Hi,

I'm looking to set up Gallery2 for selling my photos.

As far as I can tell, I'm not looking for anything out of the ordinary, but the complexity of Gallery2 is staggering and am looking for someone who could help me achieve what I want for a small fee.

What I need to do is:
- Install a decent theme (And find one - I've only found about 10 themes??)
- Set up paypal so that users can purchase different resolutions of the image
- Implement watermarking for non-purchased images
- Have the facility to add static pages e.g. "About me", "Services", "Contact me", etc
- Configure PHP to allow uploads of up to 10MB
- Probably a few extra basic fine-tuning requirements

I'm happy to do the changes myself, but I would need pointing to some very specific tutorials! The amount of documentation on Gallery2 is quite phenomenal and very hard to find exactly what I need - the learning curve is very steep.

Please get back to me with a quote - I want to achieve this with absolute minimum cost since my alternative would be to buy a commercial equivalent - I've found suitable apps from $13 but the ones that I'd rate as perfect seem to start at $300. I'd rather not spend more than $80, since I'm just starting out and not made a single penny from my photographs yet!

Thanks! I look forward to hearing!

Good luck with that!

I'm only really looking for a guidance from someone who's done that with G2! I'm not expecting someone to take their time doing it, really just pointing me to the right resources and a little help configuring. If necessary I can do a bit of PHP/HTML coding if it's not too complicated...
