We’ve had a few reports of order emails going astray, and when we’ve checked it the photographer usually finds it in their junk email folder or bulk bin.

We’ve added a couple of new setup codes, so that the order email you get always comes from an email address that you can specify – this allows you to add it into your whitelist on your spam killing software. You can now also specify an alternate address that the system uses to send the order confirmation to your customers.

If you’d prefer your order emails to come from a fixed address rather than from your individual customers, give us a call and we’ll make the change to your account. The only downside is that you’ll no longer be able to reply to the order email to send it back to your customer, but you’ll notice there is a new email link within the order mail, so you can just click that to send an email to your customer.

In his TV and Film documentaries, Ken Burns often gives life to still photographs by slowly zooming in on subjects of interest, panning and fading from one subject to another within different images, a technique first used in ”Alistair Cooke’s America” in 1973.

For example, he might open a clip with a close-up of one person in a photograph, then zoom out so that another person in the photo becomes visible. The zooming and panning across photographs gives the feeling of motion, and keeps the viewer visually engaged. (more…)

A new addition to our growing portfolio of integrated viewers for your website, is our Page Flipping Component. This gives a realistic representation of flicking through the book by either clicking or dragging the pages with the mouse. (more…)

We’ve added a quick contact form to the system. This can be placed on any page, and asks your visitors to supply their name, telephone number and email address. All fields must be entered, and the email address is checked for conformity. (more…)

Phosys automatically generates the pages within your site, so in normal use you’ll never see “404 Page Not Found” errors.

However, if you remove a page that is listed in a search engine like Google, visitors would see a “COULD NOT FIND PAGE” error within your site. This also occurs when you move an existing site to us and the page names change. (more…)
