[hayley.price]

I understand this is properly asked alot so apologies for that but i am looking to create a website, I'm looking for something where i can upload my photos too and then buyers can choose there choice of prints and purchase them, then i can sort out printing, I currently do it using my Facebook but as I'm starting to do more i need something a bit more professional. I don't want to be spending £100's on hosting and such but understand there will properly be some cost any help is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance hayley.

I use Photium and Zenfolio. Zenfolio is slightly cheaper and has a huge amount of customisation you can do but can get complicated. Photium is the opposite, easier to set up but less customisation. Both good in my experience.

I'm currently with Zenfolio - I can give you a code if you want it cheaper - I'm currently in the process of moving it to a fully custom set up though.
Zenfolio is good, but it's far from perfect.

Smugmug Pro is working for me at the moment. I have used Clikpic in the past and they were very good too. Weebly are also good; I use this with my A Level students when they are setting up their online portfolios.

Smugmug or Zenfolio are the easiest to setup. Although Squarespace offers better options, but it is not cheap*

*there is a reason for that

Square space looks great. Going to give the 14 day trial a go.

We use Zenfolio too, we have the £150 package so we can control the pricing, refunds, coupons etc.
Our customers order what they want, we approve (we don't upload the full res images) by swapping for the full res file and making sure the crop works for the print size selected and approve. The partner lab prints and sends it straight to the customer. Job done
