    Is it a gallery you're looking, to display your photos?

    Do any of the free gallerys suit you?

    opensourcecms.com has a list of gallery software that you can demo.
  • Well I'm a website developer by trade.

    I'm assuming you want a portfolio site? Or is it just a site for sharing photographs you have taken?

    I can give you some advice for free if you want. Feel free to PM me

    Not a web hosting site. I need a professional site that I can link to with contact info, portfolio, etc :)

    Goodness :rolleyes: I guess this reinforces you get what you pay for. Sorry if that's harsh but the site is full of typos and grammatical errors. First line: "My name is Colin Smith; I have started this business wich is part time at the momenet, after family and friends said I would be a fool if i did not give it a go." I didn't get further than that, I nearly stopped at the incorrect semi-colon ;)

    Good webdesigners cost money, if you pay peanuts you get monkeys. However there are good hosting platforms for photographers, google and have a read of Professional Photographer magazine, the topic is well covered.

    High quality and cheap don't go together I'm afraid.

    The content has nothing to do with me... i just did the design and layout, the content is what the website owner puts on ;)

    So the "you get what you pay for" doesn't really work there ;)

    Perhaps you could extend your services to running a spellchecker over the copy. It's as much the designer's responsibility as it is the person the site's being created for that it look as professional as possible.

    If you disagree, I'll just go on to point out spelling mistakes on your own website, the awful, broken navigation system and the blank placeholder pages. ;)
