Artist's Homepage

Hi folks,
I desperately need more control over my homepage here at Pond5. As it is now, I wouldn't be comfortable sending a potential buyer to my artist's homepage for the following reasons:

1. There's a string of keywords in the middle of the page. These keywords are for one clip I uploaded some time ago and they're only for that clip. They give an inaccurate impression that I only do space/sci-fi stuff when there's actually a huge variety in the clips I upload. I don't even really understand the need for a set of keywords in this location.

2. If I click on one of the category links below that, I only get 25 samples of that category and none of them are the ones I would choose to display there. There should be a "next page" at the bottom so that a potential buyer can see every clip in that category, not just 25 random ones. I should also be able to arrange those clips in a best-to-worst order (or any other way I think will improve sales).

These are major issues that make me reluctant to send potential buyers to my page, forcing me to wonder how many sales I'm (WE'RE) missing. If someone could get back to me and let me know if I'm missing something, that would be awesome. Thanks.

Use this link if you want your potential buyer to see your entire portfolio.
Or you can add a specific keyword or keywords such:
sunset
or
cumulus clouds

Thanks, SevArt, but I was actually hoping to send a potential 3D Animation buyer to a page where he could see all of my animation without the rest of my 2000+ NON-animation clips getting in the way and forcing them to do a lot of unnecessary scrolling or page turning. The way things are set up now just doesn't make any sense. Why the 25-clip limit for each category from the Artist's Page? Why the random clip's keyword list in the middle of the screen? Why can't I arrange the clips in the order I want? These things affect my Artist's Homepage and that's where I want to send potential buyers, not the catch-all bin. If someone sent me to their catch-all bin, I would think they had no organizational skills whatsoever and I wouldn't feel like sifting through off-topic stuff, especially if they had as many uploaded clips as I do. I hope someone will address these issues soon, otherwise there's no purpose at all to the Artist's Page.

In this moment you have two options:
1. Search for "artist:zr_media 3D animation" or "artist:zr_media (other keywords)" and send the link to the buyer
2. Make Collections for every possible category you want to promote to your buyer and send the link of collection

Hi SevArt,
That first option was what I needed. Thanks!
