livebooks success stories

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

I chose liveBooks two-and-half years ago, and I haven’t looked back. As a photographer, my images are my calling card, and liveBooks realizes this. That’s why they’ve made their sites so photo-friendly, allowing us, the photographer, to have complete control over the images that appear on our site, and they’ve given us the ability to update and make changes to the images whenever and wherever. But this is only the tip of the iceberg – I’ve come to realize that my liveBooks website’s clean design allows my photos to do the talking. liveBooks maximizes the look and feel of a photographer’s site so that the images command all of the attention rather than letting distracting graphics get in the way of the photos. Add in liveBooks’ super friendly, prompt customer service, and I consider them a partner well worth doing business with for the foreseeable future.

Within a month of re-launching my site with liveBooks I had a big increase in traffic and print sales.

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.

One of the many things I love about liveBooks is the ability to create client login sites on the fly. I have received many compliments from clients telling me how personal and organized their experience has been.

I’ve used liveBooks for the past five years, and was one of their early clients. We recently collaborated on the site redesign, and I feel it is a real evolution both technically and aesthetically. The founders of liveBooks are also photographers, so they had a real appreciation for what I do. This made the whole process more rewarding for both of us, and resulted in a great website.

Over the past four years I have been diving deeper into the moving image and it has been essential to keep my business competitive. I am really excited that liveBooks, a site I’ve trusted with presenting my still photography for the past five years, is now joining forces with Vimeo, the only other company I trust to help me broadcast my films and videos in a professional community of like-minded creatives.

In the end, everything that I’m doing is about being able to communicate with an audience. Without this, all the people I’ve photographed, all their stories, it all just disappears. Scaler gives me the maximum impact that can be provided on the Web.

livebooks has always been a great showcase for the still image. I just used the same tools to create something that features my work as a Director/Photographer. The end result is a site where all of my work can feel at home.
