![]() Within minutes I had set up a site on jAlbum by transferring all our artists' work across onto its platform. So we decided to give it a go with a 30 day free trial. JAlbum rose above many others, due to their customer testimonies initially. My apprehensions where soon unfounded though. However, jAlbum’s website seemed to point it towards a more photographers tool rather than an art licensing tool so I was unsure whether it’s more photographer-based application might suit what we were after. ![]() Initially we invested in a well known Adobe art/museum portfolio software suite that became so expensive to buy in different modules to track and display our art (and who did not reply to any of my messages/emails - presumably as we were not a museum, nor a larger organization buying into their higher end services).Ī few web searches put me in the direction of jAlbum. What made you choose jAlbum in favor of the many alternatives that exists today? However, the constant CSS tweaks and the development of responsive formats of tablets, screen variations (duplicating imagery for said formats) played havoc with my very basic ‘html’ skills, so I sought about searching for something more professional and less time consuming. We had a very basic ‘html' (‘Dreamweaver’ published) site that allowed both a platform for my wife to demonstrate her art of her artists in person (while attending her international art shows), and also demonstrate remotely via her website. ![]() At the time, some art shows in the US relied heavily on all their art being printed onto A3 sheets for licensing and outright purchase, but others started graduating into soft ‘lightbox’ or even 'PowerPoint' collections of art that could then be hosted onto websites. Yes indeed, I believe we came across jAlbum as we were on the search for some online publishing software for a small collection of art projects that Gerry and her artists were involved with, while communicating with some of her clients in the USA. I’ll ask him to jump in here as he’s the better man in letting you know about his thoughts on jAlbum: and I know he has enjoyed using it over the last few years - It’s has been more than 8 years now that we have been using it. My husband looks after our website, accounts, marketing, etc. We have built up strong relationships offering a very flexible, professional and fast delivery of their art projects whether it is with regards stationery, home decor, ceramics, fabrics, wall art, flags or giftware: Our clients are numerous throughout the world and have become good friends after visiting them through international art shows in the USA and Europe. And in fact, most of my artists also have the very same pedigree of starting their art/design careers with the numerous international ceramic companies based at the time in The Potteries. My background is in the ceramic industry, thus the reason for my move to The Potteries in Staffordshire. I am originally from a small town in Northern Ireland called, Lurgan, situated right at the bottom right hand corner of the biggest lough in the United Kingdom Lough Neagh. We have been in operation for 12 years this year, and we produce art for some of the biggest international greeting card, home decor, stationery companies across the world. We represent 6 incredible artists who are also my very best friends, which is a wonderful bonus. Gerry Murray Design & Licensing are a very small art design and licensing agency based in the beautiful Potteries region of Staffordshire, UK.
