All was rather simple.
One of our old partners is a professional photographer; he used to provide us with clipart for our web templates production. Once he asked whether we could create some wedding album design for him. Not just for him but for his clients – a newly married couple whose wedding he captured last weekendJ
He had already such a designer who provided him with photo album designs, but for some reasons (other state location, lots of work), he could not undertake that urgent project and create the album out of turn in a short period of time as it was requested by clients.
First, we were a little bit embarrassed, but then remembered that some of our team specialists previously dealt with graphic art design. That was great, as we wanted to help our dear partner in any case. He really deserved that.
So, to start with, Steve and I decided to learn more about all nuts and bolts of photo album design process. Surfing the web we tried to find answers on the following: what is a photo album proper? how it is created? what methods are used? how many companies are already engaged in this business and what are their main principles of work, etc.
Our marketing department worked really hard and provided us with all needed information. As a result, we managed to find out three main aspects that could help us to establish streamlined and client-friendly business based on photo albums production. 

First, there always was a necessity to provide clients with full range of services. In case of photographer, it is shooting, photos processing, photo album design and printing. It makes your company more attractive for clients.

Second, we need to improve the process of communication between all project members (the client, the photographer and the designer) by creating a perfect digital service. Everyone should mind his own work like the photographer should spend all time making his/her beautiful photos. Being a third party between the client and the designer is rather inefficient process. Therefore, we decided to save the photographer from such a non-core activities and carry out all his daily work with clients but reserving his right to control the whole process.

Third, we understood that clients require completely new design solutions. It was so amazingly to notice how web design and photo album design differ in its development and styles diversity.
Analyzing received information, we made the conclusion that most designers create albums basing on the requirements and wishes of the client – as it is the easiest way. However, it did the bad turn for them. Now market is overfull of design solutions made mostly by clients but not by professional designers. This has done incalculable harm to the artistic beauty and creativity of the design process proper.

As a result, we got interested in finding the way-out from this situation and organized new team involved in photo album design from the one hand and development of optimal communication service from the other. It put the beginning of “HundredPics” creation – a new digital service for professional photographers…

St. Patrick’s Day is coming and we would like to congratulate all lovers of beer, gold and green color with their professional holidayJ - that means to congratulate all of you and wish your St. Patrick’s Day be heaped with luck, laughter and fun!

Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated worldwide by the Irish people and increasingly by many of non-Irish descent. On this day, I guess, everybody tries to find his Irish origin and join the celebrations. We are not exceptions. Therefore, let us paint our towns green; drink beer with friends; crack jokes; gorp lip-smacking Irish delicacies; wear shamrocks on hats and gloves and shoulders; kiss the Blarney Stone (real, picture or virtual imageJ); join parades and jig with Irish bands; hunt for the Leprechaun and get your pot of gold; cry out “Erin go Bragh” and wish good luck to everybody you meet…

In other words, let’s speak, walk, behave, act, feel, think like Irishmen because everybody is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day.

 May your day be touched by a bit of Irish luck, brightened by a song in your heart and warmed by the smiles of people you love. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Among the huge variety of web site templates, offered today there is a separate group of designs, devoted to specific Internet themes.

It would be a mistake to suppose that Internet specialists, no matter in what field of web business they operate, rely only on their own staff in creating company websites. Of course, being in the know of the latest Internet technologies and web design trends, such companies require much more attention and careful work from website designers. Creating custom designs for Internet providers, web studios, SEO specialists, web hosting companies and other web professionals is usually a hard and tense process for both the designer and the customer.

To avoid this tiresome period, TemplatesFlow suggests such companies to look at the wide choice of website templates on Computer and Internet topics. Today many web teams prefer pre-made web design templates to construct a professional website, able to reflect all ideas, such companies intend to transmit to their potential customers. A big choice of web site templates makes it possible, which means that your Internet agency will soon experience success and devotion of your clients.

Below are some web design templates, I find interesting to implement in the promotion of your web business.

A Website Template for a Hosting Company

This web site template differs from designs, commonly used by hosting providers due to unexpectedly bright colors. Combination of red and orange shades create warm and summer atmosphere right from the start. These colors are full of energy, which is a message of high-speed and effective work. I always try to mark out extraordinary, unusual designs, as I do believe that unlikeness is the best way to be recognized.

Internet Provider Website Template

What attracted me here is an unusual decision to place the information on service packages right in the page header. What do I imagine while looking at this web site template? A happy mam, lying on a sofa, reading the list of services, offered by the Internet provider, and smiling. His smile makes me feel that he is happy with what he reads. Which makes me think I will be happy with this offer as well. A good NLP method.

Website Template for a SEO Company

Search Engine Optimisation is one of the most difficult parts of Web business. It requires much imagination and analytical skills. Templates, meant for SEO agencies should reflect the idea, that the company is the team of high-qualified professionals that prefer beautiful SEO strategies to cheap and doubtful tricks. That means that a web site template should be as selective with color palette and image row. White background here is an all-prize lottery. Clean and fresh hues of green and blue in modest proportions, and favorite with many SEO teams image of an arrow, pointing to the top – are proven elements of the company success.

