Web Photos Pro uses a skin (or template) to format your photo albums.

Web Photos Pro 1.0 comes with a choice of two great-looking skins – one with a white background, and one with a black background. (Future versions of Web Photos Pro will come with a wider variety of skins to choose from, as well as color schemes for each skin.)

If the built-in skins don’t look right for your site, don’t worry, creating a skin to match your existing web site is easy.

What is a skin?

A skin is comprised of HTML, CSS, skin-variables, and skin-controls. If you’re familiar with programming, or if you’ve created Movable Type templates, you’ll have no problem understanding how to build a Web Photos Pro skin.

All HTML and CSS in a skin is output directly, while the skin-variables and skin-controls output page specific information such as the page title, album name, image information, etc..

Where do I start?

The first place to start is to read the skins documentation.

Customized Skin Design Service

We’ve had several people ask whether we will help design a custom skin. The answer is yes!

If you have an existing web site, we can help you create a set of web skins that will make your photo pages look exactly like your web site.

The basic charge for creating a set of three skins (Gallery skin, Album skin, and Image skin) for use with Web Photos Pro is $75*.

To create a set of six skins (Gallery skin, Album skin, Image skin, Find skin, EXIF skin and Error skin) for use with Web Photos Pro Server Edition is $100*.
