    Website/gallery for artwork

    My mum's asked me to set her up a website/gallery for her artwork as people have been asking lately if she has a site.
    Problem is I'm not sure of any good sites for that type of thing. What I'm looking for is a site where I can make a gallery (or a couple for the different things she does) and then a page about her/her work and contact info.
    It doesn't matter if it's a bit tricky to setup as I'll be doing that for her but it needs to be easy to add/remove pictures as she'll need to be able to do that herself as I don't live close.
    Thanks

    I assume you could make a gallery on a site like flickr or photobucket (i've never used either though)

    You could also get a web hosting account with PHP and MySQL and set up Joomla with an image gallery plugin. That would seem the most professional. Go with a minimalistic, but stylish template and put contact info, etc.

    Thanks will have a look for a free web host for joomla, zenfolio looks good but isn't free.

    If you want to make a nice looking web gallery for offline use, just import all the photos into f-spot, and export as "Folder". This will not help unless you want to host the code yourself though.

    Oh, wow, that's cool. I never knew about F-Spot, thanks!

    Check out Google Picasa Web Album. I put most of my photos in there and i can share it with other people by copy and paste the link.

    Most CMS's have the ability to do that, with addons. I've used this http://www.phpalbum.net/ and http://coppermine-gallery.net/ . I do prefer coppermine, but it is bulky. Is she using a CMS or anything now?
    Running a forum? Check out MyBB.

    Hands down....DeviantArt.com is the best place.
