Ask yourself this question: “Do I need to be selling prints?” The answer is yes, yes you do. I once had a hard time figuring out how and where to sell prints, and even if I didn’t want to sell I wanted to simply give a gallery for our couples to view! In 1999 is when I started the business. It wasn’t until 2004-2005 that I started online galleries, and a new method of delivery. The previous cart systems and galleries were so expensive because space was always an issue.

The Smugmug Dashboard for visitors (pictured above).

www.smugmug.com has its ups and downs, but mostly ups for the better of the 8 years I have had with them. I know a lot of the support team has been there for me when I had questions and that’s a great feature. They do help!

Once of the MOST amazing things about it is the ability to link blogs, galleries, previews, and sample albums to display all over the web, email and Facebook!
