I havent really thought of a budget to be honest.

On one hand, the cheaper the better?
On the other hand,great site,lots of hits-pay for itself?

Look if you have next to no money to spend, learn to DIY it, and you will get LOADS of free help here. Or, do as someone else suggested and use a free template style site to generate your space.

I do a lot of web work for my own company, and thats with 2 full time .net programmers and a third party designer too, and its tough!! The last time we paid an external company for a site, it was 30k, and we were not happy with the finished article.

I say DIY it.
 
I have just left Clikpic and gone to Photium.

Photium has excellent support - to date the longest I have had to wait it about 25 mins for a reply.

They do a free 30 day trial which is good to tweak around with. Also their additional storage costs were excellent and Clikpic could not compete.

The Java tool for uploading is 100%! I loaded up 400 pics today and not one failed. Simple drag and drop stuff. It also has paypal and offline ordering which is good. I have just embedded google analytics into the site and that is excellent for tracking traffic and bounce rates etc.

Have a try... its free and you have nothing to lose!

Cheers,

Bob

Hi Bob,

Whats the JPEG quality like after an upload - I am struggling to keep mines at 100% with my own coding, really starting to get on my tits.

Is that photium.co.uk
 
Its excellent. The beauty of the upload is that you can drag your full high res file into the java window and as if my magic it converts it into a web ready image. Dead fast.

I will PM you in second with some more stuff.
 
Gary - I like the design of your web site. Nice idea with the menu buttons. However, you need to check your code because it looks like you have made the site IE compatible but not Firefox which a lot of people are now using. Haven't checked in Opera yet mind you.

Firefox displays the image off the right hand side of the screen so you probably need to look at the way your tables are aligned. I'm just guessing thats the prob - haven't looked at it though
