Thank you PT, you posted the new drone section and I got lost in videos! lol.

Back to my question I came here for.  Any of you have experience or thoughts on those all in one website services for photographers.  Like this company as example -  www.onlinepictureproof.com/  

How flexible did you find the platform and how good was the SEO?  Oh and was it easy to update.  Thanks!

Never heard of them.  Have you looked at Zenfolio or SmugMug?

I don't have experience with that one, but I used to use Smugmug. It was nice for the convenience part - I set up a store easily enough. But I'm no web designer and I ended up getting rid of smugmug in favor of a professionally designed one. That cost a pretty penny, but it works better for my needs.

OnlinePictureProof is out of the UK. I'd look at the Contact info. before anything else to see who/what the company is.

Their testimonials are from websites? magazines? that I've never heard of. So for me they're meaningless. If it's not mentioned or advertised in any well known photography magazines I'd have to wonder.

I personally use Squarespace for my personal use. I find that it covers all of my needs, and the formatting is quite intuitive and attractive.

I'd definitely vet any website services very thoroughly. Look for features like how much storage and bandwidth you're allowed, the templates that are available and how easy it is to customize them, the kind of support they offer (i.e. email, chat, phone, etc.), and other features like blogging and e-commerce. Big names like SquareSpace and Wix are good choices, though they aren't geared specifically towards photographers. I've never used Smugmug, but it sounds like others here have liked it. There's a lot of crap website builders out there, so just be careful!
