The Jump Start is a series of web pages and an associated email series that provide the information to design and order your first SharedInk hand crafted photo book.
Who will benefit from the Jump Start program:
If you are new to professional photo book and album design
You'll want to to spend a little time to be sure you understand each concept before moving to the next. If you don't you could get your book completely designed and figure out you missed an important concept and need to change the entire design.
If you are a new customer with previous album and photo book design experience
This will go quickly. Once you get our templates or specifications, choose a book size and cover type, you'll be off and running. You should find our ordering process straightforward.
If you are a customer that hasn't ordered in a while
Bounce through the series and dig in if there's something you don't understand. Expect a few quick "oh yeahs" as our process hasn't changed, but there may be a few new things in here for you.
