After 10+ years of having BetterPhoto for my professional photography studio's website I can't imaging not using BP. I have taken several courses from multiple instructors that took my portraits to the next level. In the past, BP has offered a buy one year, get one free! This is BIG! There's no other website host that offers all the options at such a great price. I constantly receive compliments on the ease of navigation from my clients which is a huge benefit when online proofing. You won't find a better website host with better support than BetterPhoto. Thank you to Jim and the crew at BP. I look forward to many more years of using your services.
At one time this was a good site for hosting a photo website. No longer. I'm unable to update my bio photo and text. The text that I enter correctly shows up run together on my website. I don't dare try to edit my selection of photos. It's almost impossible to find contact information. They do respond to an email (always during the night, so I suppose they are half way around the world) and say they'll send the issue on to their tech team. They're just kidding, although not kidding when they want your money. Stay away.
I actually enjoyed betterphoto.com - 4 or 5 years ago. Now there are no more instructors, no diversity of classes, nothing of any interest beyond that of absolute beginners. I think there are only four offerings now, all of which I outgrew a few years ago.
WHAT HAPPENED? It once had promise; now it's showing all the signs of a failing project that is quickly fading into obscurity.
Wasn't a fan of betterphoto.com. I don't think they do anything to make online learning more interesting and useful than any other online learning company. The instructor for my class was knowledgeable about the camera but couldn't really get involved. Felt kind of like the class was an "our way or the highway" steamroller kind of approach. Didn't learn very much unfortunately.
After almost 4 weeks of having my web site off of the line, I have received an email that I am back on line. After checking the same I was far away from being back on line. They were lying to me and God knows how many other customers. Absolutely, absolutely Bad, Bad Bad Web Site Host. Stay Far Away From It.
I will be as honest and direct as I always am; some of the other unhappy reviewers make valid points. This one, on the other hand, is not based in truth. This customer would email us obsessively, with all caps swear words in the subject line. We tried many, many times to help him but he either did not get our emails or ignored them. There is a truth taught in many business courses that you have to serve your target client and "fire" those that either ignorantly or maliciously try to suck the energy out of you. This person clearly was not and I'm glad we "fired" him.
If you have a technical problem with the site (that you have paid for and been a customer for 7 years or so) THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO ONE WHO WILL ADDRESS YOUR PROBLEM... NO ONE... BEEN WAITING NOW APPROX. 10 DAYS WITHOUT ANY HELP SO WE CAN ACTUALLY USE OUR PAID FOR WEBSITE... TERRIBLE SERVICE!
WORSE SITE EVER! THEY took my credit card, the got my money. I received NOTHING! My Attoney is contacting the Attorney General's Office in Washington State. Also, the Federal Trade Commission also needs to be contacted. They have my money, I have NOTHING!
Great for amatures - There's a lot of options from beginners on up.
If the courses offered are as comprehensive as the site one would learn a great deal.
The pull downs made manuevering easy.
Great website - I like this site very much. Easy to find what your looking for and the photos are of great quality. Will return
Lousy customer service, classes very limited as to breadth and scope.
Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.
