What's the best photography website option for photographers?

I do astrophotography and want a straightforward website to just display my images -- no sales. I'm not an IT guy, but neither am I a dope. I tried Wix and Zenfolio and have just about given up on both. Neither are at all intuitive to set up a website. Online tutorials haven't been helpful. I'm trying SmugMug and so far so good.

How many galleries should a photographer keep on his portfolio site? 10-15-25 or can it be more?

so wordy, teh real topic starts minute 7 and is very quicly parsed

Great video! What are your thoughts on Shoot Proof? Seems like they offer a lot for the price. And contracts/e-sign integrated seems like a great feature.

Thank you I learned a lot today.

Is there any alternative to smug mug for unlimited storage of photos?

Thank you for taking your time to do that great Video 📹 If I want to make some money 💰 from my Photography which one would you advise me as a Newbie ? Please ... I'm more into Aviation, Bird, Wildlife and Landscape... saying that , which Photography pays more ? Please

Oh my gosh I have been researching hours and it gets confusing. I was ready to go w/SquareSpace but my concern and focus is WHAT PRINTER is being used. Some of these PODs are gimmicky products and my focus is on selling a very good quality print. So, SS uses Printique and I am trying to find reviews - one review stated not so sharp. SS takes 2% I believe of any sales. SmugMug uses WHCC and Bay Photo. I have used WHCC and they are great! But SmugMug takes 15% of any sales. That is a huge jump from SS. What to do? I dont want to start a site and then not feel confident my customers are not getting an excellent print. SS is difficult to reach and SmugMug emailed me 2x in a very fast turnaround. I have been trying to find out if I can use my own POD with SS but to get an answer is close to impossible. It seems that any web building site you have to go with their POD. If I am mistaken let me know. What a headache!

I am a landscape photographer but do it as a hobby. Do I need a website? What advantage will I get from it?

great advice,
I am just starting out looking for a photography website i have nothing so starting fresh. I am living in Canada. i keep hearing about square space a lot and other sites i don't have a website dont even know where to start to be honest. so any input help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much brother for this information. I needed this! Been on instagram for quite a while and like you said it’s going more video and its been dead for me. But i need to do a portfolio type website but dont have alot of money to do it with right now!
