Have you tried.....

e commerce sites for you portfolio? A friend of mine has been using Zenfolio for years and he's been urging me to get a page up for months now. I opened a free two week trial yesterday and loaded a few pix up. I found the site slow and bulk loader not working but maybe as a trial version that's all I get? Interested to hear your experiences. I know the Pro's will say a totally scratch built site is the only way to stand out from loads people using a similar service but I can not afford a programmer/designer so please keep the conversation to services that allow you to display and sell images.

If your are interested in seeing my site here is the URL.

Thanks,

No but will have a look into these as well.


I've also found that Zen will crash FireFox once in a while. I like the look and simplicity of Zen but may not be the best answer.

i use photocart, its not cheap (one off purchase but no ongoing fees, apart from what your payment process takes) but it certainly has paid for itself over the last 12-18 months.

Thanks Neil I like one off fees a lot more than ongoing def. will check this out.

its got a shed load of options, the support forum although american so a little bit delayed in response is very helpful.

I use Zenfolio, no issues to speak of in the three months I've had it.
