We can help you build some fantastic online image galleries, which you
can use to showcase photos of events, a portfolio of your work, or even
provide a press resource area of your site with hi-resolution photos.
Some of our clients use these galleries to sell photos printed up as
tshirts, mugs, calendars and the like, while others enjoy featuring
them on the site as an an attractive and easy to manage way of showing
albums of images which can be sent on by email.
There are three ways to show a gallery of images:
- Just putting them in the content as you would with text (it's so easy, and if we've built your site then you already have the tools for this!
- Using Joomla's "Simple Image Gallery Pro" to automatically show all the photos you upload in a particular folder.
- Using Coppermine Gallery - a fully manageable online gallery with limitless options such as eCommerce, eCards, commenting etc.
So, let's go through them in turn and see what's most appropriate for your site!
1. In Line Content
You should already be confident with updating the textual content of
your site. Adding images is not as daunting as it may at first seem,
and you can choose the layout and alignment within the tools we have
provided for you. Click on the button to insert and image, and you'll
find a help button in there if you get stuck. As always, you can drop
us a line if it seems confusing and we'll talk you through it!
2. Simple Image Gallery Pro
This shows a gorgeous layout of images in your site, in any content
item you choose. You simply upload the images to a folder of your
choice, and tell the content the name of that folder - it will
automatically create the thumbnail images on the fly and display them.
We've provided simple instructions here.
3. Coppermine Galleries
Coppermine provide a fabulous Open Source gallery that 3B have implemented many times for clients with varied requirements.
At its most configured, it is a vast image bank, storing images of
differing sizes and resolutions in an easily search-able and attractive
interface. Users can send each other Ecards (a terrific way of
propagating images whilst bringing recipients back to your website), as
well as submitting comments and rating images.
The Coppermine gallery dovetails neatly into any website design, and is completely configurable in terms of look and feel.
