Hello Everyone,

How can I create a website the just photos of people on the site.

I want something like the whole screen to be one color with the picture in the middle

A brief description under each photo.

I want it to be like a slide show where they can go forward and back.

Maybe a couple pages of text on first couple of pages

Does anyone know if there is some software or a way I can do this?

    Hi,

    I've done a photo collection on my site, you can link to it below. It doesn't have a slide show but gets the job done.

    Any questions plse let me know.

      Thanks alot Quicksilver,

      Your site is very interesting.

      How did you create your site?

      I'm doing this project for fun.

      It doesn't really have to look professional, just nice

      I basically just want the entire back round a certain color with the picture in the middle and the option to click to the nest picture like a slideshow.

      Maybe a date and names right under the picture.


      Thanks in advance

        There are some great picture display/slideshow examples here, all in CSS so no additional scripts or coding needed:

        Hi,

        It's in HTML, nothing complicated. Here's the first bit of coding, it's a bit cramped here, copy it to Notepad for clarity.

        Let me know if there's anything else.

    I'd like a picture website where you click on the next picture and each picture has it's own URL. But visitors can add photos to the website. I can delete any bad content and visitors can;t see the gallery, they just see the picture and have the option to see the next or last picture.

    Like this but better and where visitors can add photos - Pooh writing for help! | Bkup

    Anyone help with this?

    Yeah that's the type of thing I am looking for.

    Don't want the comments and a few things slightly different though.

    Is that a wordpress theme?

    I would highly encourage you to take some interest in Wordpress. There are thousands of picture gallery themes that you can choose from that look stunningly professional.

    I am not sure the exact specifications and parameters you want your new photo website to contain but if you have a Wordpress account and you're logged in, go to Appearance > Themes in the main menu and search for themes to use but before you search, there is a function that lets you put a check mark on all the parameters you want your website to have (photos, membership, colors).

    Hope this helps!
