website hosting

[GMTILT]

I am looking to upgrade my gmtilt.com website so that it looks better and I want click on the pictures to make them larger, my website host doesn't have that or offer it , what website hosts do some of you guys recommend?

gmtilt.com is mine, but I want it better and more details in the pictures, I am doing metal work on a Camaro and I want to get it on there with a nice setup , any suggestions ? Jim

That's more of an issue for your website design not your webhoster.

The click a picture and have it larger is mostly done using light boxes today

The hoster just hosts stuff, doesn't care what it is, the website controls how it is presented.

However I use dreamhost and have also heard very good things about hostgator

I agree, it's not the hosting company, it's the site itself. You could re-do the site and have it completely different; slideshows, whatever and still be hosted exactly as it is right now.

You could either have your site changed around or find a new template (layout) you like and add your pics and content to it.

As other have said, it's not your hosting provider, it's your website.

There is a ton of JavaScript code that makes the images do what you want.

Take a look at:

Do you have someone that makes your webpages?

If doing the sites yourself, look at Wix or Wordpress, lots of pre-built plugins and heaps of templates, makes doing this stuff easy

I second the Wordpress suggestion. Lots of nice templates out there for few bucks. Lots of hosting options as well.
