I'm looking for information on the costs involved in setting up a website for my photography business. Historically I've used out of the box solutions (Flickr etc) to display my work but as I'm getting more work I'd like someone professional. I'm currently trying out Zenfolio but I'm not sure if their pre-packaged sites are what I'm after.

Can any of you guys who have your own sites give me an indication of price and who/where you had your sites created.

Thanks :)
 
Thanks! Bludomain isn't something I'm familiar with. Just having a look now :)

Edit.. How easy is it to customise their templates?

Takes half an hour to get used to it, but it's a doddle in the grand scheme of things.

I'll screenshot the backend when I get home later on.

Something like WordPress on your own shared hosting with a theme from themeforest or something is a little more personal and allows you more control. TSOhost or similar have packages that are affordable, you're looking at about £6 a year for a domain and maybe £30 one off for a theme. The install is very simple.

I looked at wordpress a while ago but got tied up with the back-end stuff which is why I'm looking for something simple. I'll give it another look as things may have changed.

Thank you so much for that! Really appreciate you taking the time to post everything.

I'll be looking at templates tonight :)
 
Had a good look around Bludomain and have a good idea of which one I'd like to go for..

Two quick questions Jacob. I've read a lot of bad reviews about their service when they host the site. I take it you've had no issues hosting it yourself? Have you had to contact them for anything?
 
I'll be using my TSO hosting also so that's good to know.

Thanks again for your help. I should be pulling the trigger sometime this week while they have a sale on :)
