What to use to make a photo website that also has a shopping cart?

9 years 4 months ago #409643 by Orlando Bohland
I want something that I can easily update photos on and have a blog side of it.  In my gallery, or somewhere on the site I would like to have a shopping cart so I can try to sell some prints.  I have done some searches and know Smugmug, Zenfolio, and Redbox rank high in Google paid searches.  

This is my first website, so I want to see what other photographer recommend.  I do want the site to work on cell phones and tablets too.   

Thanks for the help.  - Orlando

Well you picked a couple good ones.  I have never heard of Redbox (isn't that like movie rentals?), but I know Smugmug and Zenfolio.  Honestly those are the two big ones, and they have shopping cart features.

 Are you selling prints or do you have wedding or portrait business?

You named the big ones.  Honestly from a customer service stand point.  I would just stick with one of those and play the safe card.

Thanks for confirming this.  You mind me asking what payment gateway you all use?
