Can others edit my Photos
Photos OK to edit
I do wedding photography professionally. When I started this business, I had a Zenfolio website. It was pretty basic. And slow.

Last summer, I bought a Wordpress template and set up a site hosted by GoDaddy. It's faster, and the layout looks more professional. I can do fullscreen galleries, which is both a pro and a con, because if the user sets the aspect of the window too wide and short, it cuts off heads.

This summer, my site got hacked, and I had to rebuild it. 2 days of work. And stress. Now that it's rebuild and I've been looking at it with a critical eye, I think the pictures don't look as sharp as I would prefer. They definitely look sharper before I upload them than after. I tried all different ways of compressing them, but I'm still a little disappointed. I still have the Zenfolio site to sell prints.

Does anyone use Photoshelter? I'm looking at the $30/month Standard account. I would probably need to keep my Zenfolio, because I like the ordering. That's another $100/year.

I want a site that is:
Easy to set up
Allows me to do fullscreen galleries
Able to show photos in a clear, high resolution
Loads fast.

Thank you,
 
I've been using Photoshelter for 4 years and it is the easiest site I've ever used. They have a wide variety of templates that can be changed with the click of a button. If you have any questions they are easy to get in touch with and they are always adding updates that make things easier. I've never had any problems with them. I kept my site simple and functional for everything that I need. If you're interested in having a look at it. www.imagecommunications.ca
