New ArtWanted.com CD-Portfolios

OVERVIEW

    ArtWanted.com is pleased to announce our new interactive CD-Portfolios! These CD-ROMs contain an interactive slideshow of your ArtWanted.com portfolio and your contact information. You can now distribute your portfolio to friends, potential clients and galleries and really make their heads turn. Read below for the features and benefits of this new product we will be offering very soon.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

    For a small yearly fee, we will add a new option to your AW members area that allows you to build your own interactive portfolio CD-ROM in minutes. You have complete control over the look and feel of the CD and all of the content. Once you have specified what text and images you want on the CD, you simply download the self-contained file and burn it on to a CD. You can change the content, design and images at anytime during your yearly subscription period. Burn your own CDs or we can do it for a small additional charge.

WHAT WILL THE CD CONTAIN?

  • Animated splash screen with your images and text.
  • Interactive slideshow of any images from your ArtWanted.com portfolio you want to include on the CD.
  • Your name, phone number, e-mail address, website URL and any other contact information you want included.
  • Full page artist biography & photo/self portrait image.

WHAT WILL THE PRESENTATION LOOK LIKE?

    When the CD is first launched, you will be taken to an animated splash screen containing your artwork and text you have specified. After a few seconds, it will forward you to the first image in your portfolio. Random transistion effects will slide and fade in the other images from your portfolio. There is a tab/button to display all of the thumbnail images as well as the artist information. Your name will always be visible and it will be very easy to navigate.

    The great thing about this product is that you specify the colors to be used, background image, portfolio artwork to be included and the text you want to display. You have full control over how this will be look on screen and you can change it at anytime. Also, all of your images will be embedded into a single compiled file and can be watermarked, so it will be virtually impossible for others to steal your artwork from the CD.

WHAT'S THE COST?

    This is the best part! If you have looked into hiring a person or company to create an interactive portfolio CD-ROM, you know that it's quite expensive. It usually starts at around $500 and can get into the thousands very quickly. After it's done, you are then charged hundreds of dollars every time you need to make a change. Most artists can't afford something like this...so we have created a low cost solution that is just as impressive as these custom CDs. The ArtWanted.com CD-Portfolio is only $99/year and you can create, update and burn unlimited amount of CDs anytime you want!

    How is this possible? It's because you all have your images and data on our website in a common format. This application grabs what it needs to and builds the CDs on the fly. There is nothing out there that is so quick, powerful and inexpensive as the ArtWanted.com CD-Portfolio.

FREE UPGRADES!

    Your annual subscription for the CD-Portfolio service includes free updates and upgrades duing your subscription period. This means that any new layouts, themes and features we create in future versions will instantly be available to you as a CD subscriber.

INTRODUCTORY PRICE!

    We are still working on the CD product development and we will launch this new service on or before Aug. 1st, 2004. For a limited time you can pre-order this product at half the retail price - that's only $49 to build your own interactive portfolios for a year! This price will go back up to our regular price once the product officially launches.

CD-ROM PRICING

    Although this service will allow you to burn your own CDs at anytime with any CD-ROM burner, you may want someone else to do this for you. ArtWanted.com will offer professional business card CDs to meet these needs for a small additional cost. The CD will be business card size and you get to decide how the label looks. You can design and upload your own graphic for the label, or use our online label wizard. We will burn, print and ship out the CDs to you within a few days of receiving the order. Here is our CD pricing that includes burning, label printing and shipping to your door:

      Quantity     Price Each     Total Price  
    5$5$25
    10$4$40
    25$3$75
    50+$2.50 

MONEY BACK GUARANTEE

    Some of you may be hesitant to pay for a product without seeing it, even at half the cost. This is why we have a money back guarantee, so you have nothing to fear. If you have pre-paid for the CD service and are not happy with the results once the product is launched, we will give you a full refund. Great price and no risk, you can't beat it!

Yes, the application is built in Flash so it's very interactive. However, we will probabaly offer an HTML version for those that don't have Flash so that they can see the images too. 99% of computers have Flash though.
