Recommend Site Builder please

I want to be able to build my own ecommerce site whereby clients can download their photograph files to it, state quantity etc., then fill out a name and address form, and finally pay through a shopping cart either by card or Paypal for the service we are offering - which is to print, retouch and mount the photos and return them by post.

Can anyone recommend a site/web gallery builder which offers these features? Thanks.

Yes, there is a beautiful site for that that I am using. It has all the features you described and so much more!
Here's their site: ifp3 - Photography Web Sites - Home
And as an example, here is my site:
Photography Portraits and Creative Art

Hi Debbie, I have just been looking at your website which is well laid out and easy to navigate around plus you have some wonderful images there. But I do find your watermark very over powering.

Thanks for taking a look Barry, and for your input. I guess I took the watermarking a bit too seriously. I'll take another look at it.
Good to get some feedback, really appreciate it.

Photium - Websites for photographers - Powerful, easy to use and excellent value

the chap that runs the hosting is quick to respond will take suggestions and is always adding new features, the sites are easy to set up... i have been using them over a year now and they have been superb, really worth a look

You could try something like Website Builder for Website Building - Moonfruit SiteMaker to build the website then set up a seperate link to a ecommerce site built through Domain name registration from 123-reg where you can pay for the webname as the same time. Both cover hosting as part of the costs.

I've gone down this route. I liked the look of the ones above but my only issue was when you go to buy something and you have to start emailing people it loses compulsive buyers.

By setting up your own ecommerce section on 123-reg.co.uk whilst it takes a while to set up means you can sell photos there and then, as long as you have your own places you can then get the stock from and send it on.

Hope that ramble made some sense!

Many thanks for showing me your site. It is really great.I love the way you have captured the movement of the horses and riders in your horse event gallery. What sort of shutter speed were you using? The shots are so alive. Well done and thanks for showing me.
