I think the site has turned out awesome and can't wait to share it with everybody.<BR/><BR/>@christopher <BR/>I totally agree that sometimes stock photography does the job, and does it well. One of the issues we found for us while looking for stock photos that portrayed Maine was that it was all lighthouses. MSCU is nowhere near the coast and doesn't have a field of membership that is near the coast so we wanted to stick with photos of places inside our field of membership. <BR/><BR/>What we did was opened up a small contest for employees to take photos of the local area and submit them. We got some really great shots and are hoping to move the photo contest idea to the membership and let them submit photos to be used on the site with attribution to the photographer. <BR/><BR/>@elaine <BR/>Congrats on your successful launch! Just wondering, how did you go about doing a public review?Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06274411176815029103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886052053407108372.post-75998225778321263972008-07-29T18:03:00.000-04:002008-07-29T18:03:00.000-04:00I hope you are having fun!

We just launched <A HREF="https://www.twinstarcu.com" REL="nofollow">our new site</A> (I want to use more photos, we just don't have enough), and it was exciting & nervewracking. <BR/><BR/>If you're not already planning on it, I highly recommend a public preview. I did that for a month with our redesign and got some fantastic helpful early feedback. Plus I think it's just a courteous thing to do. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1886052053407108372.post-67961592368304554002008-07-29T12:11:00.000-04:002008-07-29T12:11:00.000-04:00I love the idea of using your frontline staff in i...I love the idea of using your frontline staff in images on the Web site. Stock photos can be great, but not when your member sees the same photos on your Web site, the local bank's brochures, and MetLife's annual report.
