Create Photo Galleries Websites
Do you need to create your own pictures web gallery? Do you want to upload your photos online on a web album so that your friends can see your photos?
Here are two examples of how your photo gallery portfolio website could look like:
The best way to build a photo gallery website and to create your own personal web album is in my opinion to get a hosting account and use Wordpress to publish your photos on a simple web page. I will explain you in this short article how to create such photo gallery website.
For web hosting I would recommend you using BlueHost or HostGator (they are both equally great web hosts, chosen by many webmasters) and you can have your web album running for less than $10 monthly. Then install Wordpress on your hosting account (download it for free from wordpress.org) and just put on a nice Wordpress theme. I don’t recommend using free hosting for Wordpress, as you will need a MySQL database and free web hosts either don’t have it or if they do, it’s often down and this would cause your photo gallery being down too.
If you don’t know how to install Wordpress, check out my Wordpress installation tutorial. Or if you want, I can set up everything for you for free, the only condition is to sign up for a new BlueHost or HostGator account from the links in the previous paragraph (this way I get a commission for your sign up and my service is paid off). I will also teach you how to use your new web photo album and how to create new posts and upload pictures. Managing Wordpress is easy, you will have your own WP admin panel that you will be using. Just email me your hosting account login details if you want me to install it for you (you will find my email on my WP themes site).
For the layout of your online photo gallery you can use free Wordpress templates, like those from my Wordpress Themes website. As for my own photo web album, I would probably go with one of my free sunset themes.
I hope this helps on how to create your own photo gallery web page!
