SmugMug selling

I have signed up. A couple things I like so far is that you can upload full size tiff files so any size photo can be ordered directly from the site without having to upload a different file like other sites make you. Second is that you can upload to the site directly from Lightroom to any folder on the site. That makes it so very easy to get the photos on the site. Still working on a theme for the site. Not totally happy with what I have there now but it is easy to change the theme though.

Zenfolio is similar (single high res upload, direct from Lightroom for easy auto-fulfillment) functionality. The only problem I saw is that I wanted digital downloads to have my watermark, where prints wouldn't. Zenfolio and SmugMug both looked like they could do a temporary "proofing" watermark, but changing from digitals to prints would need two uploads. Not a huge problem, since I tend to do some extra editing to images that are being edited, but still not fully auto either.

SmugMug seemed to struggle with SEO and integration with blog sites, where Zen could stand as its own blog if needed. Still, I keep my personal stuff on Smug but gave up my commercial account once I got Zen up and running.

looking forward to your review after you get the template set up, since I know you are super thorough on this stuff.
