Anybody have any initial thoughts on the BluDomain HTML 5 theme thats out now?
I'm interested in upgrading my flash based website to something more web friendly. I've heard on the forum from some to stay away from Blu due to customer service issues but I've always liked the simplicity in their customization. Never had a problem with their site at all (but I also purchased it outright and host it on my own server).
I'm specifically interested in their new HTML 5 site because I'm assuming it has a host of added SEO benefits. I'm not saying I'd jump on this particular theme but with time I bet they will release more styles in the HTML 5 flavor that might fit my taste.
I actually have a pro photo blog template as well. Maybe it doesn't make sense to keep both? I've never felt the blog format feels like a true website to me but maybe I haven't seen one thats set up well?
The price is different than Blu, but if you are interested in HTML5 you should check out FolioLink's new Auckland design. You can catch a video of it here and also see different examples of the same design on this page in the website: http://www.foliolink.com/featureddesigns.asp . http://varosfoto.com - Cool stuff!
I started out hosting in 2007 with them, everything worked okay until last year I decided to take over my domain and host with another company, what a nightmare it was to work with them to get everything done properly, I even paid them their $60 for transferring the website. Up until last year I would say they are "okay", after my experience that extended into 2012 I would not recommend them to anyone, there are so many more wedding template companies out there who must offer better service.
I purchased a website from FlashPalette some time ago, and have been wanting to get it up and running but have had difficulties with the transition from BluDomain which I mentioned above.
One thing to realize, get on their mailing lists and if you can wait, usually all of them have some pretty big sales on their templates (sometimes 50% off or more). Prices vary all the time as well as features. There are others out there, but again, these were the ones that came to mind.
