Zenfolio offers a 14-day free trial to get you started!After your 14-day free trial with Zenfolio ends there are three packages to choose from with the basic package costing $25 a year for a sizeable 1GB of storage space. If you continue your subscription after a year, Zenfolio generously offer 1GB of additional storage for every year you renew with them. Setting up the trial was quick and we were soon ready to add a new gallery to our website. Images can be uploaded from Lightroom, and many other programmes, or you can simply drag web-sized JPEGs into the multiple uploader.
The upload process was extremely straightforward, and a progress bar tells you how long you have to wait. The main admin page looks complex the first time you view it, but soon becomes second nature to use, and best of all it recognised all the EXIF data from our JPEGs. Setting up the layout and design of the site in the Customize window was relatively easy and there’s a good selection of 20 templates to choose from. To move images into order you can drag them into position and check how they appear using the Preview from the drop-down menu. Our favourite feature was the superbly designed slideshow, which lets viewers control the way they want to view your images. For $25 a year, (about £15), the basic package offers good value for money, however a domain name isn’t included so budget extra for one of these.
