# The Folga photo studio's website

I'm [continuing](https://www.99rabbits.com/blog/online-bag-store-itbags) to write about sites I liked (from the point of view of development and/or business content).

> [Folga Studio](http://folgastudio.com) is a cozy, atmospheric place for your [photo shoots](http://folgastudio.com).

What I liked:

- A Google Calendar showing the studio's rental schedule.
- A gift certificate for renting the studio, a very fitting idea:

> If your loved ones suffer because they can't show off a great studio photo shoot to their relatives, on VKontakte or on other social networks, hurry to make them happy: buy our gift certificate for a photo shoot :)

- A list of equipment and a 3D plan of the studio.
- On the [/staff.html](http://folgastudio.com/staff.html) page there are photos of the staff that react cutely when you hover the mouse over them.
- The site "talks" to the visitor in a pleasant female voice, lightly and even cheerfully:

> and the ceilings in the studio reach three, sometimes even five (!) meters (in good weather)

Straight out of MacLeod's ["Avoid dinosaurspeak"](http://gapingvoid.com/ep/).

Here's how to make simple, pleasant sites, worth learning from. Bravo, [Olga](http://www.zakrevska.com/)!
