Web Gallery Publishing Software

Hi all,
I shoot mainly wedding and portrait and have just moved from film to digital (Canon 5D). Whilst I am looking to purchase Aperture, as I understand it, it only generates standard HTML galleries for the web.

I would like to hear from any professional or semi-professional photographers who use other software for web publishing. I am looking for something a little more flashy (excuse the pun) perhaps that incorporates flash programming that would be easy for a photographer to implement onto their website.

Also, links to other photographers websites with flash would be useful.

Has anyone developed their own software for this application?

You might be interested in SlideShowPro. I haven't used it, but I've seen it used on one blog and one wedding site and it looks fairly slick.

Simpleviewer hands down - easy does it

I am a huge fan of simpleviewer! Especially combined with the admin module, it creates a neat and easy managed "gallery" environment.

Edit .... its free!

Thanks!

Well as Hoef mentioned here Simpleviewer is a simple and free! 'app' that gives a similar result, an alternative if you will

I've used it before and it's worked quite well, and doesn't take up that much space online either

Photoshop The Bomb

I generally use Photoshop for all web galleries on sites I build. It's the best/ fastest tool I've ever used and I have used many, including CMS's, PHP, etc...
Also, you can customize the templates to match your...or a clients site so that galleries are generated ready for the web in a few clicks.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Your galleries look flashed based. Is that how photoshop has generated them? I was unaware that photodhop could create galleries in flash?

Cheers for all your replies guys
