I love Zenfolio. Just joined about a week ago and can't believe how helpful they were in helping me get my domain name transferred. The site is as smooth as silk to work with!

I have been a Zenfolio member for almost 2 years and I love it! The professional look and all of the custom features make it perfect for my business. I have been enjoying all of the latest upgrades, and just took the time to do a bit of clean-up and refreshing of my site. Can't wait for the next batch of upgrades! I always look forward to seeing what you've come up with to help make the site even better.

Not sure why it took me so long to switch to Zenfolio! My favorite feature is the full screen slideshow where clients can see what they are ordering.

I joined Zenfolio about 2 years ago and I'm still loving it. Its friendly interface, technology and support in my view beat most of known commercial photo sites by far.

I moved to Zenfolio just over a month ago. I had been processing my orders myself. Zenfolio is the greatest - it's freed up my time to do more, offers unlimited storage, reduced my overhead and, most importantly, my clients are thrilled with the speed and quality of their order fulfillment.

After checking out the trial subscription for just a couple of days, I signed up at the premium level. It's everything I was looking for in a photo presentation and sales site.
thorsen.zenfolio.com
Zenfolio is perfect for distributing photos, sharing with friends and family, and finally also backup of full sized photos. I have started scanning thousands of old 35mm negatives with a CanoScan 4200F, and I uploaded 5 years. Now I also get my old photos 'living' (digitally) and all nice organized. My friends and family are impressed. Thanks to Zenfolio.

Zenfolio is by far the best, I have had my pro account for about a year, and it is so easy to use. The zenfolio team is adding features all the time; they just keep making great, BETTER!

I'm a premium subscriber and I find Zenfolio fantastic. Based in far-away Guyana in South America, I am now able to have my photographs, both print products and digital downloads, sold around the world. Thanks Zenfolio!

Zenfolio is great!
I have the Premium account and my event sales have gone up quite a bit due to the ease of use and elegant photo presentation.

I'm just at the start of a trial subscription and I'm already very excited about the site. I'll be moving from my "other" site soon!

I have looked at every other photo hosting /selling solution and Zenfolio is the best by far. Best price, best functionality, best customer service, and always adding features!
Craig Larsen, United States

Quite simply, Zenfolio is beautifully large and expansive. I was looking for something that could tie in with the growth of my business. I love the flexibility that Zenfolio offers my customers when they view their images for the first time, they can control that experience. I started my account at Zenfolio as a visual blog of what I am, and what I do.
I like that I can direct potential customers to a variety of sites that I have created to showcase my style at popular venues, and if they are offended at the site of a large Groom dressed in a red tux with a tumbling dice headband that belted out the best vows I have heard in 23 years of business, who just happens to be marrying the love of his life while the wedding is officiated by “The King” Elvis himself (http://clarsen.zenfolio.com/teisha-dustin-demo) – well, they can find another photographer. . . . . .
I also like the new upgrades like customizing the link so it isn't as long as my 70-300mm lens on full extension (see above), or, selling licensed digital downloads (the wave of the future).
Simply put: Start free, then get off your ass and make something out of your life. You have pictures to take, and the world and I need to see them.
Ivan Makarov, United States

I love getting these emails from Zenfolio notifying me that I made a sale and immediately putting the request to transfer profits to to my Paypal account, which typically takes just a few hours to arrive.
I also like the flexibility in pricing my products. I offer discounts for my prints to clients that I bought a portrait session from me. I can offer discounts that last forever, or those that expire after a time. I also have multiple price lists, which helps when pricing certain private galleries.
I also love their admin panel. There I can see how many times my galleries were viewed, I can break it down by days and by images. I also use their sample license agreements to draft agreements when I’m licensing your work to third parties (which came in handy in the last few weeks when several buyers wanted to use some of my work in their magazines and advertising campaigns and I did not have to go to lawyer to draft the agreements). I can also see sales report breaking down each sale by sales price and profit minus the discount, and I can get a statements generated for various dates and categories, which helps tremendously for my accounting and tax records. Zenfolio knows I’m running a business and they built their engine from that viewpoint.

As a photographer you need a service where you will be able to present your work quickly without hassle and coding, still achieving a great looking interface for the costumers/viewers.
This is where Zenfolio really stands out from the competition. No other service that offers such a sleek and user friendly interface for both the photographer and the visitor.
With an instant you have a professional looking gallery/web site where your visitors can view or buy your work. With the simple press of the mouse button you can completely change the look and feel of your site, or just an individual gallery, by using the different great looking skins/templates.
Another really strong feature is the way you can organize and manage your galleries and folders. Zenfolio really shines in this area and makes it an easy task to manage even very large image libraries.
Speed and reliability is another very important aspect. Zenfolio offers lighting fast rendering of your galleries and that is really a key factor to keep your visitors coming back to your site.
As soon as you visit any Zenfolio site you instantly see how easy it is navigate the galleries, no complicated drop down menus, no slow loading flash movies are in the way here. For pro's there are countless and very useful features like customizable watermarks, unlimited space for your images and the ability to create different price list for the products you want to sell.
The price list feature is really useful as it allows you to create different lists for different areas of your photography, like weddings, sports, corporate and maybe a cheap one for your family and friends.
Good support is so important and Zenfolio is known for their efficient way to handle that topping it with a very active forum where most of your questions will be answered in no time.
The tech side of Zenfolio is brilliant. You get proper sales stats and Google analytics visitor tracking.
Another plus is their public API which have given us useful upload plug-ins for Lightroom, Aperture, Wordpress amongst a few.
Imagine all this at a ridiculously low yearly fee. On top of this Zenfolio charges you the industry's lowest fees for managing your sales and you see why I picked Zenfolio as my online photo partner.

