Just got a call from a new cleint today who wants to do an adult web site. I told him I have not done adult sites yet, but will do it.

In any case, he basically needs an online photogallery for a girl. Every week he will post new images of her. Probably going to be free at first, then later will start charging for it.

Need ideas on:

1. Good php script(s) to run a dynamic site that will allow easy addition of images.

2. Will these scripts allow for "paid access only" later on? If not, how could someone restrict access to such a script to paying members only later on?

3. Any host recommendations for adult hosting sites? Something that will allow probably up to GB's of storage. Good amount of bandwidth, etc.

4. Any other suggestions/ideas? Something I should know that will be useful for creating my first paid adult site? I'm an experienced webmaster but very new to this aspect.

Thanks.

I say, do it by hand. (no pun intended :D)
You can restrict a dir' using .htaccess....

Just get him started and give him instructions, like...


1. when you get new images upload them to this dir'
2. edit the blank page I made you, by adding text to it. (news, promos)


I can't really say that I saw a site like that using 4images, if you know what I mean...

I'm sure there are such scripts but you gotta find one which is nice...
for hosting I'd rather go with ded servers

Please be sure and post a url for review after completion so you can get som expert feedback :D

Check out: http://www.boxxnet.com

They have a lot of scripts for TGP sites etc that you might find handy...no pun intended either! ;)

Make sure you backdoor it so you can download all his titty pictures...

Check hotscripts.com there are many nice php scripts available with a variety of features. Plus new ones are frequently added.

As far as protecting the content simply install the script[s] in two places. One in a preview directory (perhaps users root) the other in a protected subdirectory directory. I use them on sites I design where a gallery and/or images are deployed.

PM/email if you need specific help choosing a script. I am not subscribed to your thread.

I like Gallery (http://gallery.menalto.com) for a simple image script. It would give you a good base to start from.

We have a few adult customers and here is what we can recommend:

For a gallery script (check out AutoGalleryPro, cheap and good, in cgi)
