The site does't read IPTC data, e-commerce doesn't work properly, no batch editing. Dead HTML links in your about page.
Still very much in Beta as far as I can see.

Built-in E-commerce (Does this mean the other options don't have e-commerce?)


You will still have e-commerce, but it's limited. For example, you won't get print option.

@Mantis,

Appreciate your thoughts, but it's a simple that we implemented, after talking to a lot of photographers. If you have a  better model, please let me know and we'll consider using it.

So, after talking to photographers, they said 'we want to pay you more to be able to charge more'?

No, we're by far the cheapest on the market for one and have the highest commission. For 7 dollars a month, you get a website + hosting, as well as 100 % commission.
