I am getting more serious with certain aspects of my photography, but I am finding the services that I currently use do not afford me a lot of control over my pictures and what people are allowed to do with them. So I have been searching and looking at various hosting sites like Flickr, Smugmug, and Zenfolio in order to create a good looking portfolio.

I really like the ability to control and tweak the look of your page as I would want to add it to my personal blog. Social integration and mobile sites are also a plus. I hadn't given much thought on selling my photos online, but Smugmug really seems too good to be true. Especially since I live in Canada and the majority of those who have expressed an interest in my photographs also live in Canada.

Does anyone have any experience with these types of services? Maybe suggestions on other companies to look at? Is selling prints through Smugmug as good as people say it is? Things to watch out for?
