Thank you Alex. I recently signed on with a Premium account and am quite pleased. I appreciate the ability to make changes quickly and easily without the need of any coding whatsoever. I find the interface to be exceptionally intuitive. I want Chuck Sale Photography to be about photography, not about web site construction and complex tweaking. Zenfolio is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks again.

BEFORE I even think about going to a premuim account and selling my work thru ... or by ANY process on Zenfolio... or by ANY means online... I have NO intention of spending another penny on further development as a photographer who sells my work on the internet.... until THIS... is resolved...

If this insanity becomes a reality... there is no way in hell I will post.. or have hosted any of my work on the internet in any way shape or form.

join me in writing our representative and asking them to vote now on this obvious attempt by corporate overlords to take away our basic rights to individual creativity!

I'm just starting with this sight and am having computer ignorence in setting up my sight, but do like what I've been able to accomplish so far. Having been a photographer and an abstact artist for many years it's great to find a site where I can share my creativeness with so many around the world.

Would like to see a sight where you could just click on a page and say I want this.

I agree 100% with your quality over quantity approach. Far too many times we see similar sites trying to do too much too fast & end up becoming mediocre because they lose focus on what's important.

You guys have definitely created the best photography site on the web hands down & I'm glad to be a part of it. I'm a super snob when it comes to layouts, UIs & overall ease of use/intuitiveness, so if there is such a thing as perfection, you all have achieved it here.

Cheers...Kerry

Brilliant!

I'm from Singapore, a hobbyist photographer, and I like Zenfolio too. The name itself is cool!

I'm into good GUI, and Zenfolio has it, with a myriad of themes to choose from. Hopefully more to come.

Been using this for both showcasing my works (restricting downloads), and sharing photos with family/friends (enabling downloads).

Keep up the good work!

Still learning!

I'm a Phanfare refugee. I thought they had a good product but have jumped aboard the social networking bandwagon and forgotten about photographers who want to display their work easily to a wide audience and keep control over their photos. It's been a timeconsuming process switching over but I'm pleased with ZF so far. I'd really like to start selling online and I really need a European lab and UK/ Euro pricing for that to take off.

Please don't distracted by internet fads and keep focussed on photographers.

@ All -- thank you, everyone, for your kind words. It is a great feeling shared by everyone on the team to hear this from our customers.

@ Thorne -- it would be great to hear why you left devianART. Maybe you can share with us in the forums: forums.zenfolio.com/.../15.aspx

I use and like both Phanfare and Zenfolio. The comparison between the two is not entirely fair. Phanfare is for sharing between family and friends (and always has been). Zenfolio if for selling pictures.

Just to let you know that I love what you are doing!!

I come from another photo hosting site (it start with a F...) and was looking for something better and I found it here!!!

Please keep up the good work and, as you say, "quality over quantity"!! :))

I was at deviantART for five years, and the hardest thing about leaving was letting go of their fine prints service. I spent over a year looking for some other print service can could stack up, and am thrilled to be here now. You guys have features that I'd craved there, and others that hadn't even crossed my mind!

Besides that, the professionalism and configuration of your gallery pages means that I can use zF as my gallery "backend" for my own website and spare myself all the heavy lifting of designing and maintaining my own galleries. I am frequently *stunned* by the forward-thinking found in your option set. You really do seem like "by photographers for photographers" here, to an unprecedented extent?

All your priorities and strategies seem spot-on and impressive. I am so damn happy to be setting up camp here. Keep up the great work!

I agree totally with the above comments and experienced much the same as they have. So, Alex, puleeese stay with your original business model and your organic growth philosophy. It is great and what many many photogs are looking for. I know I was and am as happy as pig in mud!!

In fact, because of being on Zen, it appears as if I will soon have to upgrade to Premium due to emails I have received from my Zen site about getting prints of some of my photos. I am not a Pro but with Zen I can act like one..LOL..keep up the good work & kudos to you and your team!!
