I have a gallery on WIX. I thought it would be just the ticket, but I find it just to expensive and to complicated for what I wanted.

I had a Zenfolio gallery at one time, but when they went "WOKE" I canceled it. Maybe I cut off my nose ......
However, the main thing I didn't like about Zenfolio was that to access the gallery there name came first. Otherwise, it was straight forward and support was good.

My purpose for the gallery is to have my photos available for family and friends and a place to send customers.

I have them already in PSE albums and plan on transferring them a folder at a time.

What have your experiences been?

Do you have any programming experience, or a friend that does?
I built my own site and incorporated Coppermine Photo Gallery (CPG) into it.
I have complete control over how my site looks, there is some customization available for CPG.
CPG has a bunch of "themes" available. But it does take a bit to understand CPG's operation.

Unlike my site, you can have CPG be your landing page.

I have Smugmug to be easy to use, for me and visitors.

I am very curious to know what you mean by Zenfolio going "woke".

I use Flickr. First 1,000 images free then you have to upgrade and there is a charge.

Why do you like Flickr?
What are the cost and support.

"...Why do you like Flickr?" It is a portal that is geared toward serious commercial shooters...
Once you master it's interface it has a cornucopia of stellar image artistry typically with EXIF data in latent within the imagery.

That said, I'm a programmer and built my own commercial site (as well as my team members sites).
I'm a ColdFusion kind of guy... wrote code for Deloitte and Touche in DC... That was an awesome experience!

Albeit if you're not into coding flickr has what it takes in spades!
Cheers! and all the best on your journey plumbbob1

Google photos and Drive are free and easy to use. PCloud is good too and free for starter account

500px. It hosts an international crowd.

My only gripe: It does not provide a utility to find duplicate images for deletion. While posting 2000 images, I lost track of which ones I had posted already.

Curious as to what you mean by Zenfolio going woke? I use Zenfolio and have had great luck with it....except for the continual price increases, but it's still easy to use (for me) and does just what I need it to do.
