Backlight Consulting

Consulting and Site Design

The Turning Gate products are a do-it-yourself set of web site and web gallery tools. They're designed so that individual photographers can create and manage their own websites; websites that look professionally designed at that!

But, just like learning to use your camera and honing your craft, this takes some effort and there is a learning curve to using the tools.

I know, you're saying "But I'm a photographer, not a web designer, damn it!" I hear you. I was there once. Until my curiosity and natural affinity for geeky tech things got the better of me.

And so this site was born to help other photographers find their way through the, at first, overwhelming set of options that the TTG plug-ins offer.

I welcome questions about setting up and using the TTG plug-ins as well as questions about customizing beyond what the plug-ins themselves can do. I am happy to answer them.

But if you need more help than can be provided by answering one or two quick questions,  I've got some options below.


Site set up and customizing
