1 Strike a pose

First you need to go through the sign-up process with FolioLink, which is quick and easy. To start creating a site you’ll need to choose from a tempting array of hue/layout combinations, and these can be changed at will, allowing you massive flexibility with the look of your site. Premium service users will be able to create a site using FLASH technology for an ultra-modern look and a professional feel.

2 Image organisation

Uploaded images are organised into specific portfolios, which can be repositioned within the site in any order that you feel appropriate. Advanced options allow you to change a portfolio’s look and add text to each image to give viewers more information on your shots. There’s even PayPal integration so that browsers can purchase prints from within the site, saving you from having to deal with payments separately.

3 Photo finishes

Photos can be sent as eCards, reassigned to different portfolios, given interesting transition effects in the FLASH designs and even assigned an MP3 sound. The size of each image can be adjusted through HTML to give the optimum effect. This really is a site that can be customised to suit your photography style and as such it looks much more professional for potential clients and buyers.
