Gallery 2 Photography Hosting

What is Gallery 2?

Gallery 2 is a free website software product that allows you to easily manage your photos on your own professional website, and with one of our hosting plans you will also get email so you can easily stay in touch with your clients.

Gallery 2 is ideal for professionals and amateurs who are looking for a low cost, but highly professional website for their business, or just for fun!  Gallery 2 is definitely suited for portfolio based websites where you want to display your work with the option for sale, and have pages on your site to present your services or information about yourself.

Gallery 2 is not easy to customize, so if you do wish to use this solution and want a professional looking website, it is highly recommended that you order our Gallery 2 customization service.

Photo Protection

Gallery 2 can automatically watermark your photos with your copyright logo and website address, or anything else you want to put as a copyright.  With our Gallery 2 customization you also have the option for right mouse click disabling, which offers a little more protection.

Using our advice and incorporating this into your workflow for preparing images for the web, your images will truly be protected from inappropriate use.

It's Easy to use

Gallery 2 is very powerful, yet very easy to use.  All administration of your website is performed in your web browser, including creating albums and adding photos.  Gallery 2 automates thumbnail generation and resizing of photos if you want to offer a number of resolutions to your visitors.
