Welcome to our online Gallery & Gift shop
You will find most of the standard web pages have been created for you, including a contact page with an email form and a sample photo gallery. All of these pages can be renamed, edited (or even deleted) to suit your requirements. You can also add extra pages at any time.
This is your home page where you should add a striking photo (or two) with a couple of paragraphs to capture your visitors attention. Do not be tempted to add too much text to this or any of your web pages because visitors will simply not read it all, so keep the text informative and add a couple of photos to add extra interest.
Also, for the benefit of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) you should use key words and phrases (in your text) that people might use to find you. So, for example, if you are a Wedding Photographer in Kent, then people in that area are more likely to search for 'Wedding Photographers in Kent' rather than just Wedding Photographers. So, make sure that you include this phrase in your intro text.

IMPORTANT - Please Read This...
When uploading images for display within your website pages (like the sample photo on this home page) always RESIZE your images to the actual screen display size (the size that they will appear in the web page) and at 72dpi. Do not upload un-resized images as they will be too large to fit on the screen. As a guide, the sample photo above is 250 x 395 pixels.
Images for uploading into your main photo galleries (via FTP) should be resized to a max 800pixels width @ 72dpi before uploading.The optimum image size is 600 x 600 pixels (ie: where the width and the height does not exceed 600 pixels). Images greater than 800 x 600 will be auto-resized, but they will take longer to upload, so to save you time it is best to resize them first.
