We’re happy to announce our Website of the Month winner for July 2017 – The Best Photobooths<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Providing photobooths for events such as weddings, parties, and special events, The Best Photobooths uses a simple parallax site to make an impact. With large aspirational imagery, the key information is easily accessible while the site stays very visual in nature.<\/p>\n

We talked to Chris Goodchild, owner and maker of the site.<\/p>\n

What is The Best Photobooths and what does your business do?<\/em><\/p>\n

Between us, we have over 20 years of expertise in customer service and make it our priority to ensure our clients have the best photobooth experience with us.<\/p>\n

Our prop box goes as deep as Mary Poppins’ bag and is constantly growing. From bowler hats to blow-up microphones, sunglasses to signage – the best prop box will cater for any event.<\/p>\n

Through state-of-the-art software combined with video messaging, we also have something we call “Magic Photos”, which bring our clients’ photos to life. It’s a very cool bit of software which you can see in this video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We like to think this makes us a little different to other photobooth companies.<\/p>\n

How does the site support and drive your company’s goals?<\/em><\/p>\n

Our brand is extremely important to us, from our high-end photobooths to our uniform to even our office notepaper. It all has to work together.<\/p>\n

So when it came to the website, we really felt it needed to project a fun, creative, and professional outfit too.<\/p>\n

We want our prospective clients to be able to find everything on one page, and that’s proven extremely successful. The addition of our live chat function has also been a great hit – we love being able to chat to our clients in real time and answering the questions they have.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

What would you say the website’s personality is?<\/em><\/p>\n

Friendly, cheeky, playful, approachable, but still professional. We tried to make it representative of what you’d get when you meet us.<\/p>\n

It’s the digital personality of the people that make up the company!<\/p>\n

When you designed the website, did you design with the customer in mind or did you have a fixed idea on how you wanted to portray your brand online?<\/em><\/p>\n

Being the customer as well as the website designer, I knew exactly what we wanted. Every business needs a mobile-friendly website, but not every website pulls it off, and that was a major part of how I designed the site.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

What is your favourite thing about the website?<\/em><\/p>\n

It looks totally different from any other photobooth site I’ve seen. It’s hard to look different in such a crowded market, but I feel our brand and website achieves this.<\/p>\n

I particularly like our logo – it’s fun, it stands out, and it’s transferable. We have it on our uniforms and letterheads and it identifies us really well.<\/p>\n

What do you think makes your site different from the competition?<\/em><\/p>\n

Its look, feel, and friendly usability. We haven’t seen many photobooth websites that can compete!<\/p>\n

Do you have any future plans for the website?<\/em><\/p>\n

With more online strategies in the pipeline, the website will, of course, play a big part of business growth moving forward. Aside from that, it’s a secret!<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Thanks, Chris! And congratulations again for winning!<\/p>\n
