I have been browsing the web and see allot of great artist sites. Some have great work but lack in web design, promotion know how. Not everyone can be expected to know how to do everything.

There are special websites that they can post their work, but they are way over priced.

Has anyone else found a great script or software, low cost, or better yet GPL that would allow artists (Photographers,Models, etc. are artists) to get a great website online. Fast and Easy

I have found a few here

Thank you

I think I can probably give you a huge group of tips for this.

First, before you try out microstock (shutterstock, dreamstime, istock, fotolia, etc), you should give more traditional agencies a try. Alamy, myLoupe, photographer's direct are much better in terms of pay. Why sell 100 images for 25 cents when you can sell 1 image for 500 dollars?

Second, in terms of good websites, your cheapest route would be to pay for your domain through a host like godaddy and then set up a free website through someone like sitebuilder.com.
Now, if you want your site to host ALL of your images, then you're likely going to want something with a lot of storage. My father is a photographer, and he uses exposuremanager.com to host his collection. It's 150/yr for unlimited storage. The other main site like this is smugmug.com.

Good luck with the stock earnings, let me know if you've got more questions.
