being added weekly). And for additional choices, we offer a powerful color picker (64
million colors) that can change almost any color of any element on your site. And if

Your Own Website
Address
Do you want to be SmithPhotos.com
or would you prefer SmithPhotos.ifp3.com?
The choice is yours. We automatically
set up SmithPhotos.ifp3.com
(or whatever name you wish to use)
within seconds of signing up for
your free trial. You can decide
later whether you want a domain
name without ifp3 in it and we
would be happy to hook it up for
you.
Example: www.EyeExpressionStock.com
Unlimited Storage
You can bulk upload over 1000 photos at a time with our PRO uploader and there's
no limit to the number of images you can store on our servers. If you want 20,000
images, 40,000 images, or more; feel free to upload them.
Unlimited Traffic -
well, almost...
An ifp3 subscription gives you 25 gigabytes of transfer per month which equates to
over 400,000 images viewed per month. We've never had a client go over the limit
yet, but if you want to be the first, we can create a custom plan just for you.
Show off LARGE images
The Large Image Viewer is designed to show off your images and give your customers more control over the interface. Below is a screenshot of a 1200 pixel sided image viewed on a 19" monitor at 1280 resolution. The drop down menu on the top right gives your customer choices as to what is viewable on the screen. There are many control that you manage from your administration area to fine tune just how the Large Image Viewer will look to your customers.

Watermark your Images
You
can easily apply a watermark to
your images with ifp3. We offer
five different watermark styles.
You set the color, the text, and
even the opacity. And, if you want
a change, you can adjust your watermark
settings and apply a new watermark
to all your images with a couple
of clicks. ifp3 offers the highest
level of image protection on the
internet. No one can right click
and save your images, and with a
watermark, they can't screen shot
them either.
Search Engine
Optimization
Anyone who's running a website
knows just how important Search
Engine Optimization (SEO) is to
the marketing of their website.
But on the other hand, many people
find it all very confusing. We've taken the guesswork out of optimizing your
website and images. Your ifp3 website comes with some very powerful tools for
optimizing your website's meta data, images, keywords, image captions, and image
file names.
New- The
Hottest new SEO for images.
ifp3's unique Image Search Engine Optimization (ISEO) feature
enables search engines to find and index all the images and associated keywords
within your ifp3 website (except images within private galleries). This means
that potential clients can find your images and website by searching
for an image on Google or Yahoo. ifp3 is the only
company to offer
any service like this.
Music
There is an optional player you can activate that enables you to upload up to three
MP3 files. Your music can play automatically or you can set it to manual so your
customers have the option to turn it on. You can also set your music to loop, or
play through all of your songs one by one.
Display Slideshows, Videos, and Documents
With ifp3 you can create links to your third party Flash® slideshows, your videos,
and documents you've created.
Linkable downloads for your clients,
such as model releases, pricing
sheets, and service overviews, provide
a powerful way to distribute important
documents. For the media savvy,
you can provide links to Flash®
slide shows you've created, video
clips in .mpeg, .mov, and .avi formats.
Just think of all the ways you can
enhance your website and streamline
your business with linkable files!
Galleries
Your website menu can be organized into folders and galleries for greater convenience
and usability for your customers. This is quite handy since your ifp3 website can
have an unlimited number of galleries.
Slide Show
Your
ifp3 website has an optional slide show feature that enables your customers to view
your galleries as a slide show. The slide show player has start and stop controls
plus 3 different speeds to choose from.
Your Own Search Feature
99% of all independent photography websites don't provide the ability for photo buyers
to search for images. Why? Because a search feature is typically too expensive and
complicated for the average photographer. This means a photo buyer needs the patience
to look through every image you have in order to find what they are looking for.
And most photo buyers won't have the patience.
ifp3 eliminates this problem completely. We include a keyword image search feature
on every site, enabling photo buyers to find what they are looking for in seconds.
Ease of use will keep them coming back for more.
