You can see what mines looks like here and at the bottom of the page if you click the foliolink icon it'll take you somewhere to show other layouts people use:ДЇor copyright reasons, you should be fine with any of the major suppliers.

Also, they do have pretty good SEO functions and it's simple to use, easy to change background colours etc, but it ain't cheap which is the drawback.

Prices range between maybe 200- 600 dollars a year plus a start up fee, but if you have a good body of work it pays for itself with one job usually. A lot of wedding/portrait/editorial photographers use this to send links of their work to clients, youcan create portfolios aimed at sales, there are upload spaces for sending batches to clients but I don't like this feature as it isn't user friendly. Foliolink (I use this) is great to showcase your work and make portfolios with. few photojournalists who use this well and make a lot of money from their sales, they all say the tagging is essential, just sticking pics up with non specific tags such as 'dog in park' leads to nil sales, whereas 'man walking Labrador retriever in Central Park' will.Дў. You can upload a lot, tag the photos to increase SEO (search engine optimisation) and set your price for different size photos. I don't know the costs, I have in my mind a figure of about 450 dollars a year. If you have your mind on a professional looking site where people will find you and you can choose to make sales, there are a couple of options, both are paid services but if you are out to make money you usually have to spend money:ДЎ. D Each site has its features and while paying for a premium/pro account may save time with all the features available on a single account, if you rather not pay, like me, make accounts on several of these sites and use them when you need to.

heh hehДЇor me, the site/service being free was my number one priority. I tried picasa but the fact that it's sending private links that don't work after taking several hours of uploading photos, kinda ticked me off.ДA for image backup(I use dA's automatic obnoxious watermark feature so i can have my photos protected but still able to download the original file without such a copyright) and for photo critique, tutorials, group chats. I use flickr and skydrive for photos I only want certain people to see thanks to the 'guest pass' or private links. But on dA i was able to recover the photo, after accidentally wiping it off my hard drive before backing it up on an external drive.

On Flickr, apparently you can't download the original pic without upgrading to a pro account. and to add to my previous reply, I was really happy that I saved a file on dA. On using these type of sites as a backup.
