Hey, I'm very swamped with work at present so as long as its not too urgent I could help you out
What are you looking for exactly? Something to show your art? Like a portfolio website
Let me know

yeh a portfolio with some animation in flash

So in terms of structure you're looking for something like this?
Home page:
Portfolio content since most people will want to see this first and it is the first thing you want people to see
About page:
A page containing a short write up about yourself
Contact page:
Basic contact details and a contact form
The structure is pretty consistent with what most people use as a portfolio website due to its success. I'm busy putting a template together which you could use as its pretty versatile and its appearance is easily changed via XML files.
Heres some screenshots of it:

The advantages of going the template route is that its really cheap. Once I finalize it and its uploaded I can let you know how much it will cost but it will probably be less than US$40
If you require something made from scratch and unique to you then its usually more expensive. IT can range from US$600 upwards depending on design requirements
I usually advise people to go with the templates because they are cheaper and fairly easy to use
I hope this helps
Let me know
By the way is it getting warm in France now?

Sorry for the late reply, I was at a game reserve for the weekend
Well most of the designs on the templates allow for background changes, and obviously content changes. So you end up with something pretty unique. Here's an example of what I mean
These images are the same template but they've been used differently and have a different appearance. The only thing which is the same is the layout.

So you can see there's quite a lot of difference in using one template based on what content you add to it.
So what direction do you want to go, something unique? or a template?

Jip. There is not much point to art or photography if you don't allow it to take root in reality where other people can be touched by it too

I couldn't have said it better even if I tried
Photography is one of my hobbies, I can see why you enjoy it so much. What camera and other equipment do you use?

I just have an entry level camera. Canon 450D with standard 18 - 55mm lens and then a macro 90 - 300mm lens. Nothing special but its an awesome hobby

You don't need anything special to take a great photograph
