And if you are up for a new look next month, next week, or tomorrow, it's just a click away.
You can also upload your own backgrounds, custom graphics, headers, create unlimited pages, and even control your own Search Engine Optimizing.
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
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.
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.

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 peoplefind it all very confusing. We've taken the guess work 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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
fp3 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
