I Photo Central | Put Your Gallery Online with Us

Photography dealers, galleries,
photographers and photography book dealers

Photography dealers, galleries, photographers and photography book dealers can all list items within the I Photo Central® gallery/bookstore database and set up their own web pages utilizing this feature.

In order to use this feature on the dealer's own individual website, they must host the site on our server. There is generally no additional charge for this hosting arrangement, and you can still keep your own domain name, if you so choose.

You can also just maintain your inventory in I Photo Central® and maintain your site completely separately but with a link to and from I Photo Central®. The cost is generally the same, whichever approach you choose. We do recommend that for the best selling opportunities you maintain your individual site on our server and use the database for your inventory on both sites.

If you go with one of our regular style's on your own website, the one-time set-up/enrollment fee is currently only $500 (see: www.vintageworks.net for an example of the typical site included for this fee). There is an additional monthly maintenance fee of $250. These charges will be billed monthly to your credit card. A minimum of a one-year contract is required. If you wish additional custom work on your site, it will be billed at $100 per hour additional.

The number of images you can database for this price is up to 500. Above 500 images, a small incremental monthly fee is added ($50/mo. per 500 additional). You may change your images and text as many times as you would like with no additional charges, and as frequently as you wish. You have pass-word-protected access to your complete database of images and/or books.

For the set-up fee you are provided a basic three-page front-end web site or help with integration of your own site with the database gallery. More extensive web design services are available at a per hour rate.

Photography dealers, galleries and photographers

You can also supplement your database gallery with "Special Exhibits" pages. These pages allow you to highlight from 4 to 28 images, plus include areas for your copy information, including exhibit dates, times, essay, bio information, etc. If you include the images in your database gallery, they will be clickable and will allow viewers to purchase directly from the page. There is no additional fee to put such an exhibit up on your own site, and the price is only $250 for the first three months on I Photo Central®, and then you can either shift the display over to your own web site or pay an additional $50 per month. You will also get a free logo-link listing in the Photography Calendar of Events Web Exhibition section (a savings of $200). (Please note that if you sign up in 2003, you will receive two Special Exhibits on I Photo Central® and all your Calendar logo-links are free of charge for at least the first year.
