First Website

[Dbirdman]

Hi I'm not sure this is the right place to post this but it seems to fit my predicament. I am a Student Photographer (Meaning that I don't have a lot of extra money) and I would like to do a website that I can sell and advertise for my work from. the only thing is I REALY CAN'T afford it. I was wondering if anyone knew of an online company that has an option to create a FREE website that I can sell my work and get some money from? I thought about doing something like Shutterfly, but I found out that I wouldn't get ANYTHING for the prints that were sold. I would really like to do a website, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm not aware of anything free. Smugmug and Zenfolio both have what you need but they will cost you. If you are selling even a modest amount the fees soon pay for themselves.

OK thanks I was just under the impression that there was something out there like that... I'm not sure why... I will look arround and see what I can find.

What about Photoreflect? Do they have a fee, or do they just take some out of every order? Does anyone know?

sign with a microstock site?

Can't sell your photos from a site like this but it looks pretty sweet for how amazingly simple it is http://www.jeffcurtesphoto.com/ was done with the free version of simple viewer

Still have to pay for web hosting though. Can't make money without spending it.

I used to use backprint (www.backprint.com) they weren't bad for free, you could set your own prices and do some customization. Just have to deal with a backprint.com/yourname website. Check them out....
