Hello.


I'm currently stuck at a crossroad about my print sales implementation, and I don't know which path to follow...

First of all, I have a self made website at http://www.joseramos.net . It was built with Gallery 2, and I like it a lot.

I already had a print account at deviantart.com (http://inebriantia.deviantart.com/prints) , and recently opened one at untappedsource.com (http://theuntappedsource.com/artist_detail.php?category=58).

After building my website, I made a link on each photo to the respective deviantart print sale, or to the untappedsource one. It's the BUY PRINT button you can see on each image's page.

Recently, I've been looking at zenfolio and exposuremanager, and they seem very good, but they seem to act as both personal website plus print shop. As such, if I signed up at zenfolio or exposuremanager, it wouldn't make sense to keep my joseramos.net site right?

Besides that, the 80 dollar yearly fee is a bit steep to me... do you think that these kind of services have really improved your sales?


Another important aspect: I live in Portugal - Europe... isn't there a service with print facilities both in the USA and in Europe, to alleviate shipping costs?


What would you do if you were in my place? All the help is appreciated!


Thanks a lot!
