    Pre-membership questions...

    I use another service, but I find Zenfolio tends to be pretty elegant. However the service I use also allows me to replace the logo and mostly hide the fact they are hosting my photos.

    So, if I'm reading things right, if I want to make it so that the essentially only place a visitor sees that they're viewing my photos via Zenfolio is say in the small print in the footer, I take it I have to get a "Premium" account? Ditto for putting my own logo at the top?

    Many thanks in advance.

    I have a premium account and have the Zen display suppressed so check out mine. www.thompsondigitalimage.com

    of course it is only one theme of many available, but you'll get the idea.

    notice that at the top my business name appears and links to my home page.  Today, you can not change this.  However, Zenfolio is working diligently to get the next upgrade out by years end (not 'promised' as has been reported, but they are pushing as hard as they can!) and that upgrade is intended to have additional home page options and page customizations.  I have also heard that it may be fully implemented via two different releases.  (this is all news that has been gleaned from various posts by Zenmasters themselves... I am not privy to insider information here).

    Some heavy feature requests have been along the lines of:

    • Custom logo at the top of home page (or all pages)
    • Navigation bars
    • Large photo display or large slideshow display on homepage
    • Ability to select display fonts and colors

    now those are the heavy requested items.  I haven't seen or been told anything certain here.  Just wanting to bring you up to speed.  But I can tell you that whatever Zen does, they will do well and will maintain the elegance that Zenfolio pages are noted for.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to do a "hit and run" here. Thank you very much for the info and example. It looks like there's still a little more to go here for what I want. That said, I do think they (Zenfolio) have more elegant templates...

    The ability to upload a custom logo is coming in the next release, which will hopefully be done before the end of the year.
