Maui Wall Candy Now Online

Maui Wall Candy Logo

After about a month of site customization and photo processing, Maui Wall Candy is now officially online. Maui Wall Candy is an online photo store where you can view and purchase photos that I have taken on our different visits to Maui. You can browse through the different galleries to find photos of magnificent sunsets, stunning vistas, great beaches and more.

And I've really only started and have about 2,000 photos yet to review from this past trip back in April. I've added a Coming Soon page to highlight some of the new photos and galleries I'm working on. To make it easier, there is a Recent Photos Feed that you can subscribe to and check out the latest photos when they're added.

The site is hosted using a SmugMug Pro Account, which means it's part of the bigger SmugMug collection of photographers and photo galleries. It's a bit of a change for me after my years using Flickr, but the site really wouldn't be possible without SmugMug.

So if you love Maui or just want to check it out, head on over and start browsing. If you're interested in buying something, you can check out the different formats and pricing available on the Pricing page. Not only can you buy full sized prints, there are also digital options available, too. Why digital? Check out the Photo Ideas page to find out.

Thanks, and happy viewing.

New Photo Store Coming

After being inspired, yet again, by another trip to Maui this past April, I'm in the process of putting up my first eCommerce site that will sell both prints and digital downloads of my many Maui photos.

The site design is still in progress, but many of the details are actually already handled for me. How? I'm planning on signing up for a SmugMug Pro account that once configured, will handle everything from the credit card processing and fulfillment, to the printing, customer service, you name it. That leaves me to pick which photos I want to sell, clean them up and adjust them for printing, and then upload to their servers. Pretty neat.

This is giving me the chance to really focus on the site design as the main effort, since they even give you the templates and page markup for the galleries as well.

More details in the coming weeks.
