• New Feature Added to Miller's Web Hosting

  We’ve added another new feature to Miller’s Web Hosting!  You can now offer your clients high-resolution images for enhanced viewing.  If you opt in to this feature, your clients can view one 600-pixel image per page by default, or can choose to view smaller images per page as an alternative.  They can also enlarge an image area with our new mouse-over function, which works as a magnifying glass.  To enable this option, visit the Event Options box on the Studio Profile page within Miller’s Web Hosting.  Check out our Wedding & Portrait Demo to see how it works. Also, don’t forget about our new email notification feature, which lets visitors know when an event is about to expire.  Seven days before the expiration date, an email will be automatically sent to visitors informing them that the event images will no longer be available for viewing or purchasing.  A link to the event will also be included so that they can easily access the images again.  For more information on Miller’s Web Hosting, click here.   Posted May 05 2008, 10:39 AM by Julie Brown with 1 comment(s) Filed under: Storefront
