I got sick of dealing with Pixpa and spending a bunch of money for a fraction of what I actually needed. So, screw it. Why not build a WordPress site, create my own theme for it, configure it to do what I need it to do, buy a couple terabytes of cloud storage and implement my own, customized E-commerce store for delivering galleries and digital assets, and all of it for a fraction of the price?
I’ve always been a big believer in “why pay someone to do something I can do for myself for free – or at damn close to it?”
