Hello everyone,

so I'm looking to expand my nightclub photography bussines, and want to start a website where I can host the galleries myself. Some photos I take are not suitable for facebook so my own place is important.

Sadly, I'm not really any good with coding, and WordPress in the past has proven to be an easy way to do it. However, I want a really simple layout.

The frontpage is just the logo, socia lmedia links, and photolinks to the galleries. Some example of the simplicity I want:

http://www.kirillwashe​re.com/ (external link)

Are there any wordpress templates that are this simple? I have googled but I can't find anything suitable. Or are there any other options that are easily manageable?

Thanks in advance!

(and I apologize if some sentences are weird, English isn't my first language!)

Assuming you have or will have your own domain, then how about this. It's free too.

You might want to warn people about the nudity on those links.

Thank you for the Portfolio Press link. I'll look into it.

Link your site to a ShootProof Gallery (external link). You can have your galleries public or private and with or without a password. They just charge a subscription fee based on the number of images (under 100 is free) but never a commission. When someone orders, they deduct any lab fees and credit card fees, send the order to one of their labs (ProDPI, Bay Photo, WHCC, Black River) and send the money to you. Or you can self fulfill in which case they deduct only credit card fees. You can also offer digital downloads if you want and those don't incur any lab fees.

Overall it's a very good service and reasonably priced. And it keeps you from having to sort out hosting galleries on your own. You can see mine at work on http://www.myrsphoto.com (external link) (the online ordering page) and The Singular Image (external link) (the gallery page).

Thank you for your input, but I am not planning on selling prints. That's not what works here in the Netherlands (there's a site that offers this but I know from the owners that they haven't sold one print in three years)

It may however be handy information for someone else reading this thread.

Your portfolio is freaking killer man!!! I loved those shots. Especially the one with Trump Tower.

I'd love to take party pictures like that stuff on Kirill Was Here. Such fun shots.
