OK so Im looking to re do my website. I have always used Frontpage as I like the fact you can see what your doing, move bits etc etc but the photo galleries are pants :thumbsdown:

is there any software out there like frontpage, but with decent photo galleries??

OR

From so you want a website thread:

Slapo said:
Self-hosted solutions:
If you have a domain or a subdomain and sufficient amount of web space to go with it, you can use a gallery solution.

Dynamically generated galleries that include an administration interface for uploading photos and managing your online galleries can be quite nice, you can find a short list here:
http://opensourcecms.com/ (click on Image Galleries in the menu on the left).
I can recommend Coppermine and Gallery 2.
If you need more than a gallery, something like a personal website with a contact form and a gallery, I suggest using Jaws or Dragonfly CMS (Dragonfly integrates Coppermine gallery). There are more, but I found these two to be rather easy to setup and get going. More can be found on the http://opensourcecms.com/ website.
If you're looking for a blog-type system, then there's e.g. Wordpress. It's very popular and there's loads of themes and plug-ins available for it.
Pixelpost isn't too bad if you're looking for a photo blog either.
Again, more of them can be found on the http://opensourcecms.com/ website.

If you want a solution in Flash, try these:
Simpleviewer
Flash Gallery
Art Flash Gallery
Flash Image Gallery
I don't like them, but some people love their flashy looks.

Offline gallery generators:
Jalbum - this one's quite popular. There are similar programs, e. g. in Python, but they're not as fast to install (you will most likely need a few extra things to install before it runs) and their templates are generally... pretty ugly.
Namu6 - it's more of a personal website editor, but if you don't have many photos, it can serve you well.

KompoZer - Easy Web Authoring
KompoZer is a WYSIWYG web editor that allows you to build websites in an easy way, using a visual interface. It is essentially an updated version of Nvu with bug fixes. You can learn how to create a website using KompoZer with thesitewizard.com's tutorial How to Design and Publish Your Website with KompoZer.

SeaMonkey Composer (Mozilla Composer)
Seamonkey, the web browser suite from Mozilla, comes with a WYSIWYG web editor that allows you to quickly code web pages using a wordprocessor-like interface. For more information, please read the detailed review of the Mozilla Composer on thesitewizard.com. You can also find a comprehensive tutorial on How to Design and Publish Your Website with Mozilla Composer there.

Amaya Web Browsing and Authoring
Amaya is an open source browser and WYSIWYG web authoring environment that purports to allow its users to develop web pages without knowing anything about HTML or CSS. You can create your pages and view them using this software. It supports CSS, HTML, XHTML, MathML 2.0 (which allows you to browse and write web pages containing mathematical symbols), etc. There are versions for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. A more detailed review of this editor can be found in the article: Review of Amaya: W3C's Free WYSIWYG Web Authoring Environment.

Trellian WebPAGE
Trellian WebPAGE is a free WYSIWYG web editor with a drag and drop interface, a preview screen that allows you to see your page under three common screen widths (640, 800 and 1024), built-in FTP uploader, table creation wizard, form creation tool, etc. It also has a syntax highlighting HTML editor for people who may want to switch to the HTML mode for some fine tuning.

Nvu - Complete Web Authoring System
(Update: Nvu has been discontinued. Beware of scam sites pretending to be the Nvu website and asking for donations/support. The official site is gone, and there are no replacement sites. In the meantime, use KompoZer, which is just Nvu with some bug fixes and a new name.) Nvu is a WYSIWYG editor that is designed to make the creation of web sites as easy for novices as it is using commercial web editors like DreamWeaver. It is based on the Mozilla Composer web editor (see elsewhere on this page) and includes new features that will eventually make its way back into Mozilla Composer. This open source editor is available for Linux and Windows. You can find a tutorial on How to Design and Publish Your Website with Nvu on thesitewizard.com. There is also a longer review of Nvu available.
