    Photographer - needs to put site together

    I am a photographer that has been building my own content for a number of years and need to put together a pay site. I have been learning and trying to get to the point I can do a site myself, but putting a complete pay site together from scratch is just beyond me.

    I have put up two basic, commercial sites that are of the template type where all of the html is done in the background and you just add pictures and are able to put together a pretty nice site. They charge a monthly fee and host the site for you. A pretty good program. After doing these two sites I have become ok with basic html...but no where close enough to take on a building a full pay site.

    Could someone tell me if there is anyone doing something similar to this for a pay site? A pre-packaged site where I could plug in my own pictures...and look, but all of the links, sign up area, members area and everything else is all a part of the basic package.

    This could be a dumb newbie question, but I have to ask. Hope someone can help.

    Thanks,
    Bob

      There are a number of ways to get your content onto a site. If you are really stuck on having your own paysite. I recommend having a web designer make you a good template for around $500 and then working with a hosting and billing companies. If you are really looking for somebody to partner up with, I would be happy to help you out.

          There are a lot of places that will build a turnkey site, but most of them are scammers and rip off artists... it's a shame too, because the few ligit ones get painted in the same bad light as the scammers.

          The best resource I've found for learing how to build sites is www.cozyacademy.com

              I too am a photographer. I have been running my site now since March. I finally got a real designer to re-do the entire site for me. He is very good, not a scam artist, and has done all of this in less than a week. He goes by Quashe on GFY, his site is Adult Design Studios

              Here is my old site...
              BNB

              The new site, still has a few adjustments to be made along with animation. Should have it done later today for me.

                  Hit me up on ICQ
                  SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                      As bnb has mentioned, Quashe is a good choice for a designer.

                      HOWEVER......Taking pics and building a website is the easy part. Any idiot with a digital camera and a few stripper friends can pull that off. If you don't know the rigt people and have a strong foundation in place to deliver you traffic, you are throwing your money away.
