New Website

I've been working on my new website for a while now and it is now almost ready to transfer to my impphoto.com domain. I am using zenfolio rather than my old method based on a hosted site built with NetObjects and some flash extensions. I am using zenfolio's premium plan (currently £100 in the UK) because it gives me unlimited storage and incredible flexibility in design layout. It also includes a shopping cart with options to fulfill orders worldwide, often with local high-quality printers and also for self-fulfilling of orders. So far, I have uploaded just over 200 images and the whole upload and tagging process has been a joy compared with the way that I do it on my current site. If you are considering building your own site, I would strongly suggest you take a look at zenfolio and you can use this code DSD-YCN-5EN to get you 10% discount if you sign up. I should stress that I have no affiliation with zenfolio and selected them after evaluating self-hosted options and other gallery-based sites such as smugmug. You can have a sneak preview at impphoto.zenfolio.com.
