About SmugMug
SmugMug is a digital photo sharing website, founded by a father and son team in 2002.
Chris MacAskill (father) and Don MacAskill (son) started the original company to build a new video game-oriented web service
in February 2002. By August 2002, though, their focus shifted. A small portion of their video game website was spun into
a full-blown photo sharing service called SmugMug, which officially launched in November 2002.

Customer Reviews:
"This is by far the best photo storage website I have seen! I originally had a basic account for my family and have since upgraded
to the professional account. This has allowed me to put all of my photos for my clients on SmugMug and allow them to
order prints directly from my website. With unlimited photo storage, beautiful prints, amazing customer service (
I've had multiple times where they've responded within a couple of hours... even late in the night!!) and easy,
simple-to-use web-based interface, it can't get much better!" -- John F.
"What makes Smugmug special are the little things... things like cropping. In the past with other printers, I've had to process
different photos for various aspect ratios like 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10. Each individual shot had to be processed and uploaded.
Smugmug makes it very easy to upload the full file and crop online. This is such a huge help, both for pros who
sell lots of photos, and for regular folks who don't want to spend all day learning complex programs like Photoshop." -- Simon L.
"Smugmug provides excellent service. There are different tiers so you can choose the type of service you want.
I'm a pro user and with it, they give you all sorts of excellent abilities such as unlimited uploads, delayed proofing
(so you can upload proofs and then upload a processed version instead once someone buys it), watermarking,
allowing people to buy digital downloads, etc. The community there (on dgrin) is excellent and the staff is very
responsive and personable. I'd highly recommend using their services." -- Joana K.
