PhotoMission is the recognized leader of stock photography used by Christian publishers, designers, worship leaders and multimedia professionals. Since its founding in 2002, the company has worked cooperatively with Christian photographers around the world to provide customers with captivating visuals. In addition, PhotoMission provides its photographers with one of the highest commission rates in the stock image industry.
In the spring of 2009, PhotoMission invited Spoke to redesign the company’s brand, and build a world-class web presence that would allow qualified photographers to easily join the site and upload images—while helping customers explore and purchase images in a secure environment. Development of a new company logo was completed quickly at the beginning of the project in order to provide a rallying point for the project team. The site was built using a combination of the CodeIgniter Open Source PHP Framework, WordPress and the PayPal API for payment processing.
The site launched in December 2010, and also features an inspirational blog—including this launch day post—written by PhotoMission’s founder.
