Photography website

Postby Sisco22 on Wed Mar 02, 2011 6:40 pm

Hey guys,
Been a while since i've been on here. Been busy with life and kids and all that good stuff.

I am currently wanting to set up a photography website, where i can upload my pics to it and have other people view them, in a slide show or just clicking on them and it expanding. Does anyone know of a good template i could use to try and get this going?

Thanks!

You can check your ISP for a free website (& tools to set-it-up) if they offer one.

I use Verizon & they off a 10 MB free one.

Thanks Shreader, i actually have domain hosting and all that stuff, just need to build a site to put on one of my domains. I don't feel like going thru setting up one from scratch, due to time. Thats why i was looking for a template. Btw, love the pics! that sunset in Fiji is gorgeous!

Check any of the WordPress templates. It shouldn't be too hard to convert those to some other format... or you could just use WordPress.

Wordpress would probably be your simplest solution. I personally use EE (Expression Engine) for everything myself. Used in combination with Matrix, you can do some really awesome photo galleries. :yesnod:

I built this site using EE and Matrix to do this part of the gallery: http://www.hawaiianphotos.org/images.php/kauai/thumbs/

Well, if you want to work with a little code, my favorite plugin (or base) for this type of stuff is Lightbox 2. There are lots of projects like it, but it makes photo galleries really simple to get up and running.
