The photographer interface is great and easy to use. But the client galleries are supremely unintuitive. I spend more time walking people through how to register, favorite and download images. Most of my clients use mobile devices. They end up sending me screen caps because the mobile web site sucks and the mobile apps are a joke. If 50% or more of my clients can't figure it out without a self-authored tutorial, something is really wrong with the user interface. You have to simplify this, I have no free time left to continue being a software trainer for Zenfolio or to try to match mobile screen caps without the file names included to the original images. I have been a long time user of Zenfolio. It seems that lately the emphasis has been placed on selling tools. Not that I don't mind adding to my bottom line but, I need a better way to manage my website. Thankfully I have an in house geek who is able to help me write code and make the adjustments needed. A few things that still need to be addressed, even after writing code. Fonts.the limitation of fonts is past annoying, I want to brand my entire website with my front, but it is not applicable across platforms. If someone is looking at my website using a MAC they will see the font, but not other platform will show it, the font is overridden. Aspect ratios, just like every landscape photographer has stated, one size (or a few sizes) does not fit all. If you are going to be updating the selling tools, I want to be able to update from my print house and not the few selected you offer, because we all know you must be getting some kind of kick back for using only the few. I have emailed requesting that my print house be added, but I have yet to receive response, 3 months later. If you insist on only using your print houses for selling tools I want the option of shutting it all off or a way to link to my own vendors. Thanks for listening! Do you have free templates?
