I couldn’t build a website if all that was required was spaghetti and meatballs and I was a master chef. I simply cannot do it. With kids ranging from teh ages of 22 through 3, learning how to build a website, be a wife and mother, business person, family nurse, family chef, family driver and anything else my family needs takes priority. I’ve been lucky enough to score a couple of gigs to pay a few bills, but I don’t really have a suitable place to display my work or samples. So many others have some sort of website. All I have is SmugMug and thank goodness for them.

Someone else is certainly more deserving, but I had to comment anyway. One of these days, I will find the time and money to build a site and start my photography dream. In the meantime, I hope the very best person wins this awesome prize!!

Man do we need a website! My business partner and I have been trying since last october to have our friend finish our web site. That’s right I said a year! They started and never finished. When you go to our site it says coming soon. Every dollar we make goes right back into our business buying backgrounds, lights, and lens. This would be our final thing we need to really give us that boost we need in building our client base. We both currently work full time jobs on top of running our photography business. We would love nothing more to dedicate all of our time to our passion and finally leave or jobs!! We believe getting a functional and operating website is the key.

My comment didn’t post originally so I’m coming back to post after the fact so I can qualify for the discount. I need a new update to my blog and my smugmug page! It’s so outdated!

Wow…what a great and fantastic opportunity this is… First off thank you for offering such a wonderful gift! I myself do not have a web site. I use the basic myspace to show the people I photograph their images and then have them tell me which ones they want me to print from there. I do not have the first clue about setting up a web site but would LOVE to have one so maybe the people around my area would take me serious! I do so many free photo shoots because I feel no one thinks I am anything more then a picture taker (nothing close to a professional) don’t get me wrong I don’t mind doing things for people but for the past year that’s all I have done. So maybe… I would love to see if a web site could turn things around!

I have gone back and forth deciding whether or not to enter this contest. I made the mistake of reading so many of the other comments and thought, “Oh that person really wants it”, or “They soo deserve it.” I have been in a constant state of comparison. Now what I really want is a website that truly shows who I am, Lydia Shannon, as a person and as an artist. My current site isn’t terrible, but it sure doesn’t represent the 22 year old girl who is ready to spread her wings. Who just resigned from her fourth grade teaching position and is ready to take the photography world by storm. My website says nothing about myself other than the articles and posts that are written as personal. It is now 11:53pm and I am probably the last person to enter this contest. But that is me.

In January, I have decided to incorporate and really create a business. I realize that if I want to be a high end photographer, I need a website that sells me instantaneously to my clients. I am always up on my soapbox talking about how people NEED to hire a professional and here I am with a template website that I created myself. Please help me to stop being a hypocrite and to start being myself. Too stop comparing to everyone else and to truly come in to my own as not only a photographer, but also as a person.

I would love to have a website rather than a blog. I like my blog but I’ve been told that other photographers are very professional because they have a “website” I want that “professional” look for my business. I think my customers deserve it! I would love to have galleries and online viewing too. Thanks. http://www.allforfunphotography.blogspot.com
