Hi Folks - just got back in the loop after realizing my photography venture was not moving forward without some honest help and advice. Problem: few bookings, website lost in the ether and probably never seen though live; refusing to pay 'we'll got on Google Page One' merchants any more ransom money and I suppose just general apathy about it.

Well can I say that my partner Barbara and I would love to hear from anyone, especially local (West Mids, Shrops, Staffs) to compare notes and develop some good contacts / friendships for future options. We still love our wedding photography but don't get many - event and portraits a very random experience for us .... lots more to say but looking forward to hearing from you..

Andy

Just had a quick look at your website. Your price list is dated 2008 and the copyright info 2007. Also, I found it very hard to read the titles of the links to following pages, even with my glasses on.

Maybe if you are quiet you could start by updating the website, then it would move higher up the rankings and look like you are still offering a photography service.

Its tough out there at the moment.

Thanks Michael for taking the time to message me. The reality of my website is that it is uneditable. I got it in 2007 from an aussie outfit but once I'd set it up I found out the route to getting inside and editing was closed. One attempt was made by a web designer, but it was costing me and he couldn't change things like the font size etc - hence the viewing problem you've mentioned. Today I've been looking at the Amazing Internet offer and it loks good - allowing me to do a big revamp and maybe compete again.

Keep in touch

Hi there Andy

I second the CLikpic option suggested by Martin.
Although it's cheap and cheerful - it will be a great option to start out with.

it's easy to use.

I have had mine about 3 years - however I have now opted for a newsite - should be going live shortly.

But Clikpic is a good starter

Hope that helps.

Have a look at my Clikpic site here : Cai Graham Photography : www.caigrahamphotography.co.uk
