This is your site.  You control what your customers have at their hands.  From sizes, prices, finishing and forms of payment, this is your online studio gallery and you are free to do with it whatever you choose!

 How do you get started?  The first step involves providing CCL with some simple information, for which you may need the assistance of your web developer.  Two things are needed:  Header/Footer links and Subdomain name.  As described below, you will need the IP address to set up the subdomain.

Gallery appearance -

• Matching the header and footer to your existing website will give your customers the  added security of not being redirected from site to site.  Though they truly are, it will not appear as such!

Subdomain identification -

• Yourstudio/gallery/main – something specific to you and this software is a good example of where to start.
• Technical Information  (pass this on to whomever maintains your website) In order to create a site using your subdomain address, you must point the subdomain to our address using an advanced DNS settings to create a record in DNS.  The IP address for the record is 208.42.250.70
• The URL for your site will then be subdomain.domain.com/subdomain for example:  gallery.cclphotoimaging.com/gallery.  This can be inserted on a page in your website to allow your customers to seamlessly go from your site to the gallery.

 Again, your web developer may offer suggestions more to your liking.

 Once we receive your information, we can get the set-up process started. 

• Initial ‘gallery’ creation
• Email with the IP address and password – allows you to connect you to your gallery
• Customer packet from us - a brief tutorial helping you through your end of the set up, including the uploading process 

 We look forward to helping you get started and will do our best to make the experience an enjoyable one.  Once your gallery is open for business, we’re sure you and your customers will appreciate the convenience of being able to shop on-line!
