Can you use dreamweaver with smugmug

This sounds like an intriguing idea, but I'm having a little trouble getting exactly how it works. You say to have the photos on my own website, which is fine. But how does this allow me to have SmugMug print the photos and collect payment. Sorry if I'm being a bit dense on this, but I just learned about SmugMug recently. I've read a bunch of their FAQ stuff, but haven't come across this option.

You just create your own website, advertising your name, your prices, your gallery, etc. Then create a "buy" icon on the webpage and then just link it to your smugmug page. Just trust me its really simple to do, though if you lack the web design knowledge, most web designers could do it for you really quickly. Here this is my advice;.

You get them cheap and just adjust them to your needs. I use godaddy. It really isn't that hard, but you could always hire someone to do it for you if you want. Try searching for a local college kid to do it cheap. Thanks for the suggestion, Doc. I have an older version of Dreamweaver that I used to use quite a bit, though my skills have gotten a bit rusty.

I've purchased a domain name from GoDaddy through SmugMug. I've gone to the domain account to have it forwarded to my SmugMug page, but it keeps going to the smugmug home page. Can anybody think of what I might have done wrong? I have experience keeping up existing pages with Dreamweaver and a small amount of HTML knowledge, but that's about it and definitely doesn't help what I am trying to do here Anybody have the patience to help a beginner.

Are you simply setting up domain forwarding? Or do you have a pro account and trying to set the domain records to Smugmug? Message edited by author Good Luck! They can favourite photos and make their own space around that. Then they can also purchase prints. Ryan, Fantastic video series thank you.

One issue that I cannot solve and it will prevent me from moving forward with smugmug is getting the Buy button eliminated from Gallery view. Shopping is turned off in the Organizer for each Gallery but the Buy buttong still shows up in every gallery when the site is published.

How do i get rid of it? Hi Tom, Glad you found the tutorial helpful. Try logging off and going to that gallery again and seeing if that Buy button is now gone. Hi Ryan! Excellent tutorials. You are the perfect example of what to do so people use your affiliate link. If I sign up for SmugMug I will definitely use your link!

Super happy with all you share. I immediately signed up for your list. I have completely ruled out FAA for numerous reasons including the lack of flexibility to offer only certain products, the complete disregard of the years of concerns and requests by artists over there about protecting images with watermarks in any serious way if the artist wants to use them, as well as the many, many stories of unequal and unfair treatment of artists who are not in the inner circle.

I want a professional solution, not a company with pervasive discrimination of any kind. Was feeling like going it on my own site was looking like the only solution. Your detailed posts and tutorials have given me renewed hope that there is another faster and fair option before my own stand alone art sales site. I have two questions. I am an artist and I love that you get to choose which products you offer on SmugMug. I was wondering if you can choose product per gallery or if you have to offer all you choose in every gallery.

Is that possible? I know you mention above that you had not at the time of this tutorial. Has that changed? Can you compare and contrast now or did I miss that somewhere?

Hi Taylor, Thanks for the comment and the kind words. Regarding your questions: 1. I have still not tried WHC to compare quality. BayPhoto has just been dandy for me. It would be nice to see a comparison though. Hope that helps! Loving all the info. I still have no idea how I can add all the fancy forms I have though, Where can I upload a contract or client questionnaire or other paperwork that my clients need?

I made a tab called forms and my drop down menu lists each one, but how in the heck do I get my psd file onto the page i created in smug mug? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Im guessing I have to embed it as code? Thank you, Ryan! This was a fantastic video series and leapfrogged me WAY ahead in the process to having a nice, clean photography site.

I set it up the same as the tutorial and have some changes to make, but at least I feel like I know how to do them quickly and easily now. I really appreciate you sharing your expertise. Thanks again! Many thanks for preparing this tutorial Ryan. I came across Smugmug and decided it was the best way to share the digitised photos with the extended family and future generations.

However I was having a real struggle trying to get my head round where to start and your tutorial has given me the overview I needed to get started. There is a lot of very detailed videos from smugmug on levels of security etc but no overview like you have done.

I would really have liked to give you something in the way of signing up for smugmug for all the effort you put in but I have already signed up. Could I renew using one of your codes — let me know if I can do this. Anyway I was really worried about posting up all the family photos and then if something happened to me they would have no clue how to access and manage all the photos uploaded to smugmug.

I will definitely leave a note with my will referring my kids to your tutorial! Many thanks once again. Cheers Karin. Thanks Ryan, a great tutorial — I think that smugmug has changed a bit since, but the options were easy to find regardless.

I found it very informative and useful as I design my own site. Very clear, well produced, an invaluable resource. You rock. What was just my hobby and love of photography was growing rapidly and was getting hard to manage without having a website.

