So you are the owner.-and entrepreneur.Where are you from?
Build something great and people will show up. Sorry if that is too vague of an answer, but we've all seen agencies come and go. The ones that are dedicated, study the market and create a great product stick around. The rest close up shop pretty quick.Off the bat, it looks like a KTools store. That's not a deal breaker by any means (I have a KTools store too), but it does give me a little pause about the level of technical skill and dedication going into the site. Just my two cents. Good luck with your endeavor. It can be a lot of work to run your own site, but it can also be rewarding.
Looks like you are off to a good start for the development. I wish you good luck with your project. One small tip. Don't have as your first tab NEWS. Move it behind Promotion and may call it BLOG.All General important pages should have a link in the footer (FAQ, Contact, About, ...) create a page just for the PRESS (press kit, press releases, ...) and place that link in the footer. Think about what type of payment you want to accept and how you want to pay the contributor. Different account view for buyers and contributors? How to upload? FTP? What type of model and property release management? Very important that you import system reads the meta data IPTC out of the image files. Most important is Title, Description, and Keywords. No category selection for contributor. Just uplaod and submit, but with the possibility of editing if necessary. A delete function for image. And a function that allows to cancel an account. But I am sure you know all this.Good luck!
Wow you are lucky normally new sites and sites owners with no marketing/business plans at all don't get such warm and nice comments here.Well in this regard good luck from me too!
What kind of background except as a photographer do you have? Business Administration? Marketing? Accounting? What kind of support in these areas do you have?I was just wondering if you are aware what you are doing and what that potentially means.For example, as you are living in a EU country, you would need to do VAT taxation for EU member countries, depending where the buyer is living. Yeah, not only for your country but for 27 different countries in 27 different ways. Are you prepared to do that? I somehow doubt that because you are not even publishing your own tax or trade registration information as you would be legally required to do.International tax legislation is a bitch and I would just advise you to be careful because in the end you will be liable financially.
I'm going to give it a try.
