Are Smug mugs worth?

Cost-wise, SmugMug is reasonably priced if you sell regularly through it. Otherwise, it’s a bit high in cost. My overall recommendation is that SmugMug is a wonderful host for your site if you’re looking to create a portfolio site only. With low costs for the basic plan, you can have a website for under $50 per year!

What percentage does SmugMug take?

a 15%
Of course, not everything is perfect. One thing we’re not a huge fan of is that as well as the ongoing annual fee, SmugMug charges a 15% fee on every sale you make. This makes SmugMug one of the most expensive options in our round-up.

What is Smugmug and how does it work?

SmugMug is your do-it-all photo place. Keep every pixel safe, share them securely with whoever you want, or use our sales platform to make money selling prints and downloads. Only buy the features you want. SmugMug has four unique plan types to ensure you’re not paying for more than you need.

Why did you switch from Zenfolio to SmugMug?

One of the reasons I switched from Zenfolio to SmugMug is because of how my photos appear on high-PPI monitors – when using Zenfolio, they look blurry on high-pixel screens. For me, the inherent purpose of a photography website is to display high-quality photos, no matter the viewing platform.

How do I remove the SmugMug logo from my website?

With Zenfolio (for all except for the cheapest yearly plan), it is possible to remove this logo without much hassle. SmugMug is more frustrating. No matter which options you check in the menu, it is impossible to remove the “Powered by SmugMug” tagline at the bottom of your site.

Are Zenfolio and SmugMug the best hosting websites for photographers?

Zenfolio and SmugMug certainly are not the only hosting websites for photographers. Squarespace, for example, is well-regarded by many photographers – as are Photoshelter, 500px, and many more. Two of the undisputed giants, though, are Zenfolio and SmugMug, and these also are the only two hosting sites that I have tested to a significant degree.
