To Etsy? Or not to Etsy?
From SmugMug to Zenfolio, I have been there and done that with online photography sales websites. Both sites have their share of benefits and challenges. Both are fantastic for what most people are looking for. But, in all logic, SmugMug should have been my end all, be all. Fully customizable, a great web forum and various helpful resources and products – it should be perfect. But, why wasn’t it?
Even though I had spent hours upon hours customizing my SmugMug page over two years, I felt annoyed and angry when looking at my SmugMug online store. I had flawlessly customized it, become a CSS maven (even more than usual) – but after a year and a half, I felt irrationally angry at the limitations I felt within the SmugMug system with what I needed to do to get what I wanted done.
I couldn’t help but wonder – what other quality online photography fulfillment services were available?
