Do-it-yourself Website Thumbnails?

In our experience, those who decide to go the route of building their own in-house platform eventually end up looking for a service provider. Until ShrinkTheWeb, however, there were no reliable and cost-effective alternatives. Now, ShrinkTheWeb gives you a choice; a viable feature-rich alternative to the Do-It-Yourself nightmare. We leverage our substantial experience and resources to deliver a cost-effective solution no matter how large or small your needs may be.

Our service's goal is to make it worthwhile to outsource website screenshots. We listen, so let us know if you think of a reason why we are not meeting that goal. Still thinking of building your own website thumbnail system? Here are a few considerations:
