Hey all,
I'm looking to set up a website for myself in the next month or so. I don't have any probs using dreamweaver ect and my partner is a graphic designer, so making something wouldn't be a prob. However I really want something that looks good but is super easy to update. Right now im looking at adding significant amounts of work between now and the end of the year and I just don't any excuses (ie. my own laziness) for not uploading it straight away.
Are there any web gallery type set ups that you can use on your own site? Any help would be appreciated.
Joomla
Try out Joomla. It's geared towards that kind of stuff. It's super easy to use and update, and it has tonnes of support as well as modules and templates to use. I'd recommend it for personal sites, blogs, or company websites, but if you're planning a big community site, I'd recommend something else.
Thanks Souri, Ill take a
Thanks Souri, Ill take a proper a look at that. Seems a bit technical but maybe once I get it running it will be worth it in terms of keeping my portfolio up to date :)
Yeh, to be honest I've only
Yeh, to be honest I've only really checked out Joomla and Drupal since they're the two most well known php cms's to do a big site. Either is good, but they're probably a bit overkill for a blog. You might want to check out Wordpress or something like that I guess (I haven't really mucked around with that though, and I have no idea how good it's with for galleries and images, but I would imagine that they have tonnes of modules for it).
I regularly run into the same excuse for not uploading new content to my website. I think the ideal solution is to set up a CMS (content management system) so you can create new pages and/or upload content directly from a browser interface. It's not something that I know much about and can't recommend where to start researching it.
Another option is to use a blog and tailor it to suit your needs.
