Professional Photo Hosting Help - 12-18-2011, 02:29 PM


I am looking at switching hosting sites...can anyone make a recommendation? I recently opened a studio front and want to revamp how I store, sell and proof my images. I am looking for tips from others on this...what works for you and why? This would be for wedding galleries, portrait galleries, schools, sports etc.

If you have a storefront, I would HIGHLY recommend doing all your sales in person at the studio.

Kinda confused what you meant about studio front. Are you talking about a website? or a physical retail store?

And I agree, in-person proofing trumps online proofing in terms of profitability.
