If you are serious about starting your own photography business and want to attract customers,
you NEED a website. Probably the number one question I am asked is, "Cindy, where do I go to
get a web site?" Now the answer is easy! Read on!

 

Some of you may have heard of Smugmug, but did you know that you can get a pro website along
with online proofing and sales with them? See the details below.

Impressive galleries the easy way

SmugMug's mantras are ease of use and style. Easy for you to upload and arrange. Easy for your customers to navigate
and buy prints.

Upload 100s of photos with a few clicks. Bulk caption, bulk move, and bulk delete.


Your own look and brand

You can replace SmugMug's logo, header, footer, and color scheme with your own.

 

Your own hostname

If you choose a nickname like Ansel that no one has claimed, you could be ansel.smugmug.com. But if you own ansel.com, you
can use it for your SmugMug galleries.

 

Protect your images

Automatically watermark your photos when uploading. It won't affect your prints. Turn on right-click protection on a
gallery-by-gallery basis. Turn off access to your high-resolution originals.

Make any gallery private. Or password-protected. Send clients to a group of private galleries via a single URL.


Unlimited storage

SmugMug won't ask you to delete photos to make room for new ones because your quota at SmugMug is unlimited.


Unlimited traffic

As long as you're using your professional account for photo sharing—posting photos to forums & blogs, and inviting visitors
to view your galleries—your traffic is unlimited.

It's not intended to host non-photographic web graphics for commercial websites.


Detailed reports

Track image views to the last thumbnail. See graphs of traffic to your galleries.

Track the profit for each print sold in every size.


Your own search

When your customers use our search engine, we search just your galleries. You can add a search box and place it almost
anywhere on your pages.

You can also add IPTC keywords to your photos before uploading to SmugMug, and our search engine will return results
matching those keywords. It's a way for you to embed hidden search terms in your photos.


Mac lovers

We love the Mac like many pro photographers do. You won't see us give it half-hearted support.


Quick help

Few companies answer support email within hours. We make sure we do because we know you're entrusting your business to us.

 

Now you can make your Smugmug pro site look even BETTER!
How? By customizing it!

Once you sign up by clicking on the button below (then going to the "pro zone" area of the site), you need to check out
my friend Jerry's Smugmug Customization Service. For a fee, Jerry can get your site looking its absolute best.
Check out some of his samples and get the full details here.
