Go Pro With Graph Paper Press and PhotoShelter
Graph Paper Press has been bringing photographers beautiful, easy to use WordPress themes since 2004. We started to notice their smartly designed themes popping up on some of our favorite photographer’s sites and it wasn’t long before a partnership was born. (PhotoShelter Standard and Pro users can greatly enhance their online presences by combining beautiful themes from Graph Paper Press with PhotoShelter’s robust e-commerce, marketing, and image distribution tools.) Since then it’s been nothing but great reviews and even more stunning sites.
That’s why we were so excited when Graph Paper Press announced earlier this week that they were launching Graph Paper Press Pro, a new service that combines blog hosting, management and the complete library of Graph Paper Press themes all in one simple to use interface. In their own words:
Pro is for individuals and businesses who don’t want to deal with building or managing a WordPress web site. Our team handles WordPress installations, core software upgrades, website security, installation of must-have plugins and access to all Graph Paper Press themes (including future releases). In layman’s terms, you will be only two minutes away from launching your own killer website.
Graph Paper Press Pro is an end-to-end web hosting, WordPress and theme solution that takes two minutes to activate. Each new Pro account comes with three layers of management: 1) Server management by Firehost, 2) WordPress management by Page.ly, and 3) theme management by Graph Paper Press.
Take the video tour:

All of this functionality, and a farewell to the headaches of domain registration, web hosting, WordPress installations etc… comes at a very reasonable $35/month – including free domain registration. And what goes better with a Graph Paper Press Pro account than a PhotoShelter Pro account? Nothing.
While these are both wise investments in your photo future, why not get the entire Pro package for FREE?

Why do I need to win this giveaway? BECAUSE MY WEBSITE IS A HOT MESS! I have worked my butt off this year getting beautiful images that I’m actually proud of but my website is currently a free wix website that pixelates my images, is horrid FLASH! and is just altogether bad news and looks like a kindergartner designed my site. I am soooo ashamed I don’t even carry my business cards around with me because I don’t want people to judge me on my site. I’ve done the hard work, now truly give me a website I can be just as proud of!
This is exactly what I need as I continue to grow my photography business. Your products really speak to today’s photographer and client. I need you to help me take it to the next level!
Teresa, Thank you for the kind words! We’d love to help you kick it up a notch with some new pro accounts. Be sure to enter on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/photoshelter and don’t forget to “like” us while you’re there!
I love Graph Paper Press. I just started using the F8 theme on my main studio site. The ability to merge a blog and web site into something that looks like a web site it fabulous. No need to maintain two sites for my wedding photo studio any longer.
I love it! Thats why I need to win! My current site just isn’t dong it!!!
Your product looks real nice. I will be looking to buy this as soon as possible. The price for the Photo Shelter seems really decent for what you are offering.
Nice to learn about an end-to end- web hosting. It is nice to learn that you provide WordPress installations, software upgrades, installation of plugins and security features.
I just started my business with Canon t4i, still not sure how to get the lighting right or half the options. What are some ways to make money in photography with out much experience. I’m afraid to do a wedding!
