Best Image Gallery Option

tkayoe

Recently I've been designing and adding t-shirt images for sale using YabDab’s PaySnap. The images have been warehoused on my server. And, are on the site via HTML stacks.

Here’s the site: http://tkayoe.com/cool_tees.php

The images display, but slowly. I’ve started considering using an image gallery in hopes of speeding up the images display. The challenge is I’m unsure which is best suited for my needs.

In addition to image display speed, I also want the lightbox zoom effect that can contain a link that take the user to a check out page to purchase. Also, I’d like the gallery to contain numbered page links and the bottom of every page.

Ideally I’d like an image gallery that can display similar to these sites:
http://www.imagemarket.com/DesignsAllInOne.aspx#19
http://gandyink.com/gi/index.php?Title=Rhythm-Designs-Band&PageID=22&uid=1707814392

The gallery options I’m considering are:
http://weaveraddons.com/stacks/ultimate-gallery/
http://joeworkman.net/rapidweaver/stacks/image-gallery/
http://www.yourhead.com/collage/index.html

Hopefully, I’m not missing another viable option. If so, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

You've got some good ideas already. A couple more you may want to look at:

RWExtras: Mauricio offers a wide variety of image stacks. One of them may be great for you.

weaverPix: this is a plugin. Very powerful. Greg (developer) is currently working on version 3. I have no idea when it's due out, but it will have major enhancements. weaverPix is already great, will be getting better. check out barchard.net
