Looking for the best way to store and show work for customers or potential customers. I have looked at flicker but it seems it is limited to 100 megs per month. Any suggestions or comments are VERY welcome!


The "eyes" have it !

If you want to have a professional presentation for clients I think having your own dedicated domain and website is the way to go. There are a lot of companies that offer domain/hosting/site builder packages and many of them handle commerce as well. There is no shortage of them. Squarespace, Weebly, PhotoShelter, Zenfolio, etc.

While I agree with the "own domain part" I'll just through out a warning: It costs a lot of time to decide what to use and then to set it up the way you want it.
Just on the gallery side, you have I don't know how many content management sytems (CMS).
To name a few, Zenphoto (I like that one), Coppermine, Gallery3, Piwigo, Koken... - but you can also build a gallery in Drupal or code your own from scratch.
Once you have picked a CMS or designed your own, you have the layout - default or template, if template which one, or maybe write your own?

The results you can get can be amazing and unique - but it can be a lot of work.
(In my case I'm fairly lazy and have stuck with pretty much default templates on Zenphoto and Drupal - one for images, the other one for other stuff.)
