Allard One's photostream  

Finally have my own site allardschager.com up and running. Already claimed the url over a year ago but never got around to find an (easy) way to actually make a website. Because to do it right you either need a lot of money (to let someone else make it) or a lot of time (to learn the tech).

Anyhow, about a month ago I accidentally discovered viewbook.com; a place where you can create, manage and share your online portfolio. I signed up for a trial account and from day one I absolutely loved the concept. I didn't know making your own website could be so easy, fulfilling and rewarding!

Viewbook offers so much features it's unbelievable: fullscreen slideshows, sharing options through social media, compatibility with iOs devices, selling prints through the Fotomoto plugin, password protected albums etc etc. And you can update and manage your site online, no special software needed. Ideal for a website-making-newbie like me ;)

Let me know what you think of my site, thanks in advance!
