Image library software
When we wanted to put our own images online for sale, we hunted around the web for a solution. We even purchased an existing package and attempted to get it to work for us.
We soon realised that in order to retain control of our photo assets and to make the most of them, we needed a solution built for our needs. So we created AvidImages.com, which offers us the following key benefits:
- Designed specifically for optimum search engine performance
- Auto-generation of all required files from a single hi-res photo, including watermarked view image
- Clean and simple user interface, full css styling, excellent accessibility
- Multiple lightboxes for registered users
- Unlimited price band definitions for easy application to selected images
- Imports Photoshop image IPTC metadata for Title, Description and Keywords directly into the database
- Currently offers a PayPal transaction gateway and can be configured to any payment processor
- Monthly sales figures by author and registered site user, downloadable as a CSV spreadsheet file
- Easy administration processes: category creation, image management, images in multiple categories
- Built on an open source platform for customisation and enhancements to changing requirements
Then we figured that other photographers may also want our solution. If that's you, please call - or email - Jerry Lampson on 0114 2211 818 for an informal chat & to give you an idea of costs to create your own online image library or ecommerce stock photo library.
