I was just wondering what people have found to be the best site to upload their portfolio for others to view. I have found a few places that seem ok but before I outlay any money I was wanting to hear a few opinions.

So far it would seem that smugmug.com would be the front runner in my opinion.

I use smugmug and apart from their downtime being our peak time I have had no problems with them.
Get yourself a code from one of the memebers here and save yourself some money...

(That's two recommendations in 10minutes..... I think I will have to PM Stubbsy with my code )

Agree - but that is only my opinion, based on some research I did nearly a year ago now.

Make sure you check the thread on smugmug discount codes if you do decide to join us

I'm very happy with smugmug now used it for about 2 months now and everyone that has seen it has commented on how professional it is.
Do a search on smugmug to get discount codes from the forum members for a $5 discount.

hehe - do you see a developing trend here?

ummm I actually did a search for smugbug but I couldn't find anything, maybe I had a brain failure and didn't put in what I thought I did or something.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm still on the 7 day trial for smugbug so I'll find a code for the discount before purchasing the full membership.

Cyrus try SMUGMUG rather than SMUGBUG it may help

Oops, thanks very much, next time I'll try the correct spelling!

I use Imageevent.com. Their pretty fast, nice and easy to set up albums (which can be personalised) and only cost $25 (US) a year. I decided not to use smugmug after the amount of down time they appeared to have. Maybe thats fixed now though.

While they went through a period where it seemed every monday night they would be down for some time, this seems to have stopped - I haven't noticed any down time here for several months. I think it was while they were upgrading.

i built my own sites, and utilise the "gallery" php code / engine to actually deliver and manage images ... but i work in IT and have my own linux server hosted in my employers co-location / data centre free of charge so its not as feasible without that "perk" i guess.

I'm embarrased to ask this, but I'm still on my 7 day trial period and despite reading all of the HELP information on the smugmug site, I can't actually find a way of using another members discount code without actually cancelling my trial membership and using the discount code when starting a new membership.... am I missing something is that actually the case?

My brother did the same thing... After I alerted him to the discount option, he sent smugmug a quick e-mail with the relevant code and they actioned it retrospectively... They are usually very helpful and genuine that way... Give it a try...

Thanks Leek, I'll give them an e-mail and see what happens.
