Web site recomendations needed

[huguito]

Hello
I would like to set up a website to show some of my work.
Any recommendation about a template service that looks good, easy to set up and doesn't cost a lot?
Thanks

Hugo

Hi

You might try smugmug.

I've been using SmugMug. The new (last month) site is easier to use and I'm happy with the results but there's still a bit of a learning curve.

Morning!

A quick question for those of you using Zenfolio, are you getting prints done through the system and delivered straight to clients who order online or printing yourself? Any comments on the output from using the Zenfolio system? Do they get delivered nicely, high quality prints etc?

Many thanks

Mat

Thanks for the recommendations, seems like most votes are for zenfolio and smugmug, prices look almost the same in both.
I guess now its a matter of chosing between the two.
The amount of choices in design at this point its a bit overwhelming.
Anyone have a specific website hosted in either one of those two companies to point out as  an example of something beautiful, impressive and well done.
Thanks very much

I guess it depends on your intent for the pics. I just post mine at Pbase.com, $28/yr for 1000mb of space. Number of layouts you can use, automatically make small, med. large pics and your original. Linking to post them is dead simple. Not as fancy as some sites but the simplicity is the attraction to me. I'm not in business, just like to share some of my pics with anyone that's interested.

I like the simplicity of just having folders by topic to navigate through. I can find any pic I've taken in seconds.

I click on your link and get invalid URL?  Is Smug Mug having problems?  Or is there something else going on.

Works for me as well.

One of the nicest, cleanest Smugmug (or Zenfolio) sites I've seen*.  Well done.

(*There may be lots similar, and lots better.  There may not be.  My sense is that the default formats, and perforce the majority of the sites, are over-busy.  I know Zenfolio addressed this with a just-implemented upgrade.)

Thank you, my friend, for the gracious comments.

I had a previous site on smugmug, and when they came out with their recent enhancements, it just took minutes to update with one of the themes. With the smugmug lightroom plugin, one just has to click 'Publish' to add/update from a smart collection.
