It's been a trial getting this new hosting and e-commerce service customised  and up and running, but finally, it's 99% dome.  There are just a few tweaks here and there but they can be fine tuned later.

So why switch?  There were lots of reasons -

1. This site is much easier to navigate especially if a client is purchasing either a print or a download image and yes - you can now purchase download images, whereas before, it was an exasperating exercise.
2. Event images can be purchased in multi-currencies.  Clients like the familiarity of dealing in there own currency.  There are some places where only $US dollars are available but these images are intended for a world wide audience, who are familiar with ordering in $US dollars.
3. This site also accommodates video clips.  Like it or not, with today's cameras now being able to shoot video, we're heading in that direction.  While there is still a place for stills, video is the future.
4. You are reading this from the built in blog.  Many image hosting companies focus solely on images and overlook the need for commentaries.