You are totally a lifesaver and I seriously could not have done my website without you! Well done Thomas looks great.. Hi Ryan Thank you for your tutorial. It was a real lifesaver for me and with it was able to set up our website. I do have a question however. My header section Name, Menu and Icons does not scroll up with the pages throughout the site.

Hey, this was a great tutorial. I was wondering, how important is it to have your own domain name? For example: scottwalmsley. Does it improve SEO to purchase your own domain name? Or or does it simply look more professional? Thanks for your cool and helpful tutorials. It seems like there are daily forums and things like that but how do I connect? Thanks for any help! It integrates with the popular ones like Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Except there are specific forums where SmugMug users get together. Good luck! When you sign up for a SmugMug account, your site will automatically be connected to the internet! You may also want your own domain ex. Hi Ryan I just played all the videos on the tutorial, and let me tell you, You really did a great job, the videos really help me to set-up my first website.

Now im wondering about the best option to upload the photos, through Lightroom or direct on the website option. Hi, Just wanna say thank you. Great instructions.

I completely redesigned my page with your help. It looks great Thomas!! Well done. I just used your tutorial to create a website. Thank you so much for posting that, very much appreciated. People like you who make photography a little easier for the rest of us. Glad to help! Amazingly simple and detailed enough to go from zero to complete a Site … thank you very much for putting the tutorial together Ryan … I just signed up for the site and its up and running … Keep the updates and great work coming ….

Great to hear Dinesh! I totally dig your site and tutorial. As an emerging part-time professional photographer, I was looking for a way to display my images and to create a method of using a high quality lab for my clients. I did this backwards, I first established my preferences for a lab, which I choose Bay Photo. I printed several pieces on board and framed art, using all sorts of paper, boards and textures. I think their products are first class, and deliver a quality product with a very fast turnaround.

Well done! I can see that the Smugmug site made changes from your video, but it was easy enough to follow without too much of a hassle. I am evolving my feel for the site development. Even though my interest is landscape photography, I recently landed a shoot for a corporate shoot for their collateral material and website material. The new website was extremely useful! You never know what will come your way!

And I hope that your new website generates lots of new business for you. All the best and good luck! Hi Ryan, Your tutorials were very helpful. It is there on the home page, and on the galleries, but once you click on a gallery, there is no easy way to go back — and the background goes back to black instead of the white. Hi CJ. I have created mine via SmugMug, its really simple and worth for the money.

I just did it today. I am not finished- have some tweaking and writing to do. Now i feel like i know what i am doing and finally closer then ever before to having a real working site! Wow Cathy. Your site and your portraits look fantastic!!! THX in advance. Hi Cathy. Hi Ryan if all the tutorials on the web would be explain as easy you do it would be amazing, I cant not express in words my gratitude for the hours that you must put up to teach some donkeys like me,lol, do you have other sites where you at least accept donation?

For free this stuff is just not fair. Grazie grazie grazie. Hi John. Those are very kind words. Hi Ryan, Thank you for these tutorials, I have a word press site but want a smugmug account to just sell prints directly to clients. How do you set passwords for each gallery?

I do school sports photography and they have to be password protected. Thanks so much! The simple answer is you can set a password in the gallery settings. Or if you want one password for a bunch of galleries, you can put those galleries under a folder and password protect the folder. So many options! Hi Ryan this tutorial as well as your blog have been invaluable! I was able to watch the tutorials at my own pace and pause and copy your steps to get set up so thank you!

The coupon code link was not working for me at all. Thanks so much for the tutorial though it was great! Hi Sarah — yeah, sorry, the coupon code is no longer active. Sorry about that. But glad the tutorial helped you out. No worries it was still worth watching and purchasing the pro account. I have kind of a one-off question on the Zen of pricing video which was awesome help by the way!

Do you just have them go to your site and purchase their digital pic copies from your site? Hi Sarah — Yes, if you set a price for the digital downloads, then you are making the files available for your client.

I am still in the process of building this website. And still in the process of pricing. So how do you go about pricing the actual file. For instance I have shots of people surfing and many birds.. How do you go about selling the actual file. As opposed to just the print. For instance if I have a 10mb photo of President Obama stepping on a dog poo, how do I price and actually sell the file to say the press.

I have a pro account. Hi Ryan, What a great service you have made to all those who want to set up a SmugMug website but dont know how to start or how to set up the website efficiently. I for one, have benefitted a great deal from your tutorials and have been able to set up my website much faster as opposed to learning and doing everything on my own and from scratch. Have a wonderful ! Hi Swapnil…. You are too kind. Thank you for your comment. All the best to you and yours in as well.

