Im ready to build a website.... now what?
Where do I start? Does anyone recomend a particular website that will assist in building a personal site? I've looked into vista, or webs online, but I would love to have some real opinions before I dive into this. Thanks so much!
Try weebly.com . You can use it for free, and upgrade to a Pro account later with your own domain name if wanted. The on-line site builder is among the best, including WYSIWYG editors... and SO much easier than hand coding. It has all the features required for taking orders, and has numerous templates to choose from. A big plus for a professional is it's not a "community" place like standard photo-hosting sites, yet a pro account costs about the same.
I highly recommend it.

OK, a couple people mention weebly. I know nothing about them.
David mention Zenfolio and I agree as I use them.
Zen can give you everything you need. You can use it as a gallery, a place for people to contact, schedule shoots, have password protected galleries and people can order right off the site. If you are offering packages, you can put the packages on the site and the client can order Package A for $200. They order it, Zen will print/ship the package to the client.
You create your site using a template that is pretty customized. colors, layout, the way pictures look like (ie: pics can have frames, shadows etc.. all on the site itself)
