There are many options for setting up an online photo gallery in conjunction with a Content Management System, and some gallery systems operate as a stand alone application with advanced functions to manage and display photos from a database. Touch and Click can help you sort through the options to find a solution that meets the needs of your archive and scales to the number of photos you and your community will be hosting. Small, personal photo galleries can be easily managed through a Content Management System and the images can be pulled into site pages, blog posts, and forums to provide graphics. Artists, photographers, or media groups may wish to implement a more stylish design for their gallery interface, and use Flash applications to serve images dynamically or Lightbox features to enlarge thumbnails in full browser overlays. Large archives and communities with multiple users submitting photos to the gallery will be advised to go with a dedicated third party system like Gallery2. One of the best Open Source applications available today, Gallery2 has the most extensive features for online photo gallery management from a mySQL database and can be completely customized to the design of your website. Gallery2 will also integrate with Drupal, Joomla, and other popular CMS websites to provide an extremely powerful online photo gallery solution robust enough for any user community. Touch and Click specializes in Gallery2 installations, configuration, and design and can be contracted to build websites based upon its Open Source architecture.
