Use Your Website (not Flickr!) to Build an Online Photo Gallery

Posted by in How To / Tips on October 27, 2011


Whether you’re a photographer, a personal trainer, a freelance graphic designer, a jeweler, or any other type of small business owner, you want to highlight your best work on your website.

Why keep photos on your website rather than on a photo site like Flickr? A serious business must keep photos of products and services on the company website for one simple reason: a website is where sales are made!

The Webs Photo Gallery App is the easiest way to create a visually appealing photo gallery on a website.

The Photo Gallery App is customizable, user-friendly, and dynamic:

  • Group photos into albums; organize albums into categories
  • Upload multiple photos at one time
  • Rotate, crop, resize, and recolor photos within the app
  • Give each photo a title and caption
  • Let others (like members or moderators) add photos
  • Choose whether or not to let people comment on photos


What will the Photo Gallery look like to my site visitors?

In a word: sophisticated. You can set your photo albums to play as slideshows (with the option to go full-screen) if you want to dazzle viewers with your amazing portfolios or product lines. If you’d rather emphasize communication and engagement, set your albums as “social galleries” with comments enabled. Learn more by watching the following video:

Enjoy showing off your brilliant work!

I own two websites. One (my featured one: waterslidedatabase.com) I paid for and I use the site builder for. The other (midgetman82.webs.com) I use for free and use the advanced option which involves knowing HTTP. I use Flikr for the HTTP site since I did not pay for it and it does not have the photo gallery app. I use the photo gallery app for the paid website since it was available, and it is one of the most useful tools used on the website since I can not only present the photos, but I can use the uploaded photographs all over the website too.

I was really looking for a way to group photos albums in photo albums. However, I click on the “Webs Photo Gallery App” it takes me to a page that says

“You don’t have permission to do that!
Chances are you’ve ended up here in error.”

    @Daniel: Are you looking to change the name that shows-up on the top of your website or the website address(URL)?
