I’ve Been Blogged By PhotoShelter

I’ve been a GraphPaperPress user for a couple of years now, and I recently started using PhotoShelter to organize my photo archives and manage client galleries. GraphPaperPress has the best website templates for visual artists, and I’ve discovered that PhotoShelter is one of the best photo management and sales tools for photographers. PhotoShelter offers great webinars to help photogs build their businesses and websites — and it seems like they’re always looking for ways to contribute to a photographer’s growth.

A little over a week ago, PhotoShelter and GraphPaperPress announced a new partnership that would allow GraphPaperPress users to integrate their sites with PhotoShelter.

The benefits of such a system are tremendous: Get the ease of publishing + the SEO juice of a blog combined with the e-commerce and high-res distribution capabilities of PhotoShelter.

As soon as news hit Twitter and my inbox, I used some time over the weekend to update my site with the new features. I changed from my old Modfolio GraphPaperPress theme to the new On Assignment theme (thanks to inspiration from Jack Gruber). Then I quickly worked to customize my PhotoShelter page so that there would be a seamless transition from my site/blog to my photo archives and client galleries. I’m moderately techy and was able to get the changes implemented quickly and working perfectly. But even if you don’t have a clue about HTML or stylesheets, PhotoShelter offers a step-by-step guide on how to set up your customized site.

I unveiled my new site one day after making all the upgrades. I was so happy with the new look and the new functionality that I sent a “Thank You” note to PhotoShelter. And then I got a “Thank You” note back from Allen Murabayashi, CEO of PhotoShelter — and was featured on the PhotoShelter blog. Check it out!
