Hi All,

Its been a while since i have posted. I am wondering if anyone would be able to help point me in the right direction. I am looking to see if there are any companies that people use for hosting proofing Galleries for clients to access and that can be tied into my own website. I am limited by the hosting space i have available on my normal website and would like to know if there are any companies out there that allow you to upload proofing galleries for clients to view their photo’s

Hope you can help

Thanks

Justin

Zenfolio allow you unlimited uploads. Costs €100 per year ($100 if you go through US site!!) but you can upload what you want and you can also sell from it. You are charged a small percentage also of what you sell.
Another one is Photocart which is very similar to Zenfolio but it costs $329 as a one off fee and no recurring annual fee. I believe it’s design is more customisable so it can be integrated into your website better so it all looks the same and there is no charge on what you sell so every penny is yours.
Smugmug is another but this does not allow you to self fulfill orders but other than that it’s very similar to Zenfolio.
I use Zenfolio and if you decide to go down that route then use my referral code to get yourself another $10 off so it’s only $90. You can have a look at my website and see how it works.
