livebooks success stories

I chose a liveBooks Scaler website for the big images, ease of use and the integration with Vimeo. I also knew I could start with a predesigned website template and then customize it to make it my own. There are SO many decisions to be made concerning a website that it can become overwhelming to the point of not beginning at all. So to start with a well designed site that has had a lot of thought put into it and having the ability to personalize it to my taste and needs, made liveBooks an obvious choice for me.

The first response I get from people looking at the site is “love the big images”. Personally I love the intuitive navigation. It is important that you do not have to search around the perimeter of the page to figure out how to navigate the site. I specifically chose a template that had the navigation roughly where I wanted it – on the right side and at the bottom – and then made minor adjustments to make the site my own.

I love the collaboration with Vimeo. Being able to connect to a proven host where I already know the workflow has made integrating video into my site SO easy. And the viewer experience is awesome.

I try to be present in all of the obvious places and portals that art buyers will be looking. All of those places just redirect to my liveBooks website as it has a strong impact. It is important for buyers to instantly know what I do – and they can tell the moment they visit my site. My liveBooks website has made it easy for me to have a successful online presence that allows me to focus on creating new work.

Having a superior website with built-in SEO tools and round-the-clock customer service is critical to running a photography business in the 21st century. liveBooks offers a variety of site designs and design services, which allow your website to evolve with you. In the cut-throat business of commercial outdoor photography, having these items available as a professional looking turn-key solution gives you an edge. Professional presentation and ease-of use for first time viewers and potential clients helps you stand head and shoulders above your competition. The new Scaler sites enable you to bring even more punch to your presentation with full browser scaling images that will make any art director stand up and take notice of your finely attended to details.

I love liveBooks because I can easily manage my own content, their websites are scaleable and you can integrate many features into them. Zero down time is critical with potential clients viewing work around the globe. Past experiences with custom designed sites and large amounts of downtime forced me to see the light, and now I know to never look anywhere else again.

For photography, especially dynamic, element and detail driven work, having a Scaler site is invaluable. Art directors and CD’s want to see attention to detail that a full screen site brings, that smaller sites just can’t match. That’s the value add for WilzFoto. Going BIG…!

As a director and photographer, I needed a website that could host both video and print. liveBooks was the obvious choice. I’m constantly generating new work and it is important that I be able to manage my own content from wherever I am in the world. I also appreciate that liveBooks is constantly developing, upgrading and adapting new technologies to their website templates. And liveBooks is extremely user friendly. It allows me to keep my websites looking fresh and up to date. I especially love the new Scaler sites. In my business, so much of the bidding process happens digitally, so it’s important to have a strong website that is easy to navigate and makes a statement about my particular sensibilities.

I recently completed a multimedia public art project for the City of Culver City in which I had created a series of photographic diptychs and directed a film called “The Secret Life of Swimmers.” When I was asked by the City to create a dedicated website that could function as an online virtual gallery for the work, I went straight to liveBooks.

If you can think of it, they can implement it. I’ve been extremely happy with liveBooks.
