Need Advise Regarding Creation of Website

[Baz777]

I want to create my own website to host some of my photographs.


The essential requirements are:

1. Free
2. Easy to set up, (I’m computer literate but old)
3. Able to be a bit creative on how it looks

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

You're very limited there then.

If you want something totally free, you've got something like flickr, which satisfies 1 & 2, but not really 3. www.filckr.com

Or, you could use something like photium (www.photium.com) £80 a year. There are others like this, but I can't for the life of me remember the name of them! This satisfys 2 & 3, but not 1.

EDIT: Another site like this is clickpic (www.clickpic.com) which starts at £35, but you only get space for 60 photos

The other option you have is to design a site yourself, using a template like those available from www.freecsstemplates.com or other sites. You'll have to buy a hosting package and possibly a domain name as well, but this way you'd probably looking at around £30 a year. Again, this satisfies 2 & 3, but not 1... It's not as expensive as the option above

I'm sure there are other options as well, but those would my suggestions

It's being a bit strange tonight though, I cant get onto it to see my emails.
So you might be better looking at it 2 morow.

I have to say that Photium are brilliant when it comes to customer service and answering stupid questions from imberciles like me, well worth the money for a very good service and nice looking individual site !

Thanks for the replies.

Will give Photium a go, £80 a year seems reasonable
