Ok so this journal has three purposes:
1) A bit of self promotion to start with lol ! :) I finally have a “proper” website up and running, called Douzy Photography (http://www.douzyphotography.com )
2) The good news for anyone who is looking to have a really professional looking website and is not married to a web developer (lol!) is that they can build a similar site by going to clikpic.com . They have loads of gorgeous templates that are highly cutomizable even by people who haven’t got a clue about computer stuff (e.g. me lol!). You just choose a style, upload photos, et voila! All of this for £35!
3) Anyone who wishes to have their portfolio link featured on my web site please advise and I’ll happily add it.

Nice work! There’s no way to do that from scratch for £35! Looks great. These template things rely on the strength of the images in them to make the site sing, and your images are all great!

Thanks Mike! The template I chose is really simple, that’s the way I wanted it to make my pics “pop”, however they have much bolder designs. I’m so impressed and recommend it to anyone!

Very nice site, Douzy. Simple and uncluttered which helps to emphasize your work. Yes, please go ahead add a link to my portfolio. Thanks!

Wow Douzy – looks a million bucks – really clean and simple and loads up quite quickly – with so many photographers’ websites I’m long gone before their images load up because they have such ritzy Flash displays – takes forever – it’s about the image I reckon and the cleaner and simpler the website the better.

I’ve been looking for another website and looked at Clikpic too ..seemed a great look and good price. Yours does have nice clean lines…as well as great images obviously.
The idea or aim to sell with printing and framing arrangements to be made by self is a limitation I felt. It would be a previlege to be linked to your site.

Looks great after all its the images that count. Please add a link for me if you’re not overrun with requests until I get myself organised to get own, tks

Thanks Deborah, yes please if you could add me to your site (which is fantastic! I just visited it again and realised it was clikpic as well, and similar design, sorry it wasn’t intentional!) it would be awesome :)

I liked the provider I chose because it comes with a shopping cart. Charles Dobbs Photography

I never gave it a thought LOL!!! Never worry about things like that with me – it’s an excellent website you have, just be proud – as for Clikpic – been really pleased too. Will put a link up asap – off to bed very soon – have a great day.

thank you for the information on the new site

Hi Charles your website is stunning – very stylish. I like how the thumbnails are enlarged on roll-over of the mouse. Clikpic also has the option to add a shopping cart and link to paypal, I haven’t done it yet, my website is still a baby! :)

Love your website Douzy, and if you’re still up for links I’d love one! Now I realise how relatively easy it is to make one for myself, I’ll get on with it (NOT being married to a web designer!!) Thanks so much for sharing this informaiton – I think this is what makes the Bubble the place to be.
