Central Valley Business Times interviewed liveBooks CEO Andy Patrick. Read below to see what Andy had to say about photography, the industry, and liveBooks.
Small businesses are failing to maximize the impact of their websites because they don’t understand how search engines like Google and Yahoo work, says Andy Patrick, chief executive officer of San Francisco-based liveBooks Inc., which sells customized portfolio websites and marketing software for professional photographers.
The technique is called “search engine optimization” or SEO. Most companies looking to do search engine optimization find an SEO consultant and spend thousands of dollars — again and again, Mr. Patrick says.

With the digital age in full swing, professional photographers are always looking for the next big thing, something that will give them a competitive edge in promoting their business. Creating an enticing website is one such edge. While many photographers create and manage their own sites, many more are turning to web professionals to handle the job.

Going Live
liveBooks was founded by MICHAEL COSTUROS, a photographer who recognized the need to have a website, but who also recognized the problem with actually working with a web designer to create that website. The biggest problem was that once the site was designed, four or five months later when the photographer wanted to update the site with his latest work, the designer was nowhere to be found. So Costuros created liveBooks.
Every liveBooks package comes with two parts: a personalized website and online software. “We have an in-house design staff that will build a website for you, and you’ll actually work directly with our designers so that your site reflects your business aesthetic and really is in line with your work,” says TRICIA GELLMAN, VP of marketing, liveBooks. “This helps the photographer build or reinforce his brand. The concept that we like to get across to them is that they actually spend a lot of time selecting the images, figuring out how they’re going to sequence their images, how they’re really going to take their body of work and use that to present who they are. We do that for every single photographer.”
