We really dig the light and airy design of Micah and Cristie’s new custom Showit website. It also takes a unique approach in that they display Showit slideshows instead of a gallery of images. Just goes to show you the power that wedding slideshows still have. Their site features no bells or whistles, just good clean design and some beautiful slideshows that are worth watching.

It’s always a challenge to consistently create websites for photographers that feel different and unique. Luckily no one person is alike, so each “feels” different but the obstacle them becomes making them all “look” different. This often means trying new things and taking new approaches with common problems like “putting something more on the home page besides a boring slide-show.” We are blessed to have a creative team of individuals that can take a photographers established marketing materials and transform it into a completely custom website that’s tailored to fit.
Sarah Parent’s new custom site features “peeling” stickers as entrances into a dual portal website featuring a separate weddings and portraits section, unique home page layouts, and a simple but effective “about” page.

It’s truly an honor when we get to work with such amazing photographers like Amber and Nathan Holritz. As a photographer I’ve been well aware of them for many years now, and have always enjoyed their work. The ability to show emotion without color in imagery is quite an accomplishment, but these guys do with grace. Naturally their site and blog needed to be completely simple, letting the images stand out and speak for themselves.
Their custom Showit website includes individualized sections highlighting Amber, Nathan, and their associate photographer Jeremy. With each given their own galleries and investment pages, it makes the site large in structure, but remains simple and intuitive to navigate. Their blog setup is fused together with Showit using a custom version of our MilkPress blog framework, making it cohesive across the board and solidifying the global brand.

We like to think big here at SMD. Well in order to think even bigger, we needed a bigger place to do so! Starting this weekend we’ll have 60 acres to look out across to inspire creativity. A space this large allow for a lot of thinking. All that’s being put to good use this fall. 
SMD HQ is moving from one pasture to another, and to celebrate we’re having a sale! We don’t typically have sales very often so if you were on the fence about a custom website, now’s your chance to save!
From midnight tonight until next Tuesday at midnight (July 13th), custom sites will be discounted by 10%! Offer is valid for new inquiries over the next 7 days starting from midnight tonight (July 6th).

We’re not even quite sure just how to describe this custom website. Eccentric? Eclectic? One thing we can say without any reservation is that the personalities of Genya and Wesleyann from Vue Photography are directly reflected in this site; figuratively and literally speaking. In the two years we’ve been building custom Showit websites, it’s right up there as one of our ultimate favorites. Each page brings something new so be sure to tuck away a good 30 minutes to look through their new site. Not only is the site pure and fresh, but their photography is absolutely stunning!

Their site features a great deal of custom animation, and a whole lot of attention to detail.
