I am the son of a professional photographer in Los Angeles. In the process of developing a site for him, I've created an easy to use web-interface that allows photographers to manage their galleries/portfolios online. The details are listed below. If you are interested, please email me at ( tyler at yourchunk dot com ). This program is not a template driven program. The program will not replace a site design. Basically it was designed to be integrated into existing site designs as a back-end way for photographers to manage their photos. Here are the details:

CWS Gallery

Description: CWS Gallery is a web-based gallery/portfolio management program
developed for professional and amateur photographers. CWS Gallery was
created as an application that can be integrated into existing web site
designs. It is not a "template" program where all sites look similar. The
user-interface is extremely easy to use and allows the user complete control
over the layout of the galleries.

Details:

• Create/Delete/Activate/Inactivate photo galleries
• Galleries can be renamed and ordered however the user desires
• CWS Gallery allows an unlimited number of galleries
• Photos can be uploaded into the galleries individually or through mass
upload (.zip or .tar archive files)
• Thumbnails are created through an easy-to-use interface that allows the
user to crop thumbnails from the original upload (no photo editing
software necessary - web-based application)
• Thumbnails can be arranged horizontally or vertically with the click of
a button
• User has total control over layout (space between thumbnails, size of
thumbnails, border, border color, border size, etc.)
• Photos can be ordered within each gallery however the user desires
• Thumbnails can be recropped at any time
• Password protected galleries can be created for current client projects
• No HTML or other programming experience needed
• Runs on all browsers - Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, Safari,
etc.
• CWS Gallery runs on PHP with a MySQL database

Examples:

Two current examples of sites using CWS Gallery are
http://www.jerrygarns.com and http://www.judyphanphotography.com.

Pricing:
$399 per site - includes free setup
Other products range from $299 to $4,000. Most have monthly fees. With CWS Gallery, clients will be charged once for the application and that's it.

Special Promotion:
Until February 1st we are offering a free two week trial (free setup included).

Future Versions:
The next version of the program will allow for captions on each photo and will integrate the option of the "lightbox" effect. You can see the lightbox effect in action at another site we recently completed:

will be available to current clients for $99.
