I am too busy read previous content, so up to date feedback:
Site is fast. Nice clean design. But one important thing is missing: what type of licence I should buy?
Hi GrayMouse, Thanks for feedback , I changed the license page to make it more friendly.

Hi, Is work fine, is simple to set up, is structured on modules. They also have the free version with fewer options, so you can make an idea.

byman,
Have you sold anything yet?
I used CMSaccount stand-alone script lite version starting in January 2018. I still don't have a single sale yet. I have over 1,000 images and vectors. I spent a bit of Google Ads and Facebook ads, but still no sale.
When I used to use Symbiostock, I've had a few sales even with minimal marketing. I did not use Google ads nor Facebook ads.
Hi Jeffrey, For now there are many who come, look, log on the site, but sell digital files, not yet. I sold prints. It's hard at first, you have to give that confidence to buy from a new site.... but hope dies last  . Nice website, I wish you success in sales.

Hi byman!
Nice work on the site.
Curious to know what your expenses have been setting up the store and running it on a monthly basis. If you are willing to share that.
Very best,
Jacob
Hy jacoblund, The estimated cost for the store is over 1000$ and I still have to pay for speed performance and marketing, Is so were small costs because I personally dealt with it (settings, edits, etc) and long time (we better pay a specialized company to handle everything). -------------------- Thanks moravaldes for greetings

how will you "work on the speed" of site?
Bluehost speed will only change if you upgrade/pay more for a private server or did they tell you anything they can do to help speed on your shared server hosting?
Of course you can always try to optimize your WP site images, design, plugins etc.
If you build all in WP now and want to move to another platform later that is gonna be just like starting a whole new site all over again with all the same work. Do you have a platform in mind that can convert all your WP work easily?
Hy shooterguy77, I'm working with a web site optimization firm, I'm waiting to see the results . I'm not thinking in the future with what platform I'm going to implement, I'm exploring the market with WordPress and when I hit my targets, I'll probably change the platform. Thanks.

[ byman, you are selling well with your web? im trying to do the same, thanks! Rosebud with videolove ] Hy Rosebud7, At the moment it's hard, I'm not known, the world does not trust, but with good marketing and quality services everything is possible I wish you success if you start.

Terribly slow and the changing front page is confusing. You should have all three choices on one screen and skip the animation. I tried to look at photos but after a long time closed. Good luck
Hy JAFO , Thanks for feedback about slideshow.

Nice material there but yes very slow page load times. Who is your hosting company and are you on a shared server?
Curious as to why you decided to make your own site...was your material not selling well on the microstock sites you were on?
What microstock site were you on? How long and how many images?
What other platforms or plugins did you research before choosing cmsaccount.com WP plugin?
Definitely suggest all of your focus now be on marketing, no traffic of the correct demographic will mean no sales.
Please keep us posted on progress and good luck;)
Hy hooterguy77. The host is from BlueHost and now is work on the upload speed of the website (I know is slow ) I decided to make my own website because we have many logo design and digital files that did not sell at such a real value, and I said to invest in my own site where I sell for Romania and canvas. I already sell on SS, DR, 123RF, VectorStock for over 5 years , and I have over 2000 vector files and pictures, and now I want to focus only on product / studio pictures. I chose WP because it's easy to modify but in the moment we grow files and clients I change to another platform. Thanks for comments, I appreciate. Regards.

Couple of observations about the site. I get a box at the lower right of my browser window saying "McAfee Secure" and above that another box with two buttons, Decline and Accept. In general, that kind of advertising popup would lead me to close the tab and leave the site alone. I do not want to interact McAfee in any way and there did not appear to be a close window (x in the top corner). I suggest you get rid of things like that.
It may be that the McAfee popup was the cause, but I couldn't type in the search box to try out searches to see how they worked.
I think your prices are low, particularly for vectors and the full size image. Shutterstock's smallest purchase is a 2 image pack for $29 ($14.50 each)
Above all, the big issue with selling from your own site is marketing - how will buyers find you?
The English on your site, both in the FAQ and in the license terms, could use some work. If you are primarily targeting your home market, it's probably not worth spending time on, but if you think there is some potential for attracting buyers who need English, I would. In particular, in the license terms, the paragraph about restrictions (second one in the RF section) is very muddled and doesn't explicitly say that the first sentence is a list of things you cannot do with a standard RF license.
Good luck
Thanks Jo Ann Snover for feedback. I well try to solve the problems mentioned. The banner with "Accept - Decline" is for GDPR / cookie which is mandatory from May 25, 2018 if you sell in the EU. I am in collaboration with a marketing company, I am aware that I have some marketing to go to more clients. And I will improve English from the description. Thanks for encouragement.

Have to agree with SpaceStock, painfully slow load times. Is WP really the right platform do you think? Also, pages are returning with mixed languages. Spanish primarily but I think some Portugese as well. Other than that it looks great with some wonderful work. Lots of luck.
Hy David, I chose WordPress because I can customize it as much as it is easier than HTML. I'll see where the problem is with speed and language. Thanks.

Everything takes an annoyingly long time to load. Apart from that, it looks pretty good. Just wanted to clarify this though...
I want to sell some of the design logo I've made for different clients
Are these clients aware you're selling their logo designs?
Hello, Thanks for feedback. The logo design are a non-exclusive license that was sold on 99Designs (also with a non-exclusive license), But I also have the Exclusive License for Logo design (not sold to anyone yet). I can not afford to resell something that has been sold as exclusive.

Helo, After several years of freelancer and sales on microstock sites, I said to put all my work on a platform and sell my works. Just my work, no collaborations or affiliates. The website is: https://buzzpixelstock.com/I want to sell some of the design logo I've made for different clients, plus digital files under the Royalty Free license. And for Romania country I can deliver Canvas prints. The website is made with WordPress plugin from cmsaccount.com I would like your opinion on the website, I still have some changes, but I think it's 95% ready, what do you say? Thank you in advance for advice. Sorry for my english.
