Looking for portfolio type website that displays photos/text of designer's work - also should include "about" and "contact" page. Please show samples and what you propose. Website should be fully manageable via a control panel, where admin can input text for 'about' and 'contact' pages (use text editor, so can choose font/stylings), specify contact email (on contact page, it should include a contact form with a captcha, and send email to the email specified in admin panel), and also change the css stylings. On admin panel, user should be able to specify different categories if they would like more than one category, upload photos and the accompanying text (if any) and specify what category it should go to.
Website content style: thumbnails with scrollbar/slideshow/tour -- of that sort...
PHP coding (pure php - not template based) - use php include for header, footer, side columns etc., use mysql database.
