Hello,
What a nice coincidence. I am searching for templates that will
allow me to make my own photo web page. I did a Google search and
it is not lack of templates. But how do I go about evaluating them
as to whether they meet my needs. So if I can be specific, in a
general way.
Over the past several years, I have had a number of exhibits, solo
and group. People always ask, Can I see your other Photos, so
basically what I need is a web portfolio. Since I photograph
around themes and stories, what I have is a story board composed of
photographs that tell a story, I use the the term lightly, but there
is a a thread that connects all the photos and makes each photo an
integral part of the whole. For example, my last exhibit two years
ago was titled, <Le Cercle Sacré / The Sacred Circle> 38 photos in
all, with a begining and an end, of sorts. What I need, is for the
person to be able to go to the home page, that has a title "My Home
Page" with one of my photos (2/3 of page, 1/3 is a menu, personal
info, Gallery, Links, New, Exhibits, Contact and a few other odds
and ends that I can't think of right now. If the person clicks on
"Gallery, that takes the person to a menu of all the themes/
stories, <Le Cercle Sacré/ The Sacred Circle.>, <Immigrant>,
clicking on <Immigrant>, brings up the first page of the story, I'm
not sure, Text, just the title, then a next arrow to take the person
to the next photo in the sequence, a "previous arrow" and "menu"
buttom in the lower corner, what else, the possibility of writing
text on the page with the photo, title of Photo in in the sequence,
"Pilgrim 1"....."Sentier 3.... and so on and so forth. Also the
possiblity of displaying non-thematic photos.
But I don't want gaudy, or a picture album style format, I prefer
mute and understated, nothing to distract from the photo. Also the
possibility of framing/border for the photo.
You mention making changes to the site, frequent, infrequent, for me
there would be the initial story upload for the gallery and upload
evertytime I do another story board. But I would like to be able to
post a photograph of camera I just bought so that the members of the
camera colecting group can have a look at it, or put up a particular
photo for a short period...
Knowledge; does that mean knowing how to program in HTML, I imagine
a template does require a certain number of rudimentary knowldge but
with a short learning curve. I do not want to get into PhotoShop
and spent the rest of my.... I have a wet darkroom. But I imagine
there is always something that you have to learn to do something
that is new.
Audio is a possiblity, Bach's unaccompanied cello suites, comes to
mind, but not a neccesity. But nice to have. Another Gallery can
have RAMMSTEIN playing. :)
Is there anything else?????
Cheers,
Bogdan

Dave,
When you say photographic your range is pretty broad. Questions
that are
relevant include: what is the purpose, how often will it change,
what is
your knowledge/interest.
