Hello Hunters,
My name is Scott, and I’m the Community & Blog Wrangler at Imagely. We’re a new brand, but we’ve been around for years. In fact, our main products are the epic Photocrati theme and the extremely popular WordPress gallery plugin, NextGEN Gallery.
We have just launched a new service called Imagely Hosting.
Imagely Hosting is a managed WordPress hosting service for photographers. It's much more than your standard hosting service, though. Imagely is a turnkey photography website solution, similar to the likes of Squarespace or Weebly. Except it's all on WordPress, with no limitations whatsoever.
Our products and services are already used by some of the top photographers in the industry, like Tamara Lackey, Jared Platt, The Youngrens, Brian Matiash, Colby Brown and even the woman who named WordPress, Christine Tremoulet.
25% of the Internet uses WordPress, which means roughly 1 out of every 4 photographers are already using WordPress for their website or blog.
But so many photographers use services like SmugMug, ShootProof or Zenfolio in conjunction with their WordPress site. Imagely is aimed to solve that complexity for photographers by way of our turnkey solution and all the tools (WordPress themes and plugins) needed to run a photography website.
Our hosting plans are very competitive with competition in the managed hosting space. We also add value specific to photographers, because we know photographers.
Each of our plans come with all of our WordPress themes which are Genesis child themes. We also pre-install best in class plugins needed for a photography website as well as our own plugins, NextGEN Gallery and NextGEN Pro. That way all customers have what they need, including ecommerce, proofing and more.
Like all good hosting companies should do, we offer free site migrations, over 99.9% up timing, perform nightly backups and 24x7 support. Oh, and the platform is on Amazon servers, which rocks!
With all that said, I’m happy to share our new service with PH, and I’d love to answer any questions about it.
We're happy to extend 30 days free for all who want to sign up and test the platform. Just click over and sign up to automatically receive the 30-day trial.
Note that currently the turnkey solution will setup a site based on our Ansel theme design. We will soon be making the theme choice optional during the setup process. But changing themes is a click of a button like on any WordPress site.
