Website for selling photos online

[DeonHolt]

Hi all.

I take weekly pictures of wintersports and "manually" take orders and deliver. I have yesterday "discovered" this system: www.photofrog.co.za which looks like a back end for selling pictures on your own website. I went to the site and it looks like is it undergoing an update. Are you aware of other South African websites specifically for photographers who want to sell their photos online?

Regards,

Photoshelter?

Dankie Sean. Had just have a look. Will it integrate with my Joomla! website which I already have? Sorry for asking you this but I think your reply will be quicker than theirs.

Yes and no...

You can make galleries and slideshows that you can imbed into almost any CMS (including Joomla) that links out to the Photoshelter shopping cart and search (your images search)

Hahaha... took me while to get my head around it, but now i think I have it pretty much sorted... reshuffled my galleries a bit, and I am good to go!

The new system felt tedious initially, but it's actually a lot better. You can nest subdirectories inside galleries which you couldn't do before. So now, for example, I can have an "editorial" gallery, with a "Polo" sub gallery, with a "CCPC 15 April" sub gallery under that (and even then I can subsplit it into teams. with the same images moving into various galleries)

It's also much safer to do gallery cleanups without running the risk of deleting the actual images.

Uploads also do not stop if you accidentally close the (drag and drop) upload window... nice little touch.
