I have sold a few things from fine art but deleted my account due to the quality of their products, personally I think they are not that great of quality for when I ordered for myself and was not that impressed.
WHCC is my favorite lab, But I jumped on board with Zenfolio and I LOVEEE it, it was the best investment I have ever made for a website..
It also has simplified my life soo much easier considering I can do all my tagging and everything in LR and straight upload to that, I paid $10 for the uploader plug in to lightroom, and then all I have to do is just choose the categories.
It is so much, much easier and the time saves from my other website and FAA has cut my time in half, in this case my time is my money, I love just uploading, having my RAW files attatched with my image for double back up and just going...their print quality is outstanding!!! My sales have gotten much better and right now it is holding its own and paying for itself..I do plan on ordering a metal from them as well as a photobook for when I do my sessions my clients can see them first hand on the quality of print for when they do order as well... so I can keep pushing on and expanding :-) I am a happy camper :-)) I am also learning the keywording is the thing as doing as much marketing correctly which is footwork and takes up some time, and social and in person networking as much possible. It is why I am not posting much on the forums anymore but more or less lurking.. all my time is involved with getting out there in the public, networking and meeting and hooking up other photogs in my area :-0) Loving every moment of the experience and journey!
Watermarking, is another reason I love Zenfolio, it puts a "proof" watermark on it which shows on the website but it will not show on my prints for when they are ordered, you can do your own watermark, but I choose not to do that, I just do the generic "proof" across my images.
