How do i set up my own photography website?

Hi there, Well as far as creating your own website (for free) www.wix.com is really easy and fun with pre-made templates. You could always pay to create your own website but if your not overly serious as of yet I would recommend wix. Someone else has already suggested www.deviantart.com which I would also recommend. That site also allows you to sell your artwork. Well all the best! - oh and check out my wix - i'm just starting up so it's not overly flash or anywhere complete. www.wix.com/elenievie/artist

Start with something like Photoshelter for the back end and wordpress for the front. Photoshelter handles keywording, search functions, licensing, and print sales. My site uses wordpress for the front end and Photoshelter for the sales: http://www.altitudegallery.com If you don't know what you are doing, I highly recommend hiring a designer. There is a lot to learn about building a website from scratch. Here are some of the top mistakes I see people make: 1) Flash. Flash is dead. It should be removed from the web entirely. It is not supported by mobile devices, it uses dated code, and it is not SEO compliant. 2) Music. Unless you are selling music, get it off of your site. 3) Speed. There is an art to getting a website to run quickly. 4) Navigability. It needs to be easy to navigate. Designers know how to do this, most amateurs do not. 5) Cross platform compatibility. Just because it looks good on your browser does not mean it will look the same on an iPad. You need a developer that knows how to create a site that is consistent. 6) Avoid free sites. Sites from weebly, webs, wix, and the like look cheap and unprofessional. They also rely heavily on flash.

In this link you got all the information : http://placeforwebsite.blogspot.com/ Building a website will cost you money, so you should also make money from your website. Start selling stock photos or something and make it profitable.

I would highly recommend Zebra Internet for you hosting; I have personally been with them for some time now. You can get domain names from like as low as £4.50 per year, and hosting is just £0.99 per month for 5GB web space and 40GB monthly bandwidth (also 50 mailboxes and loads of other cool features.) If you ever need support they are at hand 24/7 and give a great service! Check them out: zebrainternet.com

I have been setting up websites for my own personal use now for many years and I would highly recommend using Wordpress for setting up your website. It is highly flexible, easy to manage and is FREE. There are many pre-made website templates for Wordpress to use including ones that will suit your needs. I would highly recommend using 123 Easy Hosts as your hosting company (www.123easyhosts.co.uk) as you can get hosting for less than 50p per week or for unlimited hosting for only £1.05 per week. Plus if you contact them about your needs they can set up your Wordpress site for you. Also, they offer a 30 day money back guarantee and No contracts and No set up fees. So there is nothing to loose really. Take a look at them. I think it will be worth it. Best of luck with whatever you choose.

OK making a website is kind of easy...here is a dude from youtube that taught me how to make a website in like less then 3 weeks....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOfhmzNLWzY....he put the tutorials into different sections....anyways it's really really easy and if you would like to see what the final product of my website looks like then go to mahomies4life.com it's my website and i used everything the guy taught me....and a website that helped me with html codes is quackit.com....and if you would like a free web hosting site go to 000webhost.com and they don't have their name anywhere in the domain name...which of course you have to purchase but ya...i hope i was helpful and if you have any questions then you can ask me by going to mahomies4life.com and i have a page that ppl can contact me on...i made the website to help support somebody on youtube...but ya i hope i helped you...

Best is to use Ultimate Web Builder. It is very dynamic and flexible and very easy to use. You can create your own design with it. It has a built-in SEO tool to build traffic to your website and a lot more features. It has a photos app where you can create slideshows and galleries, batch upload and also batch watermarking. And e-commerce too.

I know the best company from uk which design professional website for photography related industries. You can also check out there web design gallery where you can find website related to photography.

I'm not sure how you'd go about making your own website. But you should check out DA (DeviantART) you can upload your photography and sale it on there. :) And people also become you're watchers if they like your work. :)
