We’re kicking off the new year with lots of new releases that we’re sure you’ll love.
Proofing: Cover page email collection
It’s easier than ever to collect email addresses as part of the Proofing process with the new cover page email collection option. Previously, after a customer logged in to see their pictures, they were prompted to provide their email address only after making a selection (such as favoriting an image or entering a comment). Now you can enable the email collection prompt to appear on a gallery cover page so you get your visitors’ email addresses from the moment they start interacting with a Proofing gallery.
Proofing: New cover page layouts
We’ve also released new cover page layout designs for Proofing. You can use these to brand your events (also known as galleries). These new layouts are slick and modern, and will really make your work shine.
You also now have the option to use different cover page layouts on each Proofing event. By default cover pages for all Proofing events continue to use the same layout, but now you have the choice to customize the layout within each event. From the cover page settings, under "cover page layout", you have the choice between auto and custom. If you select custom, you can choose a layout to personalize that specific cover page.
Ecommerce: Updated digital packages
We’ve created a new package type called Digital Full Event. This allows your customers to purchase and download all the images in an event at the resolution you select (Web, High, or Original*).
With this new package option, you’ll be able to increase your digital sales. You can even offer multiple full-event download options by allowing downloads at different resolutions. For example, you could customize packages like:
Bronze (web resolution files) - $1,000
Silver (high-resolution files) - $2,200
Gold (original resolution files) - $5,000
*Note: Original Files is a premium upgrade. Once you enable this from your control panel, you can upload, store, and sell files up to 50MB each (high-resolution images are up to 4MB each).
Ecommerce: New digital download file options
We’ve released a new option to sell digital files. In addition to selling images as digital downloads, you can now sell other file types (e.g., PSD, PDF) stored in the File Section of the PhotoBiz platform. You no longer need a direct link to files sourced from third-party tools like DropBox and WeTransfer. This gives you greater control, such as how long a customer can download a file source. Plus, with Original Files enabled, you can upload large files up to 50MB a piece and then sell them, use them for lead gen, and more.
Now you can sell any file type PhotoBiz supports directly from your site. This makes the buying experience of digital files more branded and saves you from using multiple tools.
Website Builder: DuoBuild engine
Our new DuoBuild Engine allows you to create new website layouts, by offering the option to display two blocks of content side by side. There are so many amazing possible combinations of content blocks. Now you’ll be able to create the most unique website you can dream of. The new DuoBuild engine is now available for all PhotoBiz 9 users.
Website Builder: Two new templates
We released two new templates utilizing the new DuoBuild engine – Hopper and Turner. Hopper features clean lines, bold colors, and edge-to-edge design elements. Turner also utilizes edge-to-edge design elements and has a menu anchored at the bottom of the screen. We look forward to sharing more new templates featuring the DuoBuild engine.
What a start to the year! These new releases will improve both your website usability and aesthetics. We look forward to sharing more releases throughout the year.
