Best site to start a photography website business

[Marcos_Emerico]

I know my way around Joomla just a *little*. I looked around just the other day (no luck) for a stock photographer friendly template (the ability to easily ((somewhat anyway)) upload my hundreds of photos), and with a shopping cart flexible enough to handle the various sizes and 2 license options (6 different sizes, 2 license options, 3 print sizes PER photo). And of course, nice lookin'. Any suggestions?

Hostgator for hosting (they called me to confirm my order, I felt so special)

Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, or just go balls to the walls barehands style; ultimate control.

Hi Marcos,

Here are a few to check out:

Photography Orders - Photography Shopping Cart Script, Online Photo Proofing Software for photographers

Photocart - Pictures Pro - Photography Shopping Cart | Online Proofing | Photo Cart

Cheers,

Luke

I'll give my thumbs up to Photocart, WebLuke's suggestion - have used it for a while. I also did a 2 week trial with Squarespace recently, who have some really good gallery and shopping cart features. I would use them in the future but didn't need to invest in another site just yet. So they're worth a quick look. I tend to think that Wix are best for people who want a no hassle free site that looks cool. But they do have upgrades which I'm sure are worth exploring.

Oh I usually just build my own templates. I usually have a look in mind and work towards that look.
