How does it work?
You sign up free, and a site (such as http://demo.photodeposit.com) is created for you. In addition, two free jobs is given so that you can posting your pictures and start selling. You have the following options: your own domain name or use our subdomain, you can accept orders or have PhotoDeposit do all (accept orders and mail prints), etc. For site customization, we enhance your standard site with an advanced layout have the feel and look of your liking, however, we do charge a fee for this.

How much does it cost to put an event online?
There is no monthly fee, no commission charge, and no activation fee. When a site is created for you, two "Event Credits" are given so that you can create events right away. After that, you can refill your "Event Credits", each event credit range from $6 to $15 depending whether you are a business or individual/non-profit organizations and how much you buy. For example: assume you are a non-profit organization wanting to sell pictures, and you decided to purchase 10 "event credits" which is priced at $14, however, we would add 10 extra "event credits" because you are from a non-profit organization giving you 20 event credits which is half the cost. Unfortunately, we have to pay for our servers, bandwidth, and small staff to maintain the services. Call us at 773-793-9682 (ask for Vincent) for more info.
