Any website builders more flexible than Zenfolio?

[Gary Coyle]

You did tell them that you get credit too when they use your code I presume...?

When I signed up I used a code given to me by PM by someone who had given me advice on Zenfolio both on thread and via PM and who clearly stated their own interest in passing on a discount code. I felt as they had helped me it was fair to use their code and give something back to them too.

Boring

How do you guys actually sell sessions on there.. and gift vouchers.. i sell quite a few vouchers but can't seem to find a pretty way of offering them?

I want to basically make it easy and attractive, if that's possible.

Ignore me i've solved it by embedding code from my other site into the page.

Ive been looking to set up a Zenfolio Website for months, every time i free trial i find the setting up of the site just puts me off, its just over simple and confuses me... i cant even work out how to choose a decent template haha

I use Photoshelter, and despite the problems with their recent 'upgrade', I like them.

They have a 'custom' option in their templates which gives you a good amount of control, but like there's no getting away from needing to know some CSS/HTML to use it.

The thing is that there will always be a limit as to what can be done, because the sites need to function within their overall framework.

...also, I self-fulfil my orders so the print partners on offer are irrelevant. Like many others on here I use DSCL for prints.

The other thing about self-fulfilment is control. I don't want to perfect every image I upload. I do a basic Lightroom job and upload at 600x400px. Saves a huge amount of disc space and upload time.

That size is fine for clients to see and then photo orders get the full edit treatment and then sent to DS Colour.
