Overview

Online Galleries is a web based Content Management System that was created specifically for artists and designers. The Online Galleries Content Management System (CMS) allows people with little or no web knowledge to update and maintain their own website. An Online Galleries website uses Flash technology so it looks great and is more interactive and intuitive than a standard HTML website. The Online Galleries CMS allows users to batch upload images. It automatically resizes images to fit within and template and also generates thumbnails automatically. This means that users can take pictures directly off their digital camera and have a whole gallery online within a matter of minutes.

Online Galleries Lite is a free version of the Online Galleries System that contains almost all of the tools of the full version. So users can try Online Galleries for free for a whole year and then decide if Online Galleries is right for them.
