So I guess the April Fools joke was on me! I design and code my own sites (been doing it for over 15 years now) and I neglected to check it out on a PC before launching the CLICKseniors.com start site (that's such a rookie mistake).
It seems that I had a little glitch in part of my code that made it display a bit whacky on the PC, it was fine on a MAC (why does that not surprise me). Anyway it's all good now after editing 90 pages of html.
That got me thinking. I spend a ton of time creating one of a kind stuff. Do people even notice or care? Should I just sign up for one of the GENERIC blue domain websites that ALL photographers have (you know the one that starts out with the splash page with an image and the two choices "View in Full Screen I View in Same Window" and "View Our Blog, Get Flash Player" and some lala music playing in the background.
What's even funnier is now photographers can get pre-designed postcards, brochures, folders, business cards and marketing materials. All you have to do is have them drop in your images. How cool (sarcasm) is that. High School Seniors will be getting the same brochure or postcard from 10 different studios! Generic and confusing, and to top that off, if they're both SPA members they could have the same senior model pictures in those brochures!!! They should just provide stock images of seniors so the photographers won't have to bother with shooting the pictures themselves.
By the way, we are NOT spa members, NEVER will be, our top 10 list was just a pre-April Fools joke. We do our own lighting, posing, backgrounds, set up and stunts. All of our pictures are of people who came to us for great images. That's just the way we do things.
Now that I think about it I'm glad we design our own stuff, that's what makes us different:)
I hope ya'll like the upside down websites. I already have April 1st 2009 planned, I can't wait.
Rock On!
