Hello and welcome to the new Michael Allen Photography website. For a little over a year now I had been looking at possible solutions for a new and improved website for my photography business that would allow cool stuff like password protected client areas, secure image proofing, online stores and contact forms, not to mention the boring bits like - reliable, easy to use, good value and well supported. But above all it had to look great, because lets face it - photography is a visual art and you could have fabulous portfolios of photographs but if your website doesn't do them justice it's a bit of a waste. I'd gone through several ideas over the year, including building the site myself, but finally settled on a purpose designed web service based in the USA that offered all the cool stuff I was after (and more too) not to mention the boring bits as well. I'm sure you'll like it... M