Zenfolio is the best online photo gallery I can imagine. I have tested flickr, SmugMug and Picasa. These are all photo communities but ZF is the only one which lets you seriously present a (semi-) professional photographer's work. Best platform to present and sell images out there!

I use Zenfolio for all my client proofing. It makes my life so much easier! Thank the photo-gods or the Zenfolio/Mpix partnership !!!
Roger Vaughn, United States

Zenfolio combined with Mpix makes my little hobby home based photo business so much easier and trouble free. I've used Mpix since Miller's started the service and now that I upgraded my Zenfolio account to sell online things are even easier. Thanks for a great service and partnership!

I just received my first order via Zenfolio - twelve mounted metallic prints that I needed ASAP for submission to WPPI's 8x10 competition. I ordered them late Friday night, and received them today (Tuesday) mid-day.
Not only is your turnaround time fabulous (especially for a mounted product), the attention to detail in packing my items was absolutely top notch. They all arrived in pristine condition! Not one nick, bend, or beautiful metallic print sticking to anything else.
I really truly couldn't have been more pleased with the quality of these prints... I can't tell you how proud I am to submit them to WPPI.
I recently tried Zenfolio out of frustration with other online portfolio services that run slow, don't give my clients a big enough preview, etc. The galleries look great, my clients are telling me how much better they like the service, and you make my collection of commissions SO simple it's not even funny!!!
I love that matting, mounting, and framing are made so simple with you. I'm a small business, and knowing that you provide so many services and it's all right at my fingertips and accessible via the internet (so important for someone who travels frequently and may or may not be able to bring along my own laptop)... it's really my dream come true.
I had a computer failure a couple of weeks ago, and while it was in repair... knowing that I could easily access those recently edited files via their Zenfolio galleries REALLY saved me so much time and worry. The ability to quickly download the original files and get things done was great. This is an option I wouldn't have had with my previous service.
I can't tell you how much easier it is to run my business and keep my clients talking about my work.
THANK YOU for this service!!!!

Zenfolio is the place where my images leap off the page. Cool designs, easy to use and for a reasonable price. Now they are adding a global vendor, my satisfaction is complete.

Zenfolio has the BEST user interface out there! Giant previews for the bride's grandparents to see, crazy good slideshow feature and custom pricing right down to individual images in a gallery! It's perfect!

Zenfolio keeps coming out with great features all the time. Mpix was my reason for going with Zenfolio and now I'm hooked. Love it!
Ivan Makarov, United States
imakarov.zenfolio.com
Here is why I decided to set up my account on Zenfolio versus so many other services that offer similar setup: 1. They use Mpix as their (in other words, mine) printing lab, which means high quality prints. 2. You can get paid any time you want, no matter how much or how little earnings you have in your account. 3. They have by far the best formula of how you can price your prints. It's very flexible. 4. I love how the images are presented and the ability to modify the look of your web-site, including removal of all Zenfolio logos. 5. They are constantly adding features and expanding their web-site.

I really like how Zenfolio works!! It is really nice that I can upload the proofs, they can order, crop, etc and then I can upload the enhanced image. That is really great. I used another photo hosting site before and had to enhance every photo for fear if they ordered from the internet they would get a bad photo. I believe Zenfolio is going to work MUCH nicer for me!! It will save me an enormous amount of time.
I love the fact that I have so many options on setting my prices also. I can set a gallery or individual photos different yet keep them all in the same gallery/album for easy organization for my customers.
I love your digital downloads.
I believe your shopping cart is much easier to use and the quality of photos from MPIX is also better.

Zenfolio satisfies my requirements as a photographer, from providing private galleries to automated order fulfillment with high-quality prints to selling digital images. On the technical side, I have been impressed with the elegant merging of a clean interface and intelligent prefetching of images to make browsing through a gallery a smoother experience. Combined with a modest price, unlimited disk and bandwidth usage, in my opinion Zenfolio is an excellent platform for photographers.

I like Zenfolio! This photo sharing service merits a spot as one of the best in the world. Unlimited photos, unlimited storage, no spam, no ads, easy uploads and easy sharing. I like that I can organize photos into groups and galleries, and surface those galleries very obviously on the front page. I like the overall look/feel. There are multiple styles you can use, and the site is easy to navigate for both the owner and visitors. Your visitors can order photo prints or custom photo gifts and Zenfolio will ship it to them! I have used Zenfolio for about 2 years and I'm very happy with their service.

Loving Zenfolio! Budding photographer with a lot to learn. I tested SmugMug and Zenfolio. In the end I chose Zenfolio which left me with a "smug" look on my face and my financial account!
