Currently, I host my main website with BluDomain, and my customer store / galleries with Exposure Manager.

I pay annually for BluDomain, and it's a flash site.
I pay monthly for EM, and their galleries and back end hasn't received any refresh in a long time - they have one coming soon that seems geared towards sports event photographers - not my area.


I'm considering switching to a host that can do both of these in one -

Provide a website / portfolio page that I can show publicly. Doesn't have to be flash (would prefer it not to be in fact)
Provide a private gallery store people can order their prints from at prices I set.


I've seen SmugMug and ZenFolio - but are there options I'm missing? Not ruling either of these two out yet, of course ...

You might take a look at PhotoBiz (http://www.photobiz.co​m/ (external link)) or Portfoliositez (http://portfoliositez.​com/ (external link)).

Photobiz does it all (for what you are looking for)...I don't think Portfoliositez has a shopping cart/eCommerce but may be wrong.

My wife uses a Wordpress driven site and a PicturesPro (http://picturespro.com​/ (external link)) shopping cart...works well so far but isn't a single integrated platform.

I use Wordpress for my blog, I'm definitely not interested in fighting to make these work together.

I'll check the links out - thanks!

Welcome. My wife has used both photobiz and portfoliositez and was happy with both.

I like the looks of Photoshelter, but they seem a little pricey. Right now I'm trialling SmugMug, but oddly, I'm finding it difficult to navigate and use ...
