Hi all!
I've been looking into options to create a fully customizable webgallery for clients to view locations we've scouted but have not found what I need. The situation is that smugmug, photoshelter and zenfolio combined would offer everything I need. So I'm hoping there are some pro sites out there that I may not have come across that have it all. Namely:
- FTP upload ability (photoshelter)
- Ability to hand out guest accounts (not only to view galleries but to modify them) (photoshelter and smugmug)
- Password protect galleries (most services)
- As close to fully customizable layout as possible (photoshelter, smugmug is also acceptable)
- Gallery in gallery, without limitations (MOST important and seemingly ONLY zenfolio can do this)
- User friendly admin pages (photoshelter is horrible, smugmug is amazing)
I think that's about it. I'm not looking for a free service and have a massive and growing collection of photos we'd want to upload.
Yes, we are looking into custom creating a website that would suite our needs but we would prefer a service of the above mentioned nature. That said if there are some professionals out there who you would recommend who specialize in custom photography websites, that would also be helpful. The layout would be extremely simple, the features are what are important.
Any and all advice would be helpful.
Best,
Rob
