Photography Website Creation

[Tobyh]

Some great advice and info on here, convinced me it was time to get myself into gear and organise mine.

I plumped for Zenfolio and can't fault it so far. I haven't done huge uploads but am more than happy with the outcome. Very easy to use and fast response to a tech issue I asked on their forums.

Link is in my sig, always happy for any constructive criticisms. Best viewed using the slideshow option for anyone that looks.

Thanks in advance.

I started a Zenfolio trial the week before last. Zenfolio is excellent but, unfortunately, as I am out of work, I can't afford the fee at the moment.

I would recommend 000webhosting.com. I am using their hosting at the moment, they provide templates and are very easy to use. You can also upload your own content, if you want to build your own designed site offline.

I was at a local (small!) Craft Fair recently and a chap called Cheng Yan was there selling his photos - either framed or mounted and he was doing a roaring trade. He has a web site and sells through there as well. I wouldn't like to say how much it cost him to originally set up his business but he seems to make enough now to travel the world photographing wildlife and landscapes. If you have a look at his site it might give you an idea of what to charge etc. It's Cheng Yan Gallery

Hope this is helpful.
