Custom Slideshow with Order Form

One of the photographers that I work with, Crystal Spath from Reflections by Crystal, asked me to create a custom slideshow for her clients who wanted to share photos with friends and family outside of the studio.  In turn, sharing these slideshows would give the opportunity for friends and family to order their own photos.

I suggested that with the slideshow, add a custom order form so that friends and family could immediately order the portraits online, thereby cutting down phone time and automating the process a bit more. For added protection, the page is password protected so only those with the username/password can view the page.

The slideshow uses a Flash image rotator with a logo watermark to protect the image. The order form is using Mals-e shopping cart system with a Multi-Item Add form including drop-downs to select from the various poses. Ideally this works best for items that are single choices from a drop-down but we incorporated collections and packages that the customer can indicate their choices during the checkout process.

If you are interested in a custom slide show or order form for your website, please submit a FREE Quote or contact me for further information and pricing. Pricing will vary based on size of slideshow and number of options for order form.
