I have had terrible experiences with several websites, most frustrating was "freelancer'... fast approaching second is "imagebrief"... BUT Zenfolio, to this time has ticked all the boxes.
I was reluctant to get involved with such a large organisation and so many promises, of ease and reliability but I went ahead and set up a website, incorporating a digital stock download shop. I am impressed with Zenfolio.