Mail Services Flash template

Flash elements within web pages, devoted to mail services are used pretty seldom. But this web design template is a perfect example of harmony between Flash usage and good taste. Different shades of red and orange, as well as fire on the mailbox depict a notion HOT MAIL in the mind of a visitor. Hot in the meaning of fast delivered, fresh and live. Interactive features implemented in buttons of the main menu make traveling on this website particularly amazing.

Online business has become one of the most perspective and powerful ways to make money. Small business owners get more opportunities than ever: now one doesn’t depend on where his shop/cafe/club is situated, weather the neighbors will safe his day by buying something on the way home. Having your corporate website will enable you to attract customers, let them know who you are and what you sell. If you do it smartly, make your business website interesting and professional, your small business might grow up very fast!

You have just started your business, you have learnt a lot about the situation in the market, about which products or services are requested. And now you need strong advertising. Do you promote yourself in a local newspaper? Do you hand out flyers in the street? You might as well, but it will be much more effective when you get your personal business web site designed. You might have heard it was way too expensive to hire a web master. You still can’t afford much, since you have just started. You find a solution to this problem on  TemplatesFlow.

Following this link, you will find corporate website design templates, which are ready to be used. All you have to do is choose the one that suits your company offer. Loads of your time will be saved and time is money, as we all know, especially in this case!

All the templates on TemplatesFlow are created by a professional team of business web site designers. In order to make the content of a template accessible, not too complex and flexible, CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) language was used. CSS was created in order to make life for programmers and web-designers easier: your business web site can be easily redesigned, renewed or amplified, which obviously is a big advantage to your developing company.

Your personal business template has to be modern, comprehensive and accurate, with professionally done business web site design, otherwise potential customers might not get interested in your corporate website.

Website is expected to download quickly. In case it is too “heavy”and it opens up slowly, there is a big chance your visitor and a potential customer will click the return button. Not too many people surfing the Internet our days are very patient. CSS has reduced the document’s code content by separating content from presentation. For the same reason your website will be much easier to be found by key words in the Internet search: since HTML code is free of tables, fonts, styles and colors, it is much easier for search robots to find all your key words.

And last but not the least: business templates written with the help of CSS show as great quality on a computer screen as on mobile phone or pocket PC little screens avoiding and possible distortion.

Corporate website design templates, created with CSS will help you promote your business and find your place on an enormous market field called the Internet.

Certain period of time passed from the moment you purchased a blog template and wrote your first post. At that time you thought of it as of a fascinating hobby that captured all your attention every night. Today you’ve become pretty popular – you’ve got your hand in at writing articles able to attract people to your resource. Perhaps, time has come for your wordpress blog to earn money.

Actually, why not try to benefit from your resource? There are different ways to earn with the help of wordpress blogs.

1.      The easiest way to realize your idea is to place PPC (pay-per-click) ads within your blog template. Google AdSence program is what I’d recommend here: world’s most powerful search engine will be your advertising partner, offering you to earn, while your visitors enter the advertisers’ web sites, led by the links, placed in you blog template.

What I do like about it: Google lets you set its ads blocks even if your blog template was bought yesterday and you’ve just uploaded your first post. Of course, the more visitors come to you the more you earn.

What I’d recommend: mind Google correspond the theme of its ads to the topic of your blog.  Advertising of hypnotherapy classes does not look good surrounded by a blog template, devoted to football. Think, what kind of ads would look good within such surrounding:

2.      Taking part in different affiliate programs is another widespread method to get money online. Wordpress 2.2 blog templates give you opportunities to place advertising of different formats. A few modest but visible links offering products of the members of your affiliate program is a good way to have some constant income. Usually such programs do not bind you with strict requirements on what way you should attract visitors to the merchants’ websites. You receive some definite commission from the income of affiliates, so you are interested in your visitors not only to click an advertiser’s link but to purchase the offered product. That’s why it’s up to you whether you just insert a block of links into your wordpress blog template, write an advertising article or devote a whole section of your blog to the sold product.

What I’d recommend: Numerous affiliate directories can be found online – carefully choose the one you find suitable for your blog. Again the advertised product should refer to the same sphere, your wordpress blog is devoted to – this way you raise chances for the product to be bought by your readers.

3.      Earning by recommending certain products in the body of your posts is the most time-taking process. Though, if you like advertising, you may find it interesting to write separate articles, intended to compel visitors of your wordpress blog to buy the client’s product.

What I’d recommend: Such work is more attractive when the product is tested by yourself and you believe in what you write.

4.      Running a Wordpress blog is a good promotional method, when you have your own online business. In this case you play the role pf both the merchant and the publisher as you advertise you own product. For instance – being an independent informational resource Artwebus.com helps TemplatesFlow.com, the main company website, introduce its product (website templates) to the public.

What I do like about it: nobody knows your product better than you do. That’s why your articles will be able to convert your readers to your customers most effectively.

What I’d recommend: be closer to your clients and always remember that a new buyer is silver, but a patron is gold. Pay attention to your readers’ notes and questions and always remember that what seems nonsense to you may be of great importance to your visitor.
