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!

Today I would like to congratulate all our readers on behalf of Templatesflow.com with the incoming of SPRING! It is wonderful season of the year, time for love and dreams realization.
Spring brings us light mood and turns our hopes for success into confidence. Web templates, exhibited at TemplatesFlow.com today, are filled with those spring tunes and many of them are devoted to themes that always excite ladies’ interest.
Luxury of Lingerie

I would call this full website template, devoted to lingerie, provocative. It provokes women to gasp for lingerie, and men feel hunger for those women. In other words, it provokes customers to buy your goods. As a result – everyone’s happy. Seductive website design, seductive lingerie, amazingly beautiful women – such full website design is the best foundation for your online lingerie business.
A Fancy of Fancy-work Fans

A friend of mine is crazy for embroidery. She creates amazing pictures, worthy of special exhibitions. I envy her sometimes. Though there are a certain number of things, I am familiar with, as well. I love knitting, sewing, macramé… It may sound strange, but many women today try to make themselves busy with such occupations.
So, why not create a special needlework blog, where we can discuss our hobbies? This Wordpress blog template allows you and your readers to post and comment, as well as receive interesting data on the desired topic through RSS feeds.
Personal Blog for Personalities

Website templates provided at TemplatesFlow usually contain a certain message in their design about the personality of their future owners. It is especially important if you are looking for a good blog template. Website design should not only match the content of your personal blog, but provide the blog readers with the idea of what kind of person the author is, not resorting to the help of words.
To the New Mr. and Mrs. Blogger

Another Wordpress theme, which always makes women’s hearts beat faster. This blog reflects the most sacred desire of many of us, the apogee of our dreams. Yes, that’s true, everyone of us wishes to become a Mrs. But it’s our nature, this is what we are created for. That is why we do our best to organize the most magnificent wedding ever.
This wedding blog template will serve a good frame for your wedding thoughts, emotions, stories, photos and memories. And later on, due to its sentimental website design and your experience, your wedding blog will become a good and helpful resource for those, who will decide to follow your steps.

I find this full web site template the most successful among the designs of this week. The combination of tasty colors – brown, red, beige and green- provoke salivation within the readers.
