tara_b Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 <p>Hi Fellow Creatives!<br> Photographer here looking for some advice. Up until now I have had to rely on someone to build and update my site for me whenever I needed something done. Well I have grown tired of not being able to make changes when I need/want. Does anyone have any suggestions on pre-built flash websites that look professional and are easy to use?? I have heard PhotoBiz as one. Has anyone used that?? I tried LiveBooks and didn't care for that too much. I just want something easy, professional in appearance, and not toooo ridiculous in price.</p> <p>Thanks so much in advance!!!!!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niki_cortesi Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 <p>Why flash? Have you considered other options?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoss_etemad1 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 <p>$10/year gets you something pretty cool with FolioTab - it's actually a facebook application but it creates websites. Check it out http://www.facebook.com/foliotab<br> You can view a sample site created with this app here http://foliotab.com/site/690780769</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiff-backhouse Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 <p>You could also try a Joomla based website. With this you can also manage other pages with written content as well, like Biography page etc.<br> Joomla is a free Content Management System and there are many hosting companies that will provide a ready built Joomla installation very cheaply. <br> Several must have plug-ins to Joomla are<br> i) SigPlus image Gallery - this makes it VERY easy to add photos to your pages.<br> ii) HPRouter - a little complicated to being with but this makes your site very Search Engine Friendly<br> iii) I would also suggest Linkr, which makes it much easier to embed links from one page to another.<br> I provide a ready setup Joomla install for around €800, some of which can be paid monthly. I have a number of clients (artists) running this kind of site as their Galleries with a small amount of training up front and very little need for on going support. <br> If you want more help, I would be happy to give advice.<br> Chris</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dylan_montgomery1 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 <p>Hi Tara,<br> For a professional pre-built Flash website try <a href="http://www.PortfolioWebsites.com">Portfolio Websites</a>.<br> HTML and iPhone alternate sites are included for cases where Flash isn't installed, and you can manage your website with their content management system. Good luck</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
