I collected all the best free photo editing services, which will keep You busy for quite a while and You will receive amazing results – maybe funny, maybe silly – but You’ll get original photos and few more reasons to smile.

Well, and if you’re interested in photo editing the same way as I am, what about taking step further? Currently everybody is using Facebook to show off their latest photos, images, experiments with photos (in this case), well while it’s good and easy – haven’t you ever wanted to own your own site?

Your own personalized photo gallery you can modify as you want? I remember how I loved to edit and customize my Myspace theme, but Facebook sort of takes it all off – you don’t have a lot of chances to do some customization.  But what I could do if I really wanted my own website address, my own website to get impression from others, stand out and enjoy whole process in the meantime?

What I did in my early days was simply to use website builder, I didn’t have any coding skills, but Adobe Dreamweaver and Frontpage offered some simple ways to setup your own site quickly and without big efforts. Time has gone though and now there are even ONLINE website builders and Squarespace for example allowing you to create your own flash (animated) site in easy WYSIWYG editor.

And what’s the best thing they are free, not like those previous softwares I mentioned before, allows amazing customization and you don’t need any programming skills, you just need little passion and time to play with colors and customizations! :) The same way as for photo editing sites below, you’re also capable of choosing from 100′ of free templates from the Wix Site builder. While there are definitely other similar sites, I just wanted to go into quality not quantity and share the one I actually use in my occasional projects (or just to make a nice surprise for a friend, by creating unique photo based website for him!).