Also,
every keyword you use for an image will become an active link on your site when displayed
beside the large view of your image. If a photo buyer sees a particular keyword you
used that may be more applicable to their search, they can click on that keyword
and a search will be automatically executed for the new keyword. This search feature
is identical to how the large stock houses do it, and it is an integral part of your
ifp3 website.
Sell Your Photos
Isn't it time clients can actually purchase images from your website? We think so,
and that is why we offer a full-featured integrated shopping cart (through PayPal)
that allows you to offer as many products (prints, downloads, posters, etc..) and
product types (4x6 Gloss, 5x7 Matte, 20x30 Gyclee, etc..) as you like. We've also
made this easy to implement, allowing you to apply one set of products and prices
to your entire site or a particular gallery. This is a perfect fit for stock photographers,
wedding/event photographers, and artists alike.
If you choose not to use a shopping cart, you can always turn on the "Get a
Quote" feature to allow clients to request the price for a particular image.
No Fees or Commissions on Sales
We are not a stock agency so we don't try to act like one. 100% of every sale
is yours. This is unlike many of our competitors who offer a low priced website but
take a piece of the action. Our intent is to enable you to create the highest quality
professional website possible which in turn will allow you to sell your images more
easily.
Create Public or Private Galleries - as
many as you like
We define a gallery as a collection
of images that you can show off
on your site. A gallery can have
1 or 10,000 images in it. You can
also make hundreds of galleries
if you like.
A private gallery is a collection
of images that is username and password
protected. If you shot a wedding,
an event, or a private shoot for
a client, you would likely want
to create a private gallery so no
one but your client could view these
images. The client could then collect
the best ones in their lightbox
and purchase the images from you
online through your website.
A Light Box for Every Client
Ok, so you have a client looking through a couple thousand of your images. What happens
if she actually finds a few she likes? Well in the case of your ifp3 site, all they
need to do is add them to their lightbox. Again this is a feature that 99% of all
independent photography websites don't have, yet 100% of the stock houses do.
What's another way you can use your lightbox? How about a photo buyer gives you a
call and wants to see a particular type of photo she knows you specialize in. You
can pre-fill a lightbox for this potential client and save her the trouble of finding
the images herself. You can then send her the username and password to access the
lightbox you have created so she may view your selections.
Mac Friendly
All features of your ifp3 website and administration area are cross browser and cross
operating system (OS) compatible. This means that our Mac clients have all the same
functionality as our PC clients and they can be assured that their site will show
up perfectly on a Mac, Linux/Unix and, a PC.
Everyone Gets Upgraded
When we make a change to the system everyone gets upgraded. If you think in terms
of software, you always have to pay for the upgrade - not with ifp3. When we add
a new feature (i.e. new zoom feature, new transition effects, or any enhanced modification
to the site) every site is affected by it. Of course you don't need to apply the
new feature if you don't wish to. The option is always yours.
Control Your Features Your Way
So maybe you don't want the search feature. Or perhaps you don't want to have comments
associated with images. Or heck, you don't even want to sell images, you just want
to show them off. Well, you have absolute control over turning on and off the many
features, so your site is displayed just the way you want.
Safe and Secure
Your images are safe from "right clicking" and downloading. People can
not just poach them off your site and use them without your consent.
As far as your site goes, ifp3 keeps your data and images highly secure (now for
the technical stuff) - your image files are kept on two separate san disk arrays
and your data is backed up 4 times daily. Our data center provides service redundancy
with eight tier 1 bandwidth providers so the connection to your website is never
dependent upon one carrier. The bottom line is that our servers experience over 99.9%
uptime per year.
Absolutely NO Setup Fees - and
hosting is included
There are no hidden costs with an ifp3 site. You pay one flat rate ($240/year or
$30/month) that covers your entire website needs. We also put no limits on the number
of images you put up into your site. And 99% of our customers will never hear from
us on their bandwidth use (see Unlimited
Traffic).
And...
- Update your website 24/7 from
anywhere in the world. All you
need is an internet connection
- No software downloads required!
