LiveBooks, Inc. has announced it will begin providing two new website packages created specifically for the needs of wedding photographers. These new packages -- liveBooks Wedding Platinum and liveBooks Wedding Gold -- will enable wedding photographers to transform their websites into compelling multi-media presentations that capture the imagination and hearts of potential clients.

With liveBooks Wedding Platinum and Wedding Gold, photographers are empowered to create and control this experience in an easy-to-use environment. Both Wedding Platinum and Wedding Gold include custom design time with the liveBooks design team, the ability to upload slideshows, movies, and music, a selection of background graphics, an information request form, as well as the ability to link to third party services such as blogs and print fulfillment suppliers. The new packages also include the liveBooks editSuite, a revolutionary web-based editing software that gives photographers complete creative control over all the content on their website through a series of intuitive drag-and-drop interfaces. All these features combine to provide wedding photographers with a simple and intuitive way to take their web presence to the next level.

Included in both packages is the ability to deliver specific design input to the liveBooks design team as well as a design comp review on a temporary URL, and a final revision with the liveBooks design team. Through this process the design team works together with the photographer to create a professional design identity for the website that incorporates the clients existing graphic identity, or together they create something entirely new. The end result is a unique website for each client in a process that ensures the client is completely satisfied with their new site design before it goes live.

The ability to easily upload movies and choreographed slideshow presentations enables wedding photographers to transform a simple portfolio website into a compelling multi-media experience. Wedding photographers commonly create slideshows for their clients that they host on FTP sites but incorporating them into their site is a new way to enhance their online presence. Taking it one step further, the photographer can choose to upload movies introducing themselves and their philosophies giving them a way to personally connect to their clients prior to ever meeting in person or on the phone.

Used together, the slideshow and movie upload features empower photographers with the tools they need to capture the imagination and trust of potential clients before they even meet them.

These new features and the creative control of the editSuite, all synergistically combine to deliver both an incredible value, and the exceptional online experience that today's wedding photographers need to connect with their market and take their business to the next level.

liveBooks Wedding Platinum includes seven portfolios with an image size of 920 pixels wide with hide/reveal navigation. This package comes standard with five menu item pages and two additional menu items that can be used to link to external sites such as a blog and a print fulfillment provider as well as a selection of background graphics, an information request form and as described above the ability to upload movies, slideshows, and music.

liveBooks Wedding Gold includes three portfolios with an image size of 750 pixels wide along with persistent navigation. This package includes two menu item pages and one additional menu item that can be used to link to external sites as well as a selection of background graphics, an information request form and as described above the ability to upload movies, slideshows, and music.
