Title: Best Mac software for creating a photographic portfolio website?
Post by: pcg on April 16, 2014, 08:58:01 pm

Opinions, please. I'm not a coder and am considering something like Squarespace. But the possibilities seem too numerous to easily decide. I need something to build a site with 6-10 pages, no e-commerce, portfolios per page with decent thumbnails that expand to a far larger size upon clicking. That sort of thing. I'm technical, but not a programmer. Drag and drop is my favorite. :-)

Thanks!

After extensive research I'm now leaning toward using 4ormat.

Again, all opinions welcomed!

I also like the look of portfoliobox.net (http://portfoliobox.net)

Thnx. I ended up choosing 4ormat. My art-related website, suing that platform, is:
www.garnerimages.com

Late response, but APhotoFolio (http://aphotofolio.com) works well and is auto-scaled to all browsers on all devices.

Just a satisfied user.
