Hi Daryl

I don't have any experience with website-building myself; my son does.
He owns a business, and wanted a website in order to hopefully attract customers.
He first used a "free website builder" and ended up with a distracting ad from that company on his website.
He then switched to a "paid for" website, still built by himself, looking quite professional and without someone else's ad on his site.

They're not really free.

Google is pushing for ALL sites to install SSL encryption. https://www.google.com/search?q=google+pushing+ssl&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS794US794&oq=google+pushing+ssl&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i64l2.10672j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 It looks like your security certificate was not installed with the correct redirect. If you type your complete address with http instead of https you can get to the site. http://dnewphoto.mozello.com/ You will need to contact the web host to get it fixed. Fixing the redirect is not hard for them. I help my friend on his business site. He used godaddy for his host. If I was going to switch , the paid service I would use is bluehost, and they have a 30 day trial.

I've been with Interwrx since around 2001 or so. Another one which has been very reliable is iPower. I've two servers there and hardly a problem.

I'm using a Shopify store front and it is quite good. They've excellebt customer service,and so does the company 0 Out Of The Sandbox - which developed my paid theme.

I tried SmugMug for a while, but they want a large chunk of your pricing. Upside is, they take care of printing, even framing and matting, billing an shipping.

With my current set-up, I manufacture my own prints nwith an Epson SureColor P800 and Red River Paper - with excellent results. Shopify handles the billing and collects payments and forwards same to my account.

There is a very modest fee for use of their CC payment systems, but it is a mite compared to SmugMug. Plus I build my site the way I want. SmugMug was limited in its customization.

Shopify does have a fee - chargeable either monthly or annually (better deal) but the fees are reasonable.

Daryl New Loc: Wellington,New Zealand

Yes I agree,Smugmug looks good.

Hi again Daryl. Someone suggested taking the 's' out of https so Ive done that and that lets me in.
Thats a nice clean site youve got there. Well laid out and Im sure does the job.
My suggestion is contact whoever set up the registration for your website name and get them to sort the certificate issue.
I think youve done a great job on the site you have and would be a shame to have to start over. The devil you know etc

I see you do a lot in Wainui. We are in Tauranga now, but for many years used to travel over the hill while living in both the Hutt Valley and Wellington for our kids sport etc (Im a born and bred Wellingtonian). A good friend used to have the pharmacy in Wainuiomata as well. Retired now tho.
Cheers

Be careful. The majority of these Firefox messages are fake. Following any instruction will install a ransom virus in your computer. If the message does not go away INSTANTLY when you hit delete, close your browser and shutdown your computer IMMEDIATELY. You may have to force quit both.
