Summer is here. That means sunny days, ice cream cones, baseball, and (here, at least) half-naked people playing frisbee in the park.

To celebrate, we're announcing an extended Summer sale on all website designs. The details:

All premium sites are now only $500

All standard sites are now only $200

No coupon code required. The new price is automatically reflected when you sign-up.

This special will be good through Labor Day–but don't wait too long. Now's a great time to update your web presence and start booking those '09 gigs.

One of the cool features of NextProof is that you can define "Featured Images" for any wedding or portrait gallery. This allows visitors to jump directly to your best images.

But, you can do more with Featured Images. You can turn on a slideshow that is presented the first time any visitor views your event.

This week, we just added the ability to embed that slideshow anywhere. When you blog a wedding or portrait session, you can embed a slideshow of featured images right in the post. The slideshow will link to your NextProof proofing gallery, allowing visitors to immediately jump to the images and order prints.

Here's an example:

If you want to get rolling with the coolest online proofing service around (according to me), visit NextProof.com and sign up. It's free for 30 days, so there's no risk. If you're in the market for a website, we also have half a dozen lifetime accounts left. Don't worry, unlike your mother-in-law, being stuck with us forever is a good thing :)
