What website do you find most user-friendly in terms of uploading/publishing photo

What website do you use?

I see that Flickr seems to be the most popular one, but i find their photo browsing interface is not very user-friendly at all. There is no hot key where I can just click right or left arrow and browse.

I am looking for one to upload/share my photos, but i cant decide which one.

I tend to use my Flickr page for actual photos from shoots and events. I use my Photobuckets for just random crap to post online. I've had problems in the past with photobucket degrading quality during upload.

hey, nice photos you have there!

smugmug doesnt seem to be free...

Yes, coupon code would be nice.


Is smugmug friendly to share photos? I am interested in the Power plan, simply because i can have my custom link name and a webpage design feel.

Thank you!

Well, Smugmug is charging $40/year for their service with unlimited storage, and Flickr charges $25/year for their Pro account which also has unlimited storage. I think I'll stick with Flickr....

i ended up choosing smugmug when it came to decide on paying for a photo hosting site. one of the main reasons why i chose it over flickr was due to the customization available, allowing you to tailor the look, layout, navigation, etc. which essentially lets you to create your own website for your photos.

if you're after a professional look i would also check out zenfolio as a smugmug alternative. little different and i believe less customizable, but it would've probably been my choice had i not gone with smugmug.

edit: pbase might be another option to look at as well
