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,
