Making a website?

Question

I want to make my own website to promote my photography.

I'm not looking to make money out of it. It's just for my own use and hobby really. I'd like to be a photographer and I think this is a good way to promote my photo's. How do I start this? Is there a way to do this free of charge? Any advice and help out be great thanks.

Here is one of my photo's take while I was on holiday.

Answer 1

You could try  a free word press account its a good way to start out with page layout and things as the editor fills in the HTML automatically.

You can put images in to your pages after you have chosen a theme you can even change the page header image.

You don't have to purchase a domain name ether.

Here is the main wordpress page

http://wordpress.com/

If you decide to use this be sure to use this page to create an account as there is a download  version of the software with is a whole different thing to set up.

http://wordpress.com/signup/

Or even more simple you could use Flickr its a member of yahoo company so if you have an account with yahoo you dont even have to sign up just log on.

http://www.flickr.com/

By clicking create account .

It will allow you to post and talk about photographs with other photographers in a very communal and focused way.

After that you could move on to perhaps purchasing a

web site compiler such as dreamweaver then you could

find a payed  web hosting account like yahoo web hosting.

Purchase a domain name from them

http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhostin...

build an amazing site and upload it to there web server.

There most likely is a cheaper ways to build and keep a website.Once you get to this level its best to use reputable tools etc that have all you need on offer.

Answer 3

You should decide whether the site is just for a web presence or whether you want people to find you amongst other similar sites. For the first you need to be able to show your photos (obviously) but you direct visitors there by external advertising, say word of mouth, business card or where you advertise normally. For the second idea you need a good site with your photos, but also something to attract visitors, such as articles on photography. You have to attract the notice of the search engines (like Google) Have a look at my site for an overview http://www.ds32.com
