Schoolfocus
From the group that brought you "School Days" comes the new era in school photography. For the past 60+ years the school picture business has remained virtually unchanged, without an image of difference to meet consumers' demands. Limited choices, long delivery, and antiquated systems have characterized an industry that is rich with tradition and popularity. Bringing the school picture business current is long overdue.
With over 25 years of experience in the business, Schoolfocus has built a free suite of web-based tools for photographers. The popularity of photo sharing web sites has provided the technology to consumers that now exists in the school business. Parents have told us they want more choices, instant viewing, and the ability to share electronically. Our uploading, delivery and storage system saves the photographer time, increases profits, while better serving their customers.
