I want to see if I understand...

You want to create a site to exhibit their photographs?

I know two:

https://www.photoshop.com/account/join [but i think this is available only in Portuguese version]

If your website provider uses PHP which is common with Linux based OS, you will find a whole host of free php gallery programs for your website. Take your time and look them over good, as some of them are easier to break in than others are. You want the most secure apps for your website, or you will be spammed/hacked/any other crap they can throw at you. If possible look at what your provider recomends, they may have some apps on their site or links to what they recommend.

aedinucf,

Since you mentioned you are familar with Adobe Creative Suite, but didn't say which version is which?

Secondly, I would recommend that you research further by google on 'responsive web design' concept using with HTML5/CSS3. As you know, more people have the access to all kind of gorgeous toy, perhaps all of them including smartphones, tablets and computer (whether if it is laptop or desktop), it is wise to design responsive web design. Knowing HTML5/CSS3 will help a lot.

Secondly, I would think it is wise for you to hire a talented web designer to help you with website development as you are probably busy being photographer. I have no idea about your comfort zone with HTML/CSS coding, or your knowledge.

Yes, you are correct about Flash-based website is no good for obvious reason. I know that there are whole bunch of photographers out there still are using Flash-based websites for their photography busienss. They probably lose some potential clients or increase business because of Flash-based website not viewed on smartphone or tablet, especially smartphone and tablet. Not only that, flash-based files load slowly on smartphone/tablets.

I have seen some gorgeous photography websites that have HTML5/CSS3 with some interesting galleries presentation - none used with Flash at all. You are encouraged to research on responsive web design concept.

Hope that helps.

Another thought. Ask your web provider what they are using for server software. It generally breaks down to two apps, either MS windows server or Apache. If you have the necessary authorization for controling your web site (generally not so for free web sites) you can create a folder that is password protected.

Then you can use either photoshop or lightroom to create a gallery for that client/folder. Give the password to the cliend then they can view the contents of that folder.

Note: Do not confuse the use of a password for that folder with the password you use to control the website. Your ftp password needs to remain private to keep unwanted attackers from trashing your site and possibly other customers if your server is a shared system.

This also means that your client should only view the folder through a website url and not your ftp url.

you can use for bilder illustrator then you buil yor website with dreamweaver or you can start with the CMS like Joomla or Wordpress them make your on template with dreamweaver

You could us a content managment system like wordpress good for having an photoghaphy theme website, enjoy it

I have also just discovered that in Flash via adobe exchange you can get free galleries and in Dreamweaver, you can pay for one - obviously i haven't tested them. just a thought.

Flash website is not good for SEO point of view. Such sites that you want to create are very advanced and you must learn some script languages like PHP, CSS and HTML etc. If you only want to use Adobe product then Dreamweaver etc. I create my sites on wordpress like Watch Indian Drama Online , Cricket and more.
