Does anyone here use SmugMug Pro to host their photography website? I can't believe I just today stumbled on it- I thought smugmug was more like pbase or buzznet or something, just a photosharing site. But I'm checking out the "specs" on their pro account and it sounds excellent in all respects. I'd like to hear some user opinions. Thanks!
I am a Power user and smugmug is excellent in all aspects.
They also answer questions and often incorperate suggestions from The smugmug forum at Dgrin.com.
I have been using PBase but am having a lot of problems with "lost" images. I think it's time to look at something different. I could create my own site, but that would just take time away from my photography. I'm curious what people think of smugmug pro?
Yeah so am I, that's why I started the thread ;) Perhaps not many folks are using it here. It seems to be a great price for everything you get, and it really looks like they bent over backwards to get the best quality when choosing a printer.
I've had a smugmug pro account for a while now and I really like it. You can check my site out by clicking the link below in my sig. I just sold a batch of prints on Saturday.
If you decide to sign up, let me know and I can save you a few bucks on your subscription.
I've have a pro account, but found it's really more than I need. I don't really use them anymore for my prints because the results were inconsistent. It is a great way to organize and share your work though and you can use your own web address. Here's mine if you're interested.

I notice you use an email address that doesn't use your domain name. Does smugmug not give you at least one email address if they're hosting your site?
I have a Smugmug Pro account. You can see it here.
As I've been doing some weddings and portraits lately, I find it to be a nice tool for selling the photos. I can charge a set fee for photographing, and then they can get as many prints as they want. We set our prices pretty cheap, but we also charge for the sitting or event.
I like Smugmug, though I wish use of their galleries was more flexible.
Okay, just wanted to see if I can get any more response on this thread. Has anyone else had any experiences with Smugmug prints? It's the only thing keeping me from opening an account. As much as I like DPCP, I really like the additional features Smugmug offers, like watermarking, integration with my site, etc. Thanks in advance.
