Im looking for a Easy Wordpress template for my Real Estate Photography Business

[moanakula]

Im looking for a Easy Wordpress template for my Real Estate Photography Business. I want the home page to have a slide show going on with my work (not Flash). Also want to be able to give my clients a private password so they can download their photo themselves once I receive payment. I will usually collect payment by either Paypal or personal check prior to the photoshoot date. I am not selling any print work so not looking for the monthly feee type Smugmug or Zenfolio format. I prefer a black background template and want to add some pages like About Us, Pricing, Services etc.... Any suggestions are welcome and as much like to have a free template, I wont mind paying as well for a professional look and feel. I alreay have a company logo made, domain name and also looking for a hosting site. I used GoDaddy many time is the past and open to options on that as well. Please add a weblink and the name of the Wordpress Template if possible. This would make things easier to view. I appreciate any help and found this site by chance.

You might be also interested on a portfolio theme? If so, try PhotoTouch theme. Its a combination of portfolio and a gallery in homepage.

I seen the photocrati templates and some look great. I noticed Wordpress was originally created for blog type sites, Is there a way to not include the blog with these Wordpress themes?

Yes. Create PAGES not BLOGS in setup. Actually, you CAN have both if you want.

Can you also have a secret password or link assigned to paid clients for them to download only their photo files? I do that in Picassa right now.

[HughGuessWho]

Yes. You would set each clients own directory and password protect each.

Thanks Hugh....I think Wordpress has a lot of flexibility and Photocrati looks geared for people like myself the more I read and hear about it. Do you have a website up and running?

[HughGuessWho]

I have several sites, but none that are photography related yet.
This may be a theme like you are looking for, has a "client gallery" area.
Photo Workshop
At the top of page, click on Photos > Client Gallery
I hope this helps

Hugh...That one is really close to what I am looking for. Wonder if you know of others that have private link to clients files? I was thinking of leaving their files up on their own link to download for only a certain period of time. (maybe 2 weeks or so). Something like what I do with Picassa. Thanks for sharing this template. You are really helping me a lot on my search. I appreciate that very much!

I'm using 'Chateau' - for a free layout it suits my needs fine, but I certainly look forward to when I can justify a paid site!
