You might know SmugMug is a great option for hosting and selling images or that we have recently partnered with SmugMug to provide a proofing solution for our sites. But did you know they also have an amazing community program called the SmugMug User Group (SMUG), that meets in cities all over the world?
Smugs are face-to-face meetings where photographers meet and talk shop, hear about new technologies, techniques, etc. For more info you can visit, their site, their blog, or find a Smug near you.
Starting with Southern California and the Bay Area, we will be starting to attend local Smug groups for SEO & Branding workshops and will be able to provide some in-person product demos as we setup people’s sites. It will be a unique opportunity to learn some great techniques for building your website, using SmugMug and how the two can work together.
