Is there a list of the best high-end photography website designers?
I am talking about the $2000-$3000-$4000 and up websites.
I would like to have a new website but I would like to have something good.

Why not do it yourself with something like Clicpic? you can get the website you want quickly and easily using the system with everything designed with photographers in mind, many have done so and some very impressive sites exist using Clic Pic

I'd suggest keeping track of sites you like and checking out the credits, they often cite the designer. You can easily contact the owner of the site too, I'm sure they would refer the designer to you, especially if you compliment them. You will also get a better sense of what you want for yourself that way.

Hmmh, I think one´s work (images) should impress, not the website.
I am happy with clikpic ;-)

Not to be a downer, but high end web sites and internet applications is my industry. $5000 is very low. You could get the designs (mock-ups) for $5k if it was a very basic site without any special requirements, but no code. When you use words like best high-end, even for a simple site the price range would start closer to $60k all in.

Are you sure you really need high end work? It is usually reserved for companies that have unique needs.

I agree with segedi, an off the shelf site with some css tweaks is more suited for a simple photo site.

I set up a Clickpic site last year. I am very happy with the results but it did take me a long time to get it as I wanted it. The user guides are very basic and there seems to be several different ways of achieving the same results which can make things a bit confusing. But the help staff are very good and answered all my questions quickly. And the price is very good as well!

If you are interested, my site is www.sar-photography.com

Is there any particular feature that you need that can only be had by having a custom built site?

Cheers
Simon

Ok, I just need a $5000 dollar photography website.

Not to sound facetious but do you NEED or do you WANT? :confused: There is a difference.

I agree with segedi, arpinum & SuzanneR. Save your money.

I don't normally plug my wife in the fora I participate in, but you might check her out @ http://www.sarelia.com

She built mine; Dead Link Removed as well as several others;

High end is kind of open ended, BTW. Costs vary depending on complexity. She's built websites for large clients (Hawker Aerospace, Laclede, BioSource) and each client has their own, unique, needs. So yeah, if you need custom application development it's gonna cost $$$$$$$. If your needs are less grandiose, then costs are much lower.

Not for a portfolio website. What you are talking about are database driven websites where you need a designer, front-end developer and backend coders where the site needs to be constantly updated.

I do websites as well and I'm a photographer. If you want something custom, I'm a web designer as well and can help you out, but I agree with most here that you could try Livebooks or APhotoFolio. I used to be with Livebooks for 4 years and was very happy, although if I had to choose now in 2011, I'd go with APhotoFolio because I like their templates better.

If you want something even more cost effective, I'd learn how to use Wordpress. It's free.

Here's my new redesigned site: www(dot)paulcisneros(dot)com

I'm not going to suggest that my site is what you are looking for, as we have different needs, but I can vouch for the work that was done on it by Nick Goward, who designed and programmed it. Site is at Dead Link Removed and you can see some of Nick's other work, and contact him, at http://sicklittlefox.co.uk. It should be within your budget, depending on the scope of work you required.
