How to Build a Photo Gallery Website

Personalize your photo album at the My Photo Album website. This site features hundreds of different themes from weddings to new baby to gardening. You get to choose your own easy to remember web address and you can organize your photos into main albums with sub-albums. You pick your own layout and you can even add covers and frames to your photos.

Get crazy with text balloons, "stickers" and more with Photobucket. The website has a fantastic selection of photo editing tools that allow you to do everything from crop and resize photos to add freaky filters to images. The site's photo albums allow you to drag and drop photos to move and modify them to your liking.

Get your photos organized at Picasa, google's photo sharing site.Correction tools are available here, too, so no one has to be seen with ghastly red eyes. But Picasa has cornered the market on organization. Picasa can automatically search your hard drive for images and sorts them in a matter of seconds. You can also arrange your photo collections with "name tags," which sorts the pictures according to the people featured in them. Picasa makes high resolution images available to your viewers to download and print.

Integrate your photos with eBay's Auction Wizard or create iPhoto compatible photocasts with Fototime. You can get viewing statistics with Fototime's album activity stats.

Get superior customer service and "gorgeous" albums with Smugmug. The advertising free interface combined with multiple levels of privacy protection and quick response to help requests is reassuring. The site features a cool tool which allows certain images to display along with Google maps.
