Im looking for a website so i can post my pics, i know flickr is free but i dont particularly want to use flickr,

which is best site to buy hosting from and that use pre made templates, or is it better to try and do things myself using wordpress.

wordpress has some nice photography based templates if you wanted to get your own domain and hosting

wordpress autofocus theme
hosting from tcohost, 123reg for the domain

i see some of the pre made websites are nice but pricy!

i made mine with wordpress: http://carringtonphotography.net
it was really easy using a purchased template from themeforest
domain and hosting was from vidahost

photocrati theme works well

domain and hosting from vidahost +1

I think Pixelpost is the easiest.

Photocrati and Vidahost for me too.

www.500px.com is a stunning website, not posted any pictures yet so not sure how that is, but it's worth checking out.

There is some stunning work on there - http://www.500px.com/popular

Nice thing about 500px is that is auto creates a portfolio website for you.

I second that Nick.

You may wish to consider openphoto going forwards, it looks promising. Either host your own or use their service (if you can get an invite code..)

If it's commercial then I'd probably use 500px in some form or do something custom. I don't like WordPress personally, partly because it looks like every other WordPress photography site ever made and partly because WordPress is the shoddiest, most bug ridden bit of code I've ever seen in widespread use.

i might have got a friend to build me a site FOC

if he can build me a site i just need to find decent host. maybe vidahost
i do like the look of that 500px tho.
