Just finished moving from a basic WB install with included theme to a much more robust version. Would greatly appreciate your thoughts.

    Hi. I just spent several pleasant minutes perusing your site. I love the banners you have created - elegantly simple.

    It's a very gentle, soft-sell for your artwork, but that's ok. I think you've already noted a few technical glitches.

    Nicely done. Good luck with it.

    My only critique is that your 5x7 price is WAY too low. Is it even worth your while at the point? Your 8x10 is $19, so price your 5x7 at $12-$15. Make them justify the jump up to the 8x10.

    Thank you Snowgirl and John
    John - I chose prices based on the Fotomoto suggested guidelines for 'moderate' pricing. I just adjusted the price a bit. I have to admit that even with the prices as-is, I've only sold prints 11x14 and higher.
    Appreciate the thoughts.
    I have fixed most of the bugs at this point but now am just cleaning up some old blog posts to correct image sizing.

    It looks good. I like the colors you picked out. I think the prices are a bit low, but that's just me.

    Your site is very nicely designed and very easy to navigate. Having great pictures doesn't hurt either :)

    It doesn't seem that you site is hosted by SmugMug. Is it a custom site or was it done through another site similar to SmugMug.

    Thanks for the kind words!
    The site is done via Wordpress. I self-host it and use a theme called Dandelion by Pexeto.
    As much as I love Smugmug and use it (and trust it) with photos of my kids and travel shots, it doesn't work well for me as a blog-type site nor do I like the current FB/Twitter integration.

    Thanks for the info. I want to redo my own site and really like what you have done. One more question if you don't mind... how is the fotomoto intregration accomplished? Is that built-in to WordPress or does Fotomoto provide plug-in code?

    It's a very simple plugin for WP. Not built in but easily added when you have it set up.
    I say simple and easily in hindsight. It took me most of 3 days to get the site to where it is from the more simple blog structure I started with....
