I'm looking to completely outsource album designing - both for some personal stuff, as well as for clients. I want to be able to turn over images, and have someone else design it and take care of ordering, printing, binding, EVERYTHING. I've contacted Amy about Albumesque, but I'm wondering what other options are out there - if there are any.

Thoughts? Experiences?

Amy is the only full service option that I know of!

Is close to what you are looking for. Still have to order it and don't know how you will get around that one unless you have a studio manager.

Sarah was going to go down this road but $49 Pictage design, in-house design by all the major companies, etc. put it on the very back burner. I mean - what can you as an album outsource company reasonably expect? Sarah loves to do & design albums & we know most of the major companies as far as ordering process but ... well let's put it this way it's a very custom to you solution so you'd be best off def talking to Amy or even Sarah and seeing if they do or will do what you want.

Okay, I think I can handle the ordering; I had gotten some information from them, so I will definitely look at it more closely - thanks Alisha

ali beat me to it, la-vie is for the ultimate lazy person (like us!). get absolutely stunning albums without any designing or more importantly changes. the more involved is tough, burn a CD and drop it in the mail. even we have no problem doing that.

Bah Humbug - it looks like their online account system is being weird. I try to log in and get a bunch of PHP errors.

try using internet explorer, i had the same problem using firefox.

Tried that. I'll try later and see if they get it fixed.
