What website builder do you use to sell prints?
Sep 8, 2019 16:15:33 #
Call me crazy but I think I want to build a website and sell prints of my work. What site builder are you using and what do you like and dislike about it? I don't anticipate a lot of sales right away, so I want a site I can understand and one that will grow with me. Do I pay for a site or are the free ones all right? I want to print and send them out myself.
ANY advise would really be appreciated!

Start with a Google search about how to sell photographs and they will give you a long listodf options. I used to use smugmug, which you can try for free on a low tier to see if you like the posting and web page building functions. And you don't have to sign up for a trial period that will automatically start charging you if you get distracted by other responsibilities.

Zenfolio. I have an ecommerce selling portal, but I have never sold a print where I didn't drive the prospect to the site by means of a personal contact. I did SEO optimization and all the right things.
Zenfolio has unlimited storage with their ecommerce levels, and a blog feature.

I have been using SmugMug for years for photo organizing, backup, and for sending links to friends for downloading images. I don't charge for this, but they do offer a portfolio plan that permits selling. Here is s link to my site: https://www.greenwayphotovideo.com
In addition to the SmugMug cost, they link with GoDaddy where you set up your personal domain and pay them for that. The cost at GoDaddy is not bad and includes personal email like: roger@greenwayphotovideo.com
To be clear, this is a hobby for me, I am not a professional photographer.

Rather than building your own, use one of the established photo-selling sites.

SmugMug photo organization question
Do keywords, ratings, etc carry over from Lightroom?
