Hey, I have a photography portfolio site that is 90% finished going cheap. Unfortunately (and I’m not afraid to say this) I got well and truly shafted by a client who dropped the project right at the end. Looking back it was my own fault and I have learned some valuable lessons about how I run my freelance projects. Anyways…

This is a semi-static site, meaning the main pages of text content are uneditable unless you know how to use an html editor. This is no bad thing so don’t let it put you off – About pages and Services pages rarely change and if they do its normally very small additions or amends that I can help out with. With a photography site arguably the most important area is the portfolio or gallery of images. With this site all the photos are managed through Flickr. I have set up different galleries on the site which link to different ‘sets’ on Flickr. Each time you add photos to a particular Flickr set, the website gallery is automatically updated. Free and simple to use. Here are some screenshots…

I’m selling this site for £200 and this will include updating the content to reflect your business and linking the site to a Flickr account.

Alternatively if you want to be able to self manage the site in it’s entirety, I can convert it into a WordPress driven site. This will allow you to change content, add pages and much more through an easy to use interface. Obviously this will cost a little more – £300.

As the site isn’t totally finished there are a few quirks happening on some browsers and certain things aren’t working right. For best results view in Firefox, Safari, Chrome or Internet Explorer 8 – basically it won’t work properly in IE6 & 7. When the site is ready for launch it will work in all modern browsers.
