Matt Laur Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 <p>Smugmug or Zenfolio are good candidates.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_singkol Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 <p> Wow I actually have never seen this article and I must say that I'm impressed. I was aware of flickr and Zenfolio, but there are some incredible sites on this list. </p> <p>Which ones do you guys use and what are your experiences? </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefan_zabel Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 <p>Hi Tinamarie, most of the online portfolio services mentioned in Mike's first link are a little bit more for sharing photos as well as being a place to store your images, although some do have a selling facility bolted on. They don't always look super professional either, or offer a fully functioning website as well as the portfolio element.</p> <p>But the first 2 mentioned - Zenfolio and Photoshelter - offer the lot. They combine your website and online ordering and viewing service, and in some cases incorporate a blog too. Another one to check out is <a href="http://www.photobiz.com/">http://www.photobiz.com/</a>.</p> <p>I really like <a href="http://www.zenfolio.com/">http://www.zenfolio.com/</a>. The website templates look excellent, the absolute top package is only $250/year which also allows you to integrate your workflow with a selection of pro photo labs too, and storage is unlimited.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wescowley Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 <p>I have used both Zenfolio and Smugmug. Currently use Zenfolio. Either would be a good choice.</p> <p>Wes</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_johnson40 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 <p>I just wanted a simple cheap website. I choose to create my own site to save money. Most webhosting sites have tools to make simple portfolio sites. I use <a href="http://www.nethost23.com/">www.nethost23.com</a>. It has pretty good templates that are good for portfolios. But there are other cheap places as well. Don't feel that you need to use an Art specific host, you'll usually pay extra.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqualarue Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 <p>Tinmarie, if you don't mind a little extra work then www.<strong>clikpic</strong>.com is a super professional website that does what you want, the are also a lot cheaper than photoshelter. Photoshelter offers you tremendous support and tutorials on all aspects of selling and search engine techniques, photography tutorials and more, clikpic does not do any thing like this which is why it is cheaper. But I have used clikpic and they are excellent and trustworthy, excellent support for constructing the website and a two week free trial nothing diminished. This is my twopenneth for what it's worth. Success.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
