"Great for New Photographers"
What do you like best about Format? The initial setup is very easy to complete. No coding or html language to learn. Most of it is drag and drop. Creating galleries for clients is a breeze. Their customer service team is responsive and helpful. What do you dislike about Format? I wish Format would offer more templates - specifically for photographers. Some of the templates are kinda of blah. Setting up the SEO functionality can be a little confusing for a beginner. I also hope that Format ...

What do you dislike about Format? I dislike the fact that themes do not have animations or flash features. A flash intro would be a great thing to have on my site. I would also love to have more "pages" ...
