Quickly, photographer wants to expose his most beautiful photographies. A photo gallery
on the internet allows them to be viewed by a lot of people. But the HTML code, which composes
pages on the internet, is leaded by some
great principles.
And it's better to know them in order to not discourage possible visitors.
As soon as there are lot's of pictures to display, creation and update of the gallery become difficult
and boring. A gallery needs in fact as much HTML pages as pictures. Several techniques exist to generate them
automaticaly :
-
Javascript allows the visitor's browser to build dynamically the gallery. All the pictures can
in that case be displayed with an only generic
display page. With this methode, the gallery is created as soon as the visitor visits the pages.
-
The principle of one page by picture can also be conserved if a software generates all the HTML files.
This is done by some commercial software (some of them are presented in the french language web site
"Publication HTML" indicated in the links).
However it's not difficult to create our
own software.
