I don’t mind the logo at this point, but I wish that they made the color scheme more similar to my original. This annoys me, and it is surely off-putting for customers. My website has a white and blue palette the checkout page is black and green. Not only does the SmugMug logo show up on this page, but the entire color scheme changes. Here is a screenshot showing the problem: The only place where it remains – and one where it is impossible to remove – is the checkout page after the shopping cart. You can eliminate the header and shrink the size of the footer, but the footer can only be removed by custom CSS (which works, but is not appreciated by SmugMug for obvious reasons).įor the rest of the website, branding is very minimal. By default, SmugMug adds a header and footer logo to your website. This costs me $12 a year, but it’s worth the money.Īs far as other branding goes, SmugMug isn’t perfect. All you need to do is use SmugMug’s built-in “Custom Domain” option, which automatically syncs your site to a GoDaddy address. If you don’t yet have a custom name, your life is much easier. If you already have a custom domain name, you have to change your DNS settings on the hosting website to match your SmugMug site this can take a few days to work properly, and the process can be confusing if you haven’t done it before. When people visit my website, I don’t want them to see the word SmugMug across the screen I want them to see my name and my photographs (not to mention that “Smug Mug” is not a very good name.)īy default, SmugMug includes their brand name in your URL – for instance, – but this can be easily changed. I strongly prefer to host my photos on a website that has minimal branding in fact, obtrusive branding is enough to lose my business.
