About the template
What is it?

With this template you will be able to generate a complete stand-alone shopping cart system for selling your photos (or any other products). The interface is any current web browser which can be used online or offline. The functions and design are highly customizable.

How does it work?

The Web/HTML gallery generator of your favorite image management software will use the EOS template to automatically generate an image gallery with an enhanced order capability. The generated gallery consists of HTML and Javascript code, so it can be viewed with all current web browsers. You can upload the gallery to your homepage or save it to a CD-ROM. Your clients can browse through the pictures and place their orders. You can enable various checkout options: print-out, save to file, local e-mail, enhanced e-mail (online) and also interfaces to secure online payment services (Paypal, 2checkout, Linkpoint, Paymate, Mal's e-commerce).

Which software does it require?

The EOS template is currently available for BreezeBrowser and iView MediaPro 2. These programs are not part of the EOS template. Support for other applications, like Adobe Photoshop CS, Adobe Photo Album, JAlbum, IrfanView or IMatch is planned. A text editor with syntax highlighting may be helpful.

What knowledge do I need?

You need to know how to generate a web/HTML gallery with your image management software. This is usually explained in the product's documentation. You do not need knowledge of HTML and javascript. All customization is done by editing text files. Though these files are in fact javascripts it's easy to understand how to modify them. Once the gallery is generated you need know how to upload it to your web server.

Who are you?

Iīm a professional software engineer, living in Vienna, Austria. My love is photography. If my photos on this website have made you think that Iīm a professional photographer I take it as a big compliment. In any way I know both sides (programming and photography) very well and hence were able to incorporate my experience into this template.

How much does it cost?

The EOS template is not free like all the other templates I offer on my homepage. It comes with a price tag of $79. That has three reasons: 1. The development of this template took much longer and it still gets improved. 2. It will help you to increase your sales, that means you will actually make money using it. 3. The price also includes support for customizing the template to your needs. That includes the design, functionality and installation.


Is there a free trial version?

Currently I don't offer a free version. The extensive online examples will help you to decide if this template is for you. In case you really donīt like it or discover any serious limitations you can request a refund within two weeks of the day of purchase.

If you already use an old version of the template and you were looking for the description page you will find most of the content on the Getting Started page.

Why should I buy this cart system?

  • The design can be adapted to your existing web site (colors, fonts, basic layout). No "copyright" or "powered by" will be shown.
  • The functions are highly customizable (slideshow, sections, pricing, comments, discount, shipping and tax options, e.t.c.)
  • It doesn't need web server scripting (Perl, PHP, CGI) - that means it also runs offline, even from a CD-ROM!
  • It is available in several languages.
  • There are no hidden or repetitive fees. You pay one time and get all the files (full source code) you need to run it on your own server.
  • You get a very good customer support and can even request new features.
