I love the affordability and simplicity of their sites and would recommend it to anyone.

Pros

I love the ease and price of using this to set up your own artist portfolio. Compared to other platforms this is a great affordable option.

Cons

Setting up can sometimes be tough to understand. I am an novice at web design so I would love some more video tutorial's to help me along.

A Solid Photo Online Proofing and Gallery Service with Order Management

We have used Zenfolio for a number of years now. We have frequently looked into alternatives but this was still the best option for our business.

Pros

Zenfolio is a cost effective solution for Wedding Photography online proofing client galleries with online photo ordering and integration with some of the UK's best photo labs.

Cons

Automatic gallery archival is a pain. Galleries automatically get archived after a period of time. There's no warning when a gallery gets archived and while some can be selected to 'never archive', you can't set all galleries to do this. It's thankfully only a few hours to un-archive but occasionally this can be frustrating as it leaves them inaccessible for a period.

Use to be great...now the company is far too slow, they can't seem to host with efficiently at all. The choice to archive images to a cloud is ridiculously poor and makes selling and using the site very unfavorable.

Pros

I have been with them since 2006...they now archive your work, hard to retrieve images...lots of propriety buy, sell, print. Website freezes and does not load images.

Cons

Now everything....I'm leaving, ASAP. The site is literally broken.

Pros

Zenfolio offers beautiful templates for your website. They are also a one stop shop for photographers. Gallery, Shopping, Booking/Scheduling, Reports, CRM, SEO Tools, Blog, etc. No more switching from one software to another to keep up with my clients needs. This offers it all in one location. Very happy that I found this service!

Cons

There are a few glitches that need to be fixed, but overall, I like this service very much!
