RAW storage isn't really photo storage, it's just file storage). You can't get much easier than the drag-and-drop uploader.

It is a bit difficult to fully customize, but there are plenty of templates and if you want to do html layout and CSS scripting, you're better of doing a domain name/hosting on your own anyway.

I've been a happy Power-level user for nearly 7 years. They also run dgrin.com with a very responsive support system fior SmugMug users.

Zenfolio is the only other one that was comparable last I looked.



(Shameless plug - you can use coupon code G171UaFcXSOjA and get $5 off. Yes, I get a credit also)
I've been playing with smugmug for the past day or so, and for some reason, I'm finding it a bit hard to work with. That said, it's a front-runner. One big question remains--is there a way to have multiple individuals upload to a single account (ie, if I wanted to give my father and my sister their own passwords, can they send photos to my account?), or do I just give them my name and password and let them play me for a while?
