Building BobSmithPhotography.net

I spend a lot of time of several photography forums, but I tend to hang out in the web design parts. What can I say, I’m a web nerd. What I realized after helping several people set up sites is that often it’s just getting started with a new website that a lot of people have trouble with. Acronyms like DNS, IP, HTML, ASP, JS, CSS, and PHP are enough to make a budding web designer’s head spin.

Enter BobSmithPhotography.net. Originally the site started as a single posting on Pro Photo Forum on the first steps to take, but it expanded to around 20 posts each going over a step needed for a photographer to get their site up and running. As I wrote it I had more ideas that fit with the tutorial, but not in a thread. So I started Building BobSmithPhotography.net as a place where new web designers can come to find basic information on how to set up a web site. The tutorial section walks through a fictional photographer (Bob Smith) setting up his site, but there are other articles.
