We had some unexpected delays with the website new design.  No more excuses and the new design is almost ready now.  Rather than giving a hard deadline we are going to release it one of these days without much fanfare and see what you have to say.

If you are interested on seeing the beta version of the site/new design then let us know.

We have started working on improving the website ranking and would love to hear some ideas from people.  If we could really work with some photographers or complementary businesses that can use our services that would be great and can really bring in some leads to our business.  With the release of this website, marketing our services/products would be the primary focus for us.  Send us if you have any ideas or suggestions.

Happy Labor day.

Collagist new design is almost here.  Here is a preview of the new home page design for collagist:

Some highlights for the new design:

• New logo
• Better use of the header
• Improved menu with drop downs (concept borrowed from Flickr; code courtesy of Candes)
• Slideshow of collages/pictures
• Overall, nice look and feel
• All menu items in the footer; so that you can easily find information

Let us know what you like and not like of this new look!  Now, the question is when is this going to be live on the site?  Pretty soon, I would say.  Our goal is to have the site updated for 08/08/08 coinciding with Olympics and some marketing efforts related to our site.
Again, please write back and let us know what you think.

Olympics are coming up fast.  The opening ceremony is scheduled for 08-08-08.  One of the sponsors started a website/campaign called America’ s Cheer.  You can submit a photo or video cheer on this website.  If you are sending a photo cheer you post it on Flickr and if you are sending a video cheer, then you post it on YouTube.  The site is sponsored by Bank of America.  It is pretty neat and some of the cheers are very funny. One of our favorites is a Spartans video cheer on YouTube.

You can also see how many cheers submitted by state and the types of cheers submitted.  We should have some photo collage cheers submitted as well from Collagist!

Go Team USA.
