Canned website from Photoshelter or Mix?

13 years 4 months ago #8510 by Street Shark
I am a amateur photographer and would like to set up a personal website to show case some of my better work. I have done some searches and found these to companies. I was wondering if anyone has any positive experience with either of these companies? Or if you had another company you could recommend. The website doesn't need to be anything over the top, pretty simple will work for me. Thanks for the help.

photoshelter is really expensive. It's only worth having a site through them if you sell your work or if you can afford the membership fee without it hurting your pocket. Many times I thought about joining photoshelter. I personally think photoshelter is better off for those who want to sell stock images. Photoshelter using software so that you know exactly what today's average sale price is on stock images, so you know what to sell your photos at. You can buy this software for your own use.

I use Zenfolio. It allows you to create galleries. Sell your photos on prints and other products. You can set the galleries up so that clients can buy packages you offer, clients can have a password protected gallery. The client buys the photo on your site, Zen then have Mpix print and ships the photo to your customer. You receive a portrait of the sale.
