The Digital Photographer's Software Guide
Clickbooq
Vendor: Clickbooq, Inc.
Purpose: Website creation, management, and hosting solution for professional photographers
Description
Developed especially for professional photographers, Clickbooq is a Website creation,
management, and hosting solution that allows you to create a full-featured Flash Website
in a few minutes. It is all done from a normal browser and requires no special knowledge
of Flash or HTML. There is no software to install on your own computer.
Clickbooq offers a wide range of standard features including instant updates, storage for
thousands of images, custom backgrounds, unlimited Web galleries, IPTC data support,
slide shows and music, and hundreds of design options. You can have your own domain
name (such as a .com address) that links through to your area of the Clickbooq site.
With a 1GB hosting plan, a photographer can store over 5,000 images on Clickbooq.
Comments
Clickbooq benefits from being a latecomer to the online photo hosting business. Its
design is sleek and up-to-date, making many other services appear slightly dated. It
shows off images to perfection, pre-loading them in the Flash viewer for a very fast and
comfortable viewing experience.
To use it you need a broadband connection, a fast computer, and some image resizing
software. The interface is simple and offers two navigation schemes: a classic, left-hand
menu design or a top-down version that stays hidden when not used. If you do not like
Flash (and not everyone does), Clickbooq is probably not for you. But it means you can
disable all right-clicks more effectively than you can with HTML-based sites. The end
result is a clean, professional presentation of your images.
