Photographers have long been considered visionaries of our industry in terms of internet marketing. They were among the first on the web and the first to see the value in the heavy use of images in marketing to brides. But in choosing their website platform they have faced a dilemma, select a Flash template like Bludomain for its optical appeal or choose a standard HTML type site sacrificing optics but getting much better search engine traffic. They know they need a visually beautiful site to show off their images and talent. But the brides, over 90% of whom use Google to help plan their wedding, never see the photographer’s website in the search listings. Kertesz² is the remedy

Building on the inputs of our clients and the advancements in WordPress over the last year we have totally reinvented Kertesz, with Kertesz². The code base is all new! (and 30% larger.) Fully compatible with WordPress 2.8 and using all the 2.8 features. Compatible with the past and even better, it takes advantage of today’s new features in an even easier to use and customize theme. If you are currently using WordPress it is easy to add Kertesz².

Using the technology of Kertesz² we have increased our clients website traffic 500% in less that 4 weeks. We have even taken brand new domains to front page Google search search results, also in less than a month.

Kertesz² retains all the features of the old Kertesz, updated. Better, more interactive, easier to design main page options, improved photo galleries and contact forms. Easier to style and with more impressive graphics. If you already have a Flash based website, like Bludomain, with the inherently poor search potential, Kertesz² can easily replace your splash page, making it easy to add search friendly content, integrate your blog and Twitter and Facebook feeds and rapidly move your existing Flash site towards the front of Google.

Regardless of your situation Kertesz² will increase your site traffic and prospective clients. If you have any questions just send me an email.

Well here is one that’s plenty savvy.
Last weekend the SavvyPlanners.com website went live. We took their previous static html site and transformed it with a Kertesz platform. We even helped them source a new logo.
Some of our clients are pretty techie and go for the white site and build them out themselves, in this case we did the heavy lifting for the client. Either way, you just can’t beat the results with the Kertesz blogsite.

Here is what the client had to say about the site and about our team here at The Agency@ Think

“When websites attack (Or just get old and lifeless)… In walk the magicians of Kertesz and change our web world! Sticky, content-lush, vibrant and au courant, we’re all in love with our new site and so are our visitors and clients! The Kertesz team has made themselves generously available, clearly and genuinely concerned about results and our success! They’re extremely knowledgeable (and easy on the techno-speak for newbies like us!)

I must even credit their principal designer with helping us source our, new, winning logo!!! I can’t imagine somebody’s ‘daddy’ going to that extent to help a client!

Don’t take our word for it! Look at our site (optimized for firefox/safari)! Can’t wait to be spidered again and watch our ranking soar.

Kertesz CSS website. Twenty first century web presence, support and design… Best web money spent, EVER!”

Another adaptation of Kertesz went live this week. This time it was for a photographer in Portugal, Tiago Valente. One of the really cool things about these WordPress sites is that since they are open source you can find just about any tool you need to make it work for you. In this case we had to translate it into Portuguese, including the five letters that are unique to that alphabet. It took some work and a bit of looking, but I think you will agree with Tiego, the site’s owner, that the results are outstanding.
Here is what Tiago had to say:

Dear Marc,
Having finished the Kertesz setting up, I just want to tell you how happy I am with the final result!
This template really changed my presence in the internet, with its very professional and all easily customizable look. I’m an absolute zero in html or flash programming so I was glad I found Kertesz. From a 24 points in HubSpot’s Website Grader (http://website.grader.com) I now have a 63! What an improvement with just a few clicks! I And I’m still learning about SEO.
But especially I want to thank you your perseverance as for this one you had to “struggle” with the language problem, as I’m a Portuguese wedding photographer.
In fact all the words that I might write are not enough to thank you for your work and all the changes it made in my professional live!
With my best regards to you and Christine,
Tiago Valente

It doesn’t matter where you are or what you do, a Kertesz website can make all the difference.

UPDATE: this just in from Tiago!

I can’t belive my eys, after a bit of “tunning” up my site, I now am nº4 and again nº11 in “fotografos profissioais casamentos” in the google search, at least here in Portugal!!!! Amazing!

“fotografos profissionais” is about nº 19.

Today is the last day to take advantage of the $50 off coupon on the Kertesz Blog/Website for Wedding Professionals.

If you haven’t seen Kertesz you are missing the boat.

We all know that today’s brides love eye candy. They spend hours online looking at pictures of weddings and wedding details. If your website doesn’t give them great visuals they aren’t going to waste their time on it. Kertesz offers the ultimate solution for today’s Wedding Professionals to reach today’s bride. Its capacity to showcase big beautiful images in both galleries and your blog gives you the visual edge that you need.

Now, add in the integrated blog with its capacity to show images up to 900 pixel wide and you have a real winner. Built on the fabulous WordPress platform you have a blog that is dynamic and ever evolving. The way the system works is ever time you add content, you add a new page and one more place for brides to look. Are you stuck on an old school five or six page website that never changes? Are you married to a totally flash site that has the search capability of a brick and that you can’t easily update? It is time to move into the new way of life on the web. One of the advantages you have as a small business is to be capable of rapidly changing to meet your markets needs; shouldn’t your website have the same ability?

Speaking of change. We have just added a new service to our Kertesz family of products.

Since Kertesz is so highly customizable you may want to do more, like change the size of the Flash Banner or something that no one else has thought of yet. Not to worry, we are here for you. We have added an hourly consulting service to handle as much or as little of your build out for you as you like. We will take care of any little bits and bobs you want us to tackle. Easy, done! What’s more, is our crack team has customized so many of these fabulous site we can do it quickly and efficiently. So if you find yourself getting bogged down or just too darn busy to finish some of the details just give us a call and we can take care of it for you.

We got in a conversation here at the Agency as a result of a comment on Marc’s blog about the power of our WordPress platform for business. A photographer had commented that he was thinking of switching his site to a hybrid blogsite like Kertesz so of course we went to look at his current site. Read more
