Tools & Resources
List of resources for the aspirational photographerI thought it would be helpful to create a resource page that you can always come to for all of your photography needs. I’ll add to it as I learn more, but you’ll notice that in the future I will reference this page quite often. I recommend bookmarking it for your reference and convenience. Enjoy!

Build a Website
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND using Bluehost for your first site. 1-click automatic WordPress installation and excellent customer service via phone or chat. Can use the same hosting account for multiple domains if you plan on creating more websites.
Outsourcing Marketplace
Hired service for just about anything you can think of, mainly used for freelancers, IT companies, programmers and web designers from abroad. You can hire photo editors or photographers. It all depends what your budget is and the scope of work you are looking to outsource.
Printing Your Pictures
Ordering from Mpix is quite easy and you can transform your photos into prints, home décor, cards and stationery, gifts, and more.
