Programming Breakthrough

360Bikers.com has received several submissions to do the interactive web site. The new site will contain an automated system for basic ads using still photos uploaded by the client. The competitive pricing and extended display of the basic ad will help move 360Bikers.com to the forefront of Show-&-Sell motorcycle sites. The site will also feature an ordering system for 360-degree motorcycle views. A drop-down menu will show cities and regions with photographic offices partnered with 360Bikers.com. Clients will be able to order the 360 package, pay for it, and set their appointment at one stop. The client then takes the motorcycle to the 360Bikers's partner office where the photoshoot is done. Approximately 20 pictures are taken to create the web-based 360-degree interactive page for the client. The client also gets a high-resolution CD version of the 360 and an 8x10 print photo. The packages offered by 360Bikers.com exceed the dynamics of any other site like it. There will also be a list of upcoming shows where riders can take their bikes to get 360-degree packages at discounted show rates. Changes are scheduled to appear early February. An announcement will be posted on this blog.

Hold Up!

An important part of our progress is the custom motorcycle rotator. This device rotates our motorcycle at specific increments during the photography session. While we have contacted fabricators and even started working with a welder/fabricator, progress is very slow. We are anxious to start and have begun looking for alternative solution providers. Here is our Phase I Photo Test. Phase II will show the rotator in action.
