    Newbie How much work is involved getting and maintaining your own photography site?

    I have always used my flickr site as my portfolio, not that I've ever really needed to show it anyone but now i'm no longer in the UK, flickr doesn't work as it should here, with 90% of my images being blocked. I presume that if i had my own dedicated site this wouldn't happen.

    Those of you that have your own site, how much does it cost, how easy is it to set up and maintain? I see a few personal sites like that and they seem to get updated very rarely and after a while not at all and I am just the sort of person to not bother if its more than a few clicks of the mouse.

    At the moment I am lucky enough to brush past quite a few important people here, mayors, bosses of big companies, managers of tourist attractions and so on, it would be great to be able to sell myself with a business card.

    Why not just setup a portfolio wordpress site and get a shop plugin to sell your photos?

    Would something like this be of inspiration to you?... http:// URL REMOVED

    yep, I made a 500px site shortly after gettin tired of watching the tumbleweeds roll around on here

    Site is OK and the free portfolio isnt bad, most of the work on there seems to be over processed or HDR bollocks though.

    Working fine in China though, so may have it added to some business cards.

    http://cliverowlandphotography.500px.com/ Neat url too, innit

    Thanks to {{909}}

    Yeah there's a lot of that HDR eye candy crap, but you get that everywhere. I just like how it's not full of pictures of little kittens and people on holiday like flickr ended up being
