Flash can be really annoying at times. And I don't believe the iPad supports Flash yet? You can customize Photocrati's template's to your heart's content. My website doesn't even look like a Wordpress site :) I would recommend a WordPress site and use a non flash site like http://www.photocrati.com. Flash can be really annoying at times.

I agree on all accounts, and would like to add: * It's not so much an issue of HTML5 versus Flash. The bigger picture is the perception that a prestigious, successful business OUGHT to have a really, really nice looking portfolio. In a world where EVERYBODY and their puppy has a ProPhoto blog template, a custom designed portfolio page really stands out. * A standard of excellence, in my opinion, goes without saying. The tips posted here are more along the lines of things you might NOT normally think about when trying to represent yourself more professionally. But of course, delivering superb images and world-class customer service should be a given. Unfortunately I guess it isn't, these days, and a lot of people DO just focus on creating buzz / hype etc. which I think is certainly bad business and even unfair to brides. So, just make sure you cover all the bases! =Matt= Wow, I don’t know how I never saw this post before, but it’s got a ton of great info in it!

My site runs an html mirrorsite for those who don't install the flashplayer (who does that?) and an iPhone version as well as an iPad version. Most prospectives in my field will see my site on a laptop. You do yourself irreversible damage by showing unedited photos!! I am in a different industry than wedding but still have to deal with 1500+ pictures for a travelshoot or event. After 1st selection ALL remaining pictures will go through edit (RAW is rather flat and useless...like indeed raw meat on a clients plate). A handy tool next to Lightroom are the RPG keys. I have the mini wireless keys and i fly through my edit. Yes time is money, but in that time postproduction is to be calculated simply because its part of your work. If you fail to do this you really don't belong in the high end. Branding and presentation are very important but will not work if you fail on your production I agree that flash is still the most beautiful way to show your work.

I guess it's cool to dog flash ever since steve jobs did it a few months ago. Will we all have html5 sites in a few years? Probably. But the spirit of what you are saying, in my opinion, is to have a sharp and sleek way to present your images online. Right now, flash is the most accessible way to do that. It has it's limitations, but what doesn't? Great article. I guess it’s cool to dog flash ever since steve jobs did it a few months ago. Will we all have html5 sites in a few years? Probably.
