WDWEB / MOREPHOTOS - TRAVERSE CITY BUSINESS NEWS - LOCAL TECHNOLOGY WD Web President: Michael Connors, CEO Founded: 1996 Employees: 22 1. What does your company do? We are a total web-based business that started in 1996 with our first site, www.WeddingDetails.com. WDWeb.com designs sites for small businesses such as newspapers or magazine web sites. And www.MorePhotos.com helps our photographers stand above the competition by offering a marketing, selling, and workflow solution in one service. With thousands of photographers in over 25 countries and five languages, we are a worldwide industry leading software company. Other owned properties are www.partydetails.com, www.professionalphotographysupply.com and www.labimages.com. 2. Please share your latest company successes/news. We just released a fantastic new array of flash templates, which gives our photographers some of the most appealing sites on the market. We also launched our print service with Adobe Photoshop CS-2 and CS-3, giving their users over 15 labs to choose from for their printing needs. This is our second venture with Adobe. We are working on a third. 3. What is the technology trend you’re riding/hoping to ride? Digital imaging has brought many new opportunities to the marketplace for new companies like MorePhotos, and it is changing at a rapid speed – from cameras to the web. We’re looking forward to coming up with new ways to head the next big idea. 4. What was the 'a-ha' moment, when your company's vision became clear? Two big moments come to mind: The first is when we started to make a profit; photographers were succeeding with MorePhotos. The second was when Adobe Photoshop picked us from all of our competition as being the best and made us a partner. 5. What will be one of the most significant technological or scientific breakthroughs for consumers in 2025? Everything we use will be reused or recycled and I hope that Michigan will become the leader in this for two reasons. We have huge buildings from our car manufacturing heydays, and we have an abundance of talented people ready for the next wave. We need our leaders to give companies like us a little push and great things will happen. « Back to In The Press |
