Hey guys. I am currently using Photoreflect to host my website. (Host is probably not the correct technical term:confused:) I love the ease of ordering and that they handle all of the payments for me, but their cons are that I can't manipulate the template, not even fonts, and I can barely add my logo. Also, the look isn't as streamlined as I'd like. They don't charge me a monthly fee, nor was there a setup fee. However, they do take 18% of every sale.

I'm looking to upgrade to a more professional looking flash site but still keep the convenience of having a company handle all payments. Any suggestions? The only one I've found that seems to offer all of this is PhotoBiz but they are very pricey. Is there a less expensive alternative or do I have to suck it up and pay the big bucks if I want a fancy site?

My current site can be seen here www.amykillian.com (http://www.amykillian.com)

Hey guys, I originally posted this in Talk About Photography but I wanted to link it here because I know this is where most of the portrait photographers hang out.

Thanks!

I have zenfolio host my pic.. I use a blog right now but I will get a "Flash palette" Website soon. I will still probably use Zenfolio because People can order pic and it will go through a couple of photo printing places. The best one is Mpix I think.. If you get the premium acct people can order it though zenfolio and it come to you and you can set your own prices.. I don't know if there is any other fee's other then the once a year 100.00 for the premium acct.

I don't know if this what you were looking for or not but here is the info anyways.. Good luck..
