Domains and sub-domains

/0 Comments/in , /by

after domain registration finished, you could have

website, visiting by domain

business email, setting by domain DNS control.

Of course, xxx@yourname.com looks more professional and decent than gmail, hotmail which are free to everyone.

Sub-domain, yes, this is quite important. Once you have top domain for your formal website, you may set one sub-domain for your management software.

For example, members.yourdomain.com is for online CRM, and your website is www.yourdomain.com

NO extra cost for sub-domains generally.

Please go to the dashboard to set the DNS resolve to our hosting.

we may help you to do that if you feel very trouble about that.

Perhaps it is not possible you could register .com,.net which are too popular, please turn to some domain with countries, eg. com.au, .co.nz.

Or you still want to be international? try some professional extensions.

eg..photo, .photography, .studio, .design, .auto, etc.

Hopefully you have sufficient budget to register all of them!

 

 

Some pre-settings(Tax and Date format)

Order/Contract Number and Prefix

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In order to manage the files, many good studios has strict rules for file naming and archives.

Interestingly, those rules from different companies merge together and make similar without rehearsal.

For example, pictures archived by Year-Month-Day, no matter what countries you are from, even your culture uses dd-mm-yyyy.

The common sample: for computer default sort by name, eg.201802424jackychan is the client folder name showing the shooting date and client name.

IT programme file name: English letter, all small case, numbers, and underscore_ and hyphen-

Using this rule assuming the photography studio has own hosting space for photo sharing.

 

Some common examples for contract numbers.

which showing the abbr. for companies, eg. lw, zy, fm.

Date format, eg. 20180421 or 180421

extension: to avoid repetition, because you may create more than one contract in same day. Then lw-ph180421-16x and lw-ph180421-2j8 stand for two different contracts.

Random combination of letters and numbers.

All those rules are for one purpose, you are able to grasp the maximum information at the peep of the contract number without checking the details, you do not have open the contract , or double click the pictures.

for example, the picture name: 201802424jackychan_peak0125.jpg, you can tell the date, the client, and the location, very good for after service.

There are many free software can batch rename, eg, Adobe Bridge.

 

The phrase for Order/Contract Number：

rdm() Random
opt(option1/option2/option3… for dropdown menu)
(lt)letter
(dg)number
any number leading the phrase, means how many digits.在这些函数前面如果有数字，就是表示位数
Slash/, choose one
Plus+, both

Case not sensitive

Everything in the brase() will convert automatically.

So if your number is ph180301-57N, then format is
[opt(ph/vd/pv/ex)][yymmdd]-[3rdm(lt+dg)]

[opt(ph/vd/pv/ex)] choose one from ph/vd/pv/ex as prefix
[3rdm(lt+dg)] 3 digit combination of letters and numbers
