I did my main photography website by old fashion way. Writing the code.
Take a look at
blogger.com it's totally free.
Here are a couple of my blogger.com blogs:
Houston Sports Photographer Brenda Read
Photographer Brenda Read Reviews Nikon Cameras & Gear
There are a ton of companies that make online products just for developing sites for photographers.
liveBooks - home - editable websites and online marketing tools for photographers is very popular.
