Confused by options? Uncertain about how to combine tools and platforms into a flexible, scalable and lasting web presence?
I'll explain it all and recommend the route best suited to you.
Your images are unique. Your website should be too. Build it with WordPress with art buyers and photo editors in mind.
Fully self-editable slideshows and iPhone/iPad compatible, of course.
Add web delivery, licensing, print sales and online archiving by seamlessly integrating PhotoShelter pages.
A must-have for professional photographers, if you ask me.
Define a Search Engine Optimization strategy, boost your website's ranking and learn how to keep attracting more Google love coming over time.
Organize your multi-user photo library in an efficient and cost-effective way while keeping it publicly or selectively accessible. Ideal for stock agencies, corporations and event organizers.
On-going care for our website so that you no longer have to worry about updates, getting tweaks done and optimizing settings. Peace of mind in a can.

It means that, in addition to lines of code, I provide recommendations, explanations and tutorials throughout. My goal is for you to have the most effective marketing tool possible and the skills to maintain it.
Absolutely. All my websites include user-friendly admin pages that let you easily edit content, menus, slideshows and more.
I take care of my clients. If you get stuck, have a question, need a simple modification or if something is not working as it should, I'll solve it at no extra cost.
No. When Flash is used (for good looks) it is embedded in html/css with an html5 fallback. SEO and Apple device compatibility preserved.
Yes. And your images will look fantastic thanks to the best mobile device slideshow tool available.
No. But you should have big images, simple navigation and a clutter-free design.
My websites are search engine optimized (code & content) in accordance with best practice methods. Google "photojournalist New York" if you don't believe me.
I don't have one because each project is different. I can tell you I charge by the project, not by the hour, so that you don't keep paying for every addition. The project is over when you are happy with it. Post-delivery support, tweaks and advice are included free.
I am a Certified PhotoShelter Consultant.

Probably. Besides building full websites I give 2-hour phone consultations ($250). Ask me anything, even to make a quick fix to your site.
digitaltechparis was exactly what I hoped it would be. David was clear, concise, conscientious and a pleasure to work with. He made something that seemed a bit overwhelming to me far more manageable and almost easy. Terrific work.
The archive you created for me is great, and has really helped grow my business. If you'd ever like a testimonial from me, please don't hesitate to ask.
Been working on the new photo website with @dbrabyn. Great guy I can't recommend enough!
His sites not only look good as portfolios, they make the web really work for the photographer, adding a whole new dimension to business.
You are truly amazing. Life saver. I have never had a web expert be so responsive and so helpful in all my career!!
Thanks for creating a beautiful site and being so patient and thoughtful all along the way!
Have you tried Symbolset? A nifty symbol font that allows you to add social media and other icons to your website by loading a font instead of images. It loads fast, looks good and is easy to set up if you know a little html. See them in use at the bottom of this page or on my photojournalism website.… read more.
Photography is personal. Your images are what they are because you took them. In short, you’re an author. As you may know given the right information Google will highlight authors in it’s search results. The good news is you can make that happen for your PhotoShelter galleries by adding a snippet of code to your manually customized PhotoShelter pages (you… read more.
Remember blogrolls? Those lists of recommended links to other websites usually placed in the sidebar used to be ubiquitous. You don’t see them as much nowadays. And that’s a good thing. They are bad for your website in many ways and should be left in the 1990s where they belong. Some argue that providing your visitors with a list of… read more.
FYI, those sweet-but-slightly-weird comments you get on your blog are fake. I see these comments on sites all the time and you probably have too but may not have noticed anything particular about them. They look more or less normal. They’re always positive, often enthusiastic even. And who doesn’t like to see that someone out there enjoyed your post so… read more.
I'm an Englishman in New York. After growing up in France, studying in England and working in a bunch of developing countries, I moved to New York City in 2004.
I am also a working freelance photojournalist so if you can't reach me behind the computer, I am probably out shooting for a client. Or cycling.
J'ai grandi et étudié en France. N'hésitez pas à me contacter en français.
