About the PHOTOtool
The PHOTOtool was built by photographers for photographers. We use it every day, and we want it to be the most useful tool you own. We are a small company that wants to provide the absolutely best resource for selling your work online and managing galleries.

The PHOTOtool is the simplest and easiest way to get your images up online and ready for your clients to purchase. We have Private, password protected galleries and Public Galleries which require no passwords. Our "Quick Link" choice is kind of a mix of both. We have put everything most photographers need into the PHOTOtool. Just as importantly we have left out bloat and stuff that only a handfull of photographers ever need. Our goal is simple:, to be easy, fast and provide our photographers with the ability to do business online and increase their profits. We don't want to be the biggest, just the best for our clients.

We would also like to take this moment and do the "list." You know what the list is, right? The list of things that make the PHOTOtool so unique, fun and easy. Here goes:

Private, "Password" Galleries Public Galleries for showing images Easy portfolio management Sell Fine Art online State Sales Tax tool Simple Shipping Rates tool Quick View Administration Area Custom Colors for matching your site PayPal ready for your account Multiple ways for your clients to pay Global and Custom Pricing per gallery

No additional fees or percentages Free Lab Module Bill clients with PayPal tool Package and Print Descriptions You control all text on site Movies for training Plenty of storage Order Management and Archives Client friendly order process Custom login page for clients News tool for keeping clients aware

"Thanks for getting me set up with the PHOTOtool. I've been using one of the major online proofing systems for several years now and was frustrated with some of the limitations. Once I saw the demo of the PHOTOtool I realized that it was going to solve many of these problems for me. The nice thing about the PHOTOtool is that it is relatively easy to learn and to use. After attending the first users meeting I'm really excited about the improvements that are in the works. As you introduce new features it's making a very good program even better. The best part is that my customers like it better and find it easier to use. I set up several of them on the original system I was using and then put their images on the PHOTOtool. All of them liked it better and none went back to the original postings after they used the PHOTOtool. My only regret? I should have signed up last fall when you first started talking to me about this product."

"The total control website (and PHOTOtool) has improved my marketing efforts significantly. I can now add/delete/edit copy, background colors, and most importantly, the images on my site at will. I no longer have to pay hourly rates for updates and changes! The total control functionality was easily integrated into the existing design of my site, though very attractive customized templates are available. The homepage slide show is an especially cool feature. I've made extensive use of the public galleries which allow me to show several hundred images, which again can be edited at any time from my browser. The tool allows me to market stock and display images online with the ability to handle search functions and financial transactions directly through the site. Technical support is excellent, new features are added on a regular basis, the learning curve is quite doable, the cost is affordable and well worth the added value I can now offer my clients. I have no complaints!"

"After installing PHOTOtool on to my server, my website became the most powerful marketing tool for my business! The fully interactive applications of the PHOTOtooll, allowed not only my clients the ease to navigate through my site and their private galleries, but gave me the total control to update and change my content at a click of a button"

"This tool has helped me be more productive, show more images, create more leads, sell prints and stock, manage clients, show proofs and save time. The cost-effectiveness of this tool is amazing. It' really easy to use - and I am not a computer guy. I am having more fun, showing more work and making more money!"
