Given the fact that today is Friday the 13th, we didn’t want you to be scared so we are bringing joy by introducing 3 great new features! 

1)  Enhanced Paging

You will now have the functionality of scrolling pages of your images.  This is extremely useful when uploading hundreds of images.  Before, if you uploaded hundreds of images on a page, you would see the pages go all the way across the screen.  Now, only 16 pages will display at a time.  You will have to click the arrows to see the next set of pages.

You may not even notice this unless you upload hundreds of photos in one gallery (we recommend about 15-20 NOT 250), however, this will also enhance the overall speed and effectiveness of the control panel.

2)  Splash Page accepts PNG files

With the addition of some recent splash page upgrades such as Backgrounds, we have realized the need to facilitate PNG (transparent) images.  We recently updated this feature for the logo on the splash page and now have opened this functionality to all images on the splash page.  Whether it is a “main” image that links to your website or blog, or an image uploaded in your footer; PNG transparent files are now widely acceptable by the PhotoBiz Splash Intro page!

3)  Enhanced SEO on Splash Pages

We have recently included a new Enhanced SEO section for the Splash Page similar to every page/gallery of your website.  As we are leading the advancement of Search Engine Optimization in the Flash Industry, we continue to innovate and enhance this for you!  Here are some step by step instructions to help you out with a screen shot from your control panel:

If you are a PhotoBiz customer, I am proud to announce that you now have access to switch between 71 different Flash website templates with one click of the mouse and no additional costs as we release “Venice” today!

The New York Times is quoted saying that Venice is, “undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man”.  Known as the “City of Water”, City of Bridges, and “The City of Light; we are excited for our Full Screen Collection to travel to this beautiful city and pick up on some of its attributes.

“Venice” is the second template in our series of three that are built on the same concept structure.  Building off of “Florence”, that contained a color shifting effect behind the images as they transitioned, the New “Venice” allows for color shifting behind the logo too.  This allows you to change the color on the left sidebar to coordinate with each image as they transition.  Along with color shifting, “Venice” is designed without any borders giving it a distinctly different look and overall appearance.

Another great feature with this series of templates is the fact that the logo can be placed on the left OR the right.  With just 1 click, you decide.  As this series is a part of the larger “Full Screen” collection, lets look at some of its other fully customizable attributes:

PhotoBiz and our Full Screen Collection are taking a wonderful trip overseas to Florence Italy to introduce its 70th Template!  Projected to be one of the most popular templates by design, there is also a new feature to check out with the addition of this new Florence Template.

As you can see, the sleek new design has a beautiful sidebar placed to the left that holds your logo.  Now I would recommend a .PNG transparent file for your logo so that you can take full advantage of the color shifting effect.  This means that as your images transition, you can have the colors “shift” and change colors to coordinate with predominate colors in each image.

What Else Do I Get?

For starters, you have 100% control over the color shifting and color management throughout the template.  If you want a different color, literally anywhere on this template, you can input a HEX number or use our professionally designed color schemes for a quick customized look.

Let’s say you preview your website to format nicely on a large monitor, but your customers are viewing from a small notebook monitor…  Our proprietary system will automatically reformat your website to fit each monitor/customer that visits.

The Best SEO in the Industry is of course included for FREE!  This includes page specific Meta Tags, deep linking URL’s,  Automatic XML site mapping, an HTML Splash Page, an automatic HTML mirror site (One-time $45 fee) and unlimited free access to SEO experts here on the PhotoBiz team.

Switch from your current PhotoBiz Flash website to Florence with just 1 click of your mouse and no additional cost!  We will have this template available today in your control panel so there are no updates necessary by you! (Cloud Computing) Let us know how you like Florence’s design and how you like all of the features we have been creating!
