hello.

so...im going to get a little more serious into model portfolio/fashion/stock work.  and i would like to set up a website specific to it.  rather than have a custom site designed again.  since this is a side project so to speak.  im looking to just download a premade site. 

i saw another thread about templatemonster but would rather not support them.

anyone know any other sites that offer a service like this?  i know there are some for weding photographers out there arent there?

thanks in advance.

don't do it Jason! step away from the prefab templates, your work is too good to be associated with that type of dribble.

send me a message and I'll build you the site you need, we can work out a deal with regards to payment ... I'm desperate for old stuff so just start packaging up things in the studio you no longer want, I'll build you a site that's as good as your photos and when you're happy, send those boxes my way.

A company that makes some real nice flash templates is www.phasenorth.com

My fiancee had hers done by them all in it cost her about $500 to have them finish it.

Jason, can you clarify....are you looking to just showcase your work for prospective clients or are you actually looking to do that ANd host/sell stock shots?

I have to agre with Cris Ross, Your photos ROCK! Don'y make yourself look cheap with a crappy template site. YUCK!! Start surfing photographer websites and get some ideas for your site. You will come across some template sites and I'm sure you will agree that they look pretty cheap.
GOOD LUCK

Just customize a free http://www.blogger.com blogger template. So simple. Up and running in minutes, and better for search engines and internetworking of links.
