I have a SquareSpace site (www.toomanysunsets.com) and am thinking of moving to another hosting platform. I had the hardest time finding any reviews of these other hosts, at least by Googling. All those "reviews" are either by the hosts themselves or are strangely lacking in anything negative to say, which makes me think I'm actually reading an ad. SquareSpace isn't really optimized for photography, PhotoShelter has tech support with banker's hours (M-F, 9a-5p EST) where its often hard to get a straight answer, SmugMug seems to have recently upped prices and decreased features for a given service level, ZenFolio has apparently higher fees, etc.
I do mostly cityscape/street photography which I treat as though in the fine art market (print, sign, ship my own work), so I don't really need/want fulfillment services unless that's just an itemized email to me on what print is desired and customer info. Mostly I want a functional, responsive, full-bleed or nearly so site which will let me put text, captions with photos. Maybe tailor photo orientation of homepage or scrolled images to the platform (verticals to mobile and horizontals to pc) would be a plus.
Any opinions out there concerning these or other hosts?
Thanks.
