Photography website

[Sneeky]

Need to get one built, intro page, galleries, 4 option search function, contact / order page.
Not to clued up, is flash the best option, what am I looking at cost wise?

This type of site gets very complicated.

It'll be very expensive!

The quickest, easiest and cheapest (free, actually ) way would be to use wordpress, with one of the (very) many gallery plugins available.

For example: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/

There are many photogallery themes available for free, too.

Thx
Have been down the freeware route for a few years and the various options were helpful and served a purpose, but looking at stepping it up a notch or 2.
AutoX, pm inbound.

Avoid flash - not everyone is on broadband.

You could look at smugmug or zenfolio for photo storage websites. smugmug has unlimited storage. I have the basic package and it costs me US$30 pa.

I've heard that smugmug also integrates easily into an existing website.

Thanks for that! Looks really good.

Sneeky, gallery2 can do the photo part of the site, and has a cart function and interaction with printing services. There is, apparently, also a gallery2 plug-in for integration with wordpress.

Hey

There is also Pixelpost.... a free photoblog thing that needs access to a mysql database and php. Pretty cool and quite a breeze to use when set up.

It can be customised and extended. Makes it a breeze to post pics and comments (if needed) etc.

P.s. You will need to have your own hosting thing with some webspace, and access to MySql and php...

I'm really enjoying PixelPost so far. Thanks - both to you and everyone who I've seen mention it.
