First things first, I decide before I even attempt anything I need to find a good host at a good price, after speaking to a few other webmasters who submit Movie Galleries and listening to their opinions on hosts I checked out
Ideal Bandwidth, after speaking with the sales rep I think yep I'll open an account!
So I take on a 10 Mbps economy server at $180, thanks to Ryan and Salie for the help and quick set-up!
So far my total cost is $180
My next target is choosing a sponsor, whom I think fits in with my overall agenda. I find a sponsor and start chatting with the sales rep and give them a general idea of what I'm trying to achieve and see if they can offer any helpful info.
So I'm now satisfied with my sponsor and think all is good so far and move into my next target, which is too have a few gallery templates designed around the sponsor, so I shop about and look at different portfolios, taking into consideration designs and costs etc. I finally find one that I think offers the best design at the best price and I order 5 templates at $50! Once my galleries are designed I offer them out to some friends to critic them and then hand them back to my designer to make changes etc.
This brings my total cost so far too $230
