1- Brief introduction of your company and the industry that your company belongs to.
Scott Chytil Photography provides professional photography for architectural, product and editorial clients.

2- How digitalbucket.net utilization helps grow your company?
I was spending a lot of time delivering files to my clients through my own website. It had problems and it was taking up too much time. Utilizing digitalbucket.net has streamlined my delivery process and it's very easy for me and my clients to use, which frees up my time for more important tasks.

3- Which digitalbucket.net feature is the most useful feature and how do you use it?
When publishing a folder for a client they see thumbnails of all the images (and files) that I have published so they know what they are downloading. The ability to upload and publish any file type also helps me get paid quickly. I upload my invoice for each job in PDF format, and I upload an HTML page the client can click on that will take them to my credit card processing page so they can easily pay the invoice. I was using a database driven system I created that was cumbersome to maintain, and using digitalbucket.net has eliminated the complexities of that old system.

4- How do you compare digitalbucket.net with similar products?
There are many web sites catering to photographers that can help them deliver images to their clients. Most of these are based on wedding/portrait workflows which don't work well for me. Most only allow image files to be uploaded, which limits their usefulness for invoicing and payment. I can also utilize digitalbucket.net's sub-account features for sophisticated clients to mimic a review and approval process when needed.

5- As an established business, what was the compelling factor in your decision to use digitabucket.net?
Storage space and file size were the two biggest reasons. With the large amount of space available through the business subscription, at a very reasonable cost, I am able to store multiple jobs for each client in digitalbucket.net without worrying about space requirements. I can also upload 50 or 100 MB files for my clients and I know they will be able to download them.

6- Any other comments you might have.
The digitalbucket.net team has been great about listening to my requests and implementing new features. For a small business digitalbucket.net offers a lot of benefits I haven't already mentioned, like branding for published folders and slideshows, multiple levels of folders for organizational purposes and sub-accounts for giving clients the ability to collaborate in the process. It's a great all-around service that really works well.
