SmugMug versus ZenFolio, Photoshelter, Flickr, 500px, Picasa, ...
To create our online photo gallery that allows users to buy the images (incl. downloads) directly on our site, we tested quite a few sites:
- Smugmug: http://www.smugmug.com
- ZenFolio: http://www.zenfolio.com
- Photoshelter: http://www.photoshelter.com
- Flickr: http://www.flickr.com
- 500px: https://500px.com
