I know a lot of satisfied customers who have bought WordPress themes from 8-bit. I’m one of those satisfied customers. Just this week, 8-bit released a theme designed with the professional photographer in mind. If you are a professional photographer and are looking to update your site, or you’re a budding amateur looking to make a place for yourself on the web, then you’ve got to check this out.
This is AWESOME.
Not only is the Pro Photo Theme based on the same standards as Standard Theme (used here and on many other sites across the web), but it comes with some awesome options for photographers built-in, making it easy for anyone to jump right in without having to decipher all kinds of code to get it to look the way you want.
A few of the cool features that I like include:
- Preventing hot-linking. This means that people can’t steal your photos and bandwidth.
- Embeddable galleries. Let’s say you create a gallery for a senior photo shoot or wedding. Your client can embed the entire gallery on their own site, driving their visitors to back to your site! It’s like grass-roots advertising without even trying.
- Collections. Have you ever wanted to create an easy way for visitors to browse through a specific category of photos? Collections make that as easy a couple clicks.
- Fully customizable. Since Pro Photo Theme is licensed under GPL, you can customize is however you want. You won’t have to worry about your photo blog looking like everyone else’s.
- Affiliate Marketing. If someone buys the theme (or any 8-bit theme) through you, you get 50% commission. You’re not advertising for something you wouldn’t use, and who can beat a 50% commission?
Don’t forget to check out 8-bit’s other themes too:
- Standard Theme – I like to call it the industry standard because it was built on industry standards from the ground up. It’s fast and SEO optimized right out of the box.
- Live Theme – If you have any kind of live streaming event, this is the theme for you. Also built on industry standards, Live Theme gives you all kinds of options that are easy to implement.
