Morning onions,

I am hoping someone can give me a little advice this morning. I am building a site for a local photographer and what we have decided to do is as well as having the main site with the odd gallery, her information etc etc is have a seperate area where customers can login and view only the photos from the event she has covered for them.

I will put a 'login here to see your photos' button on the main site which will then link to a seperate area which they can then login with username/password we give them which will take them to (reduced quality and watermarked of course!) their photos - also encouraging friends to go on and look and hopefully order prints too.

What would be the best way to go about this? Do I just add a load of extra pages to the existing site, not include them in the navigation and make these secure and send the user details in an email? How would I go about removing said photos after, say, 3 months as I donot want to archive every single photo on the site indefinitely!! Is there a way to setup a system that she can do this herself EASILY? She is not the next 'architect' if you catch my drift.

As well as weddings etc she goes to a lot of local sporting events for kids (local rugby teams, football etc etc) and we would like to put these on the site as well but in a publicly viewable stylee again with a view for people to buy prints. For this i would like to add a sort of 'news feed' onto the home page that people can click on to view the photos - again if possible it would be good if she could do this. Any ideas?

Thanks for reading i'll keep you posted on how it turns out - might even tell you the address as long as you all promise to be nice!!

Cheers,
Mark
