before you build one, ask the reason for it, do you want to sell anything or is it just for displaying? need a forum or not?
there are several easy programs to build a website with including pictures.
I use Jalbum with the photoplayer skin. 
look at http://www.jalbum.net

I use the Sunpak ebox studio. I got it from Amazon and it is not expensive and works well

Thank you for your help with the website.  Marc, I have ask myself all those questions, and decided to build it with the idea of selling my woodwork.  Thank you for your helpful words.  hkboat, thank you for your link to amazon.  Mainwoods, do you remember where Steve's posting was on his site?
