OK for those of you that are against the ws..don't bother with this .. but for those who are FTD and have one of their websites.. they have made some really cool new options avail..in fact almost all of the site is now available for you to upload, change, tweak, customize etc.
You could always add meta-tags, sources codes etc, and link to other sites and have a custom tag line at the top of your site to direct to other sites..I have mine link to my flower class, birdal show & wedding sites. You could always send them custom pictures to put under an exclusive catagory.. but now
I just uploaded a bunch of pictures and it goes live as I do it, I set up a few new catagory/links from the front page to these, the Wedding section is really nice now, custom pictures, a budgeting section , Faq, tips and suggestions, glossary of terms and a consultation email option (not sure I am going to do this one).Almost all of the text and all of the pictures are now avail for you to change in your own portal..so you do not have to have someone do it for you.. or I guess you can email them and ask them to do it if you don't want to..
But now I can put specials on the front page, coupons etc, take them off at the spure of the minute, change text etc.. There are a number of templates so it isn't so'cookie cutter' as Cathy says.
In Janury I am really going to work this with custom albums etc when I get time to do it.
All of this for the tech not savvy people. sorry to sound so cheery about it but there are some really good things now on my site that I can control.
And the cost has not risen..probably will but it is in line with most of what the other sites quoted me for something similar and best of all I can go in and change stuff and not have to find a programer or pay a programmer to do it.
It is not as cool as some of your sites but it sure cost me less..and it has the new bells and whistles.
my ftd site is www.greensandthings.com
Again I am sure for you real tech savvy folks this isn't something for you but I was thrilled with the new changes and want to give credit where credit is due.
