue with clients at the highest professional level.  The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a professional online identity.

I’ve been delighted with the end result of our site. My support specialist worked closely with me to create a distinctive look and feel for the site that matched my vision, and showcases our work. It wasn’t easy and we went through a series of revisions, but the end result was worth it. The team was responsive and we’re very happy with the results. I like the fact that it will be easy to update and expand the site in the future.

liveBooks enables me to efficiently and boldly show my work to clients in a manner that clearly demonstrates what I do, period.

A liveBooks custom website has provided me with an authentic representation of who I am as a photographer. It has given me the tools to help represent my vision of how I experience the world, and interprets the methodology of how I work as a photographer. In order to share this experience with a broader audience, I chose liveBooks to create my website based on the sole idea that they were more than capable of interpreting my concept into a website that reflects these ideas.
Once my website went live, the feedback that I received was incredible. After many tumultuous years in this business, experiencing all the changes since the 90’s, liveBooks has given me the second wind that I needed to help me get back on my feet and restore my confidence as a photographer. Since then I have revitalized a new business plan, seek out talent in areas where I am deficient, and learned to embrace the importance of collaboration, especially in this day age, as technology is constantly changing.

liveBooks is a powerful tool for me and my team. It not only allows me to easily update imagery, but it allows me the flexibilty to easily make design changes. I recently added a new stock inspiration site, a blog and a link to the videos of my photographers. I recognized that people were utilizing some parts of my site more than others and liveBooks helped me create a new landing page that gives equal space to all of the offerings on our site. Now people who prefer to read my blog or search my stock site no longer need to search for those links within the portfolio section. They can find them right up front.
liveBooks understands what photographers need in a website and how creatives search for photography and other content. They are great listeners and I am never disappointed with the outcome.

The synergy between the design of my liveBooks site and my photography adds up to more than the sum of the parts.

My website has always been my strongest marketing tool so when it came time for a redesign I needed to consider my options. I needed a site that I could manage. Making changes to my previous website was cumbersome, the user interface was not intuitive and every time I wanted to make a change to my site my web designer had to rebuild it. It was also lacking other things I needed like SEO, a client gallery and iPhone/iPad capabilities. After much research and consideration I chose liveBooks due to their longstanding great reputation for building excellent websites for photographers. liveBooks understood my needs, could expand upon them, had experience doing what I needed done and was reasonably priced for a custom designed website.

Although my liveBooks website has been live for less than a month, I am already seeing results. In that time the traffic to my site has nearly doubled. I have little doubt that my new liveBooks site will be the strongest business tool I have created to date. It is clean, clear, intuitive, beautiful, SEO strong and easy to update. I could go on and on and on and on… I am extremely pleased with the results and would recommend liveBooks without reservation. Time will tell its true impact on my business but I have little doubt it will be significant.
