FEATURES
As a professional web designer for five years and a professional working artist for twenty, I've come to understand the web design needs of artists, craftsmen and small business owners. I've developed bpSites to address these needs affordably. bpSites is for anyone needing an easy to use, skillfully designed website presence.
IMAGE UPLOADS (See screenshots)
You'll appreciate the ability to make image adjustments. Images can easily be rotated and cropped as needed. Resizing is done automatically to your specifications. Choose from automated thumbnails or get creative with the bpSites custom thumbnail feature! A few unique features that you likely won't find in other do it yourself website services!
TINT & COLOR YOUR IMAGES (See examples)
Getting the perfect look has just been made easier! Customize any of our supplied graphics by tinting or changing their colors. Add tints to your own images or change color pics to black and white.
COLOR SCHEMES (See screenshot)
Generate custom color schemes from your logo, or image. Fast, simple & fun! An easy way to create a beautiful & cohesive look for your website. Another unique (& cool!) feature.
TEMPORARY HOME PAGE
While most other services "launch" your website as soon as your account is activated, bpSites lets you decide when you're ready. Your account has a temporary home page to post with your message while you fine-tune your website design and upload your gallery images.
PAGE OPTIONS
bpSites accounts have several pre-formatted, commonly used pages to assist you in having your site completed ASAP. Gallery, Links, Events and Contact pages are all available in multiple configurations. You can have unlimited categories to organize your gallery for easy viewing. Need a Price List or Order Form? They're automatically generated and a part of your site in just a few clicks! Ten pre-formatted pages in all, unlimited categories within your gallery - plus, you can add four additional pages with a Standard Account and unlimited pages with a Plus Account. [To Top]
IMAGE GALLERIES & IMAGE ALLOWANCES (See examples here!)
All bpSites accounts include image gallery options and the ability to have sub-categories within your gallery. Standard Accounts have an allowance of 80 images and Plus Accounts 240 images for your gallery or portfolio. Your website's gallery images can be viewed in three sizes - thumbnail, main and large pop-up. You control the image dimensions using your site's Admin area, a password protected section where you're able to easily manage your site. In addition to your account's gallery image allowance, you can also upload another two dozen images or files for use as part of your website's design or content, such as logo graphics or bio page images. If you're in need of a larger image allowance for your Plus Account you can upgrade for a fee. [To Top]
DOMAIN NAME & WEB HOSTING
If you already have a domain name, I'll help you get everything set up to work with your new bpSites account. If you don't have your name registered yet, I can take care of that for you as well. Web hosting is included with your account. There are no limits on website content (disc space) or traffic (bandwidth). [To Top]
EMAIL ADDRESSES
Your account comes with three domain email addresses (you@yourdomain.com), and includes forwarding to your existing email address at no charge. Additional email addresses are available for purchase. [To Top]
TEXT EDITOR (See screenshot)
Your bpSites has a password protected Admin Area where you manage your website. It features a Rich Text Editor allowing you to give your text "style," plus add links, insert images, even create pop-ups! All of this is done with easy to use forms - if you can fill in the blanks and click a button, you'll be on your way! [To Top]
EDITING DESIGNS & CONTENT (See screenshot)
You can make unlimited changes to your design and content, any time of the day or night. Your changes are immediately shown on your website. Design changes are made using an easy editing form complete with Visual Guide. If you wish to get into more detailed customization, choose the Plus Account for complete control of every aspect of the site design. [To Top]
ADVANCED DESIGN EDITING
The Plus Account's design editing options include the Visual Guide, Advanced Stylesheet Editor, plus for the experienced user, access to edit the actual stylesheet. [To Top]
SITE DESIGNS
Presentation is everything - I offer site designs different from the rest! Your bpSites account gives you access to a library of background graphics for use anywhere throughout your website. And if they're not the right color, you can change that yourself with a few clicks! New designs and graphics will be added on a regular basis. Custom graphics for your exclusive use, such as a header image with your logo or artwork, can be purchased.
Customization of existing bpSites designs is available. New designs can also be created through one of two options. Option A: A new Custom Design is created at your request. The design layout remains part of bpSites and is available for all to modify and use. The graphics however, are for your use only. Option B: A new Exclusive Design is created at your request. The design layout and all graphics are for your exclusive use. (Due to the nature of templates, some restrictions may apply) [To Top]
FLASH SLIDESHOWS (Now available!)
Plus Accounts have a choice of several slideshow galleries using Flash technology. See working examples of all gallery options here.

mp3 MUSIC GALLERY/PLAYER
bpSites accounts include the option of an mp3 music player (XSPF) page complete with lyrics text. Customize the player to match your site with color tinting and font colors. Includes play/pause, previous, stop, next, repeat, shuffle, mute, time display and lyrics link option. See a working example here.

WEBSITE STATISTICS
Free Webalizer Stats allow you to track site traffic on your Standard Account. Plus Accounts can be set-up with Google Analytics - a visual and informative approach to tracking your website traffic. [To Top]
RELIABLE SUPPORT
Other services may connect you with someone at Customer Support, but at bpSites you'll always be communicating with the designer, creator and programmer. Customer service is a high priority - you'll receive a prompt email response; usually within the hour and often in minutes! Another unique feature! [To Top]
USER FORUM
Forums are a great online networking resource, allowing users to trade ideas and solutions, get answers to questions and show off what they've done. Log in to bpsites.com to access the Forum, download new background images and see examples of new site designs in the works! [To Top]