Ryan, Thank you so much for your brilliantly helpful tutorial! Next, need to get some social media presence and upload more photos! Thank you again! Hi Deejay! Glad the tutorials were useful for you. Glad you found them helpful Karen.

Sell anything on Smugmug? Using other platforms, such as Etzy? What is your most successful platform for selling photos? Hi Ken — yes, I sell my photos through SmugMug. Looks to me like it would be more in the Fine Art department — than, say, allowing wedding clients to buy their own photos.

A couple of small points. When you upload your photos to the web site.. What resolution do you use. I live in the UK. When a client orders a print does the order go straight to the print lab direct from a client in the UK. And does the print lab post the print s back direct to a customer. How does the money change hand. Does an account from the photographer have to be set up via smug mug. Which brings me back to question 1. If the order goes straight to the print lab then each photo on the web site would have some gigantic file sizes to suit industry standard..

Or am I picking this up wrong. On your Zen pricing video that is how it seems to come over to me. Your tutorial was great, but I am a bit confused on those points.. Many thanks. I will upload high-res images if I think I may be selling the prints to clients. If I use low-res on those, then the client will only see the smaller print sizes in the shopping cart. On personal galleries, I sometimes use a lower resolution just so the upload time is less. When a client orders a print, the order goes through SmugMug to the print lab.

And the print is sent directly to the client. SmugMug and the printer does all the fulfillment and shipping. Thanks so much for this tutorial. It does indeed. I am presently in Spain and will be returning to the Uk shortly and I will be looking at a subscription to Smug mug on return.. I appreciate your assistance. Thanks for everything, Ryan. After watching the videos it was all very logical and straightforward. Much faster than learning by trial and error! Thanks for the code too.

Hi Ryan, Once again I want to thank you for all of your help to all of us out here! Your site is invaluable and the coupon code is an amazing extra! I decided I wanted to add a drop down to the portfolio section. I want to be able to choose from weddings or portraits. Can I do this easily after setting it up the way you had in the video? So far I only uploaded my weddings to the portfolio page. Thanks again!!! Just follow the directions that SmugMug has in their help pages scroll to the bottom of the page.

I just wanted to say thanks for the discount code it was very generous of you to share that with us. I have had your page saved as a favorite when I eventually managed to get around to tweaking my site to my liking and business was doing well. I invite you to look at my page and provide any constructive criticism after going through your tutorial numerous times and changing everything to my personal tastes.

Thank you again for all of this! I think your site looks great! I just made my first Smugmug gallery. Pretty happy with it collage portrait style but when you click on am individual photo, the captions drop below the left corner of the screen. Is there any Smugmug template that has captions centered under the photos when you are in single photo view? Perhaps you know from experience which ones are best for displaying text with photos?

Hi Lorelei — thanks for the kind words about the tutorial. SmugMug is the one where you have small thumbnail photos on the left and the large, selected photo on the right.

In that gallery style, the text is below the image and easy to read. Can you help? If Original is selected, that download icon will appear. So I change all mine to X3Large. Glad I could help Liam.

Specifically — when you are logged IN you, as the owner, will see the download icon always. First of all, I would like to thank you for all the time and effort on building this tutorial. I was able to start my site and make it like the one in your tutorial in few hours. Right now it looks like the background color is dark gray and I want it to match the rest of the site for clean look.

I suggest you ask around in the dgrin. We need more ppl like you willing to share their knowledge and help without asking for anything in return.

Hi Ryan. This is one of the most useful things I have ever found on the web. My site is not fully built out yet, but I got a huge head start thanks to you.

Really appreciate your help, and the coupon is a great bonus. Thank you so much for putting this together. So it makes sense to turn off the shopping cart in the portfolio gallery. However — if you are a fine art photographer then it absolutely makes sense to keep the shopping cart ON in your portfolio gallery.

Hey Ryan! First off thanks for creating the tutorial! Could you help me with this? Again thanks for this! Hi Marie. My pleasure Marie. Best of luck with your new SmugMug site! Really great video, Ryan. I needed this information on how to set my own prices. This was extremely helpful. Thanks Sara. Great tutorial. Huge help. Very nice, elegant and simple design. You got me from being overwhelmed to up-and-running.

An awesome tutorial! Your instructions were so easy to follow! Thank you for putting this together and sharing it with the world. My site is still a work in progress but exponentially better already Of course I copied a lot of your layout and verbiage directly just to get it going.

That was the right pace and right amount of detail. Hi Craig — Awesome! Ryan ….. Hi Alex — Thanks for the kind words. Great videos.
