A photo book is a story. Your story. It is an important story to tell and doing it well takes time and story-telling skill. Many people don´t have the time it takes to create a high quality book, and even of those that do, the majority lack the true ability to tell the story well. Our design service is ideal for people who want a professionally designed product but who either don´t have the time or the skills to create one by them self. We all love eating good food but aren´t necessarily the best cooks!

Designing a classy photo book requires more than just time. It requires skill in album layout, optimization of your photos, background selection, photo selection, color balancing and most importantly story telling.

We want you to enjoy taking pictures and let our experienced designers create an emotionally compelling photo book for you. All you have to do is choose a design style and our designers will work with you in creating your master piece. The best part of our service is that you are always in control: you get to review the photo book online and provide us feedback to make changes.

The design fee per page is $0.95. The personalized photo book service starts at $24.70 (26 x $0.95)for a 26 page photo book (with 50 to 100 photos). This design cost is added to the price of printing the photo book which starts at $26.95. So, a 26 page Photo book using the service would cost about $51.65. This price includes the first design and up to 3 further edits based on your feedback.

If you value an expert´s skill in designing artistic photo books and you would like to save time, we are the best service available in the market.

After the designer completes the book, you will be able to review it online. During your review, if you feel that the design of the book is not what you want, you can easily provide comments through the online tool in a very simple and straight forward manner. Your comments will be reviewed by your designer, who will then modify your book accordingly. Within 3 working days, you will be able to review the modified design online.

Within 3 business days of sending us your photos, your customized photo book will be ready for your online review and feedback.

Once you approve the final photo book, you will receive it in 8-10 days (we need time for printing and shipping).

We have a unique and compelling "Style Board process" wherein you choose a design style that best fits the story you want told. Our master photo book designer will take your inputs as inspiration and create a completely unique photo book, customized just for you. We have 6 primary design styles and many moods within each style.

Absolutely! Our philosophy is to work with you in telling your story. We will design the photo book and show it you online.

You can then provide comments and feedback to make changes. You are always in control of the final product.

Our designers have told hundreds of stories. You simply need to tell us just a little bit about your story. Our experienced designers and story tellers have been specially trained to choose the best photos. We focus on creating a storyline that seamlessly flows from the first to last page while capturing the best emotions. Some of the selection criteria we use are:

* Emotions expressed in the photo; we like to see shining happy people
* We choose photos that best fit the story board. Every page that you turn has to make sense, like the scenes in a movie
* We don't use duplicates unless we can tell a motion story
* The quality of photo (brightness, focus, shadow detail etc)

Again, the best part is you are always in control. You will get a chance to review our selections and make changes if needed.

Yes, you can provide captions and notes for the pages in your photo book. When we have finished the first design draft for your review online, you can enter your personalized text for each page. We will lay it out with a font that matches the design spirit.

After we have designed your Photo book, you get a chance to review the photo book online. At that time, you can order multiple copies. We assure you that the finished photo book will be a beautiful representation of your story and you will be able to buy as many copies of the book as you like. They will make great gifts. And you only pay for the design fee once.

Sorry, once the design process begins, we are not able to accept additional photos. Should you really want to add photos, you will have to cancel the order and start over insuring that all the photos you need are uploaded in the beginning. The best way to prevent this is to think about which images will make the best story and insure that you include them during the upload process.

Before designing your Photo book, we design from the photos you provide. So every picture is part of a sequence. At this time we are not able to accept additional photos once the design process begins.

You will receive an email once the book has been designed and placed online. You will then have seven days to review the book. We want you to review the book when the idea for the story is fresh in your mind. Therefore, we encourage all our customers to review their book as soon as it is finished by our designers.

Over 95% of our customers are ecstatic about the results after the first design iteration and simply add captions and purchase. In the event you would like to iterate on the design, we will be more than happy to work with you to get the book right. Our designers will redesign your book on the basis of the feedback and comments provided by you. However, after thousands of books, our experience tells us that if we are not able to match your expectation in 3 design iterations, then we are not the best service for your photo book design. You can cancel your order at any time.

Once you have approved the design of the photo book and have checked-out online, the book is sent to the printer. You will then receive it 8-10 days later.

No, once you have submitted the book for redesign, you cannot give anymore comments for that version of the book. However, you will be given a chance to make additional comments once the redesign comes back.

You can easily reduce the number of pages during the review process. You can also easily modify the length of the book by requesting changes to the number of images used per page. For instance, two images per page with 100 images equals a fifty page book. With the same number of photos, you can request four images per page to be used and reduce the book to the lower limit of 26 pages. If you have provided a lot of photos and there are many left over not used in the design, then you can simply request the designer to add more photos and this will lengthen the book. The best books are usually about 45 pages in length but you are ultimately in control as long as the book contains the minimum of 26 pages.

No. At present, all your photo books will be sent to the shipping address, which you provide at the time of checkout.

No, sorry, we do not have this feature.

Yes, this is possible. Once you have purchased your book you will be able to share it.

In the order process, you can upload photos from your Picasa webalbums. We are in the process of providing this functionality for Flickr and other social media sites. Register with us and we will keep you updated about the new features we add.

You can enter the discount when you are selecting the type and size of photo book or in the shopping cart at the time of checkout.

You can cancel your order at anytime up to the time you check out and pay with your credit card. If you have problems with the book after it is received, simply contact our customer service department. Your complete satisfaction is very important to us.

In our Events and Category selections, we have covered the most popular events such as vacations, weddings, birthdays, etc. However, if you do not find a Style and Mood that matches your event, you can simply do the following:

1) choose one that is the closest match, or even the other category, and something matching your event,

2) then provide as much detail as you can in the special instructions section.

This will help us make your photo book design very specific to your event. And remember, you will always be able to provide comments during the review process and request changes.

You can only upload JPEG formatted images in our service. You can convert other file formats to JPEG quite easily through any number of tools. Your best bet is to research the methods available on the web.

The JPEG files you upload must be at least 100KB in size and can not exceed 7MB.

Please try again. If you have tried several times and the uploading process isn’t working then the issue is most likely with your machine or your internet connection. You can contact our customer service team at any time with questions as well.

Simply log-in to your account to check your order status.

Yes. You can order additional copies at any time, but you will need your original order ID.
