| Nov 29, 2017 at 20:55 | comment | added | AndyWarren | @scottbb I understand. Close if you must or feel like it will better the exchange. | |
| Nov 29, 2017 at 20:02 | comment | added | scottbb♦ | @AndyWarren However, the question seeking a product recommendation (which is generally OT here). And considering the relatively short lifespan of web hosting services (the first 2 recommendations of the accepted answer are EOL or dead links), IMO that argues in favor of closing as OT. We have several questions that have been closed as important historically, but not necessarily indicators of good (or topical) questions by today's standards. | |
| Nov 29, 2017 at 20:02 | comment | added | scottbb♦ | @AndyWarren This came up in the close review queue, so I assume it was flagged as OT. Perhaps it's not strictly web site development per se, but it has elements of that, considering some of the recommendations go that direction. | |
| Nov 29, 2017 at 14:12 | comment | added | AndyWarren | @scottbb This question is almost five years old, and also NOT about website development, but rather recommendations for photography based websites. I think its relevant because I am asking what people use or have experience with. Why vote to close a decent question with a good answer that was asked five years ago? | |
| Nov 28, 2017 at 12:26 | comment | added | scottbb♦ | I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is about web site development. | |

| Jan 22, 2013 at 14:25 | comment | added | Itai | The thing is that you have to balance control and reuse. Doing it all from scratch is a huge task but I usually prefer reusing components that are easier to isolate. For example, using an API to process payment and handle the cart is easier and that leaves the business logic of choosing paper sizes and framing options (for example) to you. | |
| Jan 22, 2013 at 12:48 | comment | added | AndyWarren | Thanks for the info guys/gals. Building the application myself is an option I'd rather not venture after. It's a possibility, but at this point more work and time than I'd like to put into this. I'll take a look at that first comment's link as well. | |
| Jan 22, 2013 at 4:59 | comment | added | Peng Tuck Kwok | @Itai it isn't easy to build an application if you have zero experience in it :). Specifically he's looking at handling the commerce. Factor in things like payment gateways you'll see that this is a lot of work involved. Packaged solutions would be great for him. | |

| Jan 22, 2013 at 2:48 | comment | added | Itai | Really it this point I am wondering why you do not just make the software yourself. If fulfillment is not needed, you have a very simple problem on your hands considering Wordpress handles content and publication. | |
| Jan 22, 2013 at 2:45 | comment | added | dpollitt | Ah yes, you are right. Well in any case I think that a portfolio site is really different then a eCommerce/print fullfillment site. They are really important distinctions, although some sites do contain both. | |
| Jan 22, 2013 at 2:42 | comment | added | mattdm | That one also specifically asks for non-flash, which is what I remembered about it. You're right that it doesn't focus on e-commerce. | |
| Jan 22, 2013 at 2:39 | comment | added | dpollitt | @mattdm - While that is related, that isn't specifically about the eCommerce and print fulfillment side, which this question is. This is also for non-flash only options. | |
