Hi there, I am reposting this (originally posted in Feb.) with some additional info, as I am now able to better define what I’m looking for… Specifically, I would like to construct a product catalog to present our inventory of antique furniture which looks like [this page](http://www.christopheranthonyltd.com/art/retour-de-carnaval-oil-on-canvas-by-simone-andreani), which is accessed from this [gallery of thumbnails](http://www.christopheranthonyltd.com/art/). I like this page, as the thumbnails zoom on hover; and, when a thumbnail is clicked, it presents a lightbox. Other Considerations: - Currently have ±150 pieces which will eventually grow to 300-400+. - Need Pix + Text. I want to present a particular piece with up to, say, 10 thumbnails alongside its description (several paragraphs of text). This will add up to several thousand pix in total. - Do not want an ecommerce solution, as we actually do not want to display prices (description will have “please contact us for pricing information” blurb). - Should I be concerned about page loading times, with this many pix? (My understanding is warehousing makes the workflow too cumbersome). - Also concerned with having least-painful workflow in terms of creating “listings” Ideas and comments would be valued. Thank you! ---

This is a perfect case for [Total CMS](http://total-cms.com) and the blog function. You can easily filter content based on tags and categories. I wish I would have some examples to show, but I do more support than I do make websites now. Still think this is your best solution to use, as you can easily add and remove content anywhere in the world. ---

Agree, TotalCms is the solution for this. ---

Here is an example of a Catalogue with Poster + Cart: [http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/introducing-postercart-a-free-shopping-cart-project-powered-by-poster-cart2/18717/15?u=yuzool](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/introducing-postercart-a-free-shopping-cart-project-powered-by-poster-cart2/18717/15?u=yuzool) ---

Another vote for TotalCMS here, I use the blog to store individual architectural projects for a practice, each project has many images and descriptive text. What I like most about TotalCMS is that I/others can add, delete, edit projects within a browser from any computer. ---

Hi, I built something extremely similar to what you need for an art gallery few months ago. Here is the final result [https://www.republik52.com/catalogo/catalogo-en-linea/](https://www.republik52.com/catalogo/catalogo-en-linea/) It’s in spanish but you get the idea, it’s completely built with TotalCMS, very powerful set of stacks. Get in contact with me for any suggestion you may need. ---

That is _really_ clever. Nice one! I wonder if @joeworkman could add the ability to integrate a simple cart system that worked with PayPal/Stripe into TCMS? Then you’d have an online shop that clients can update entirely from a web browser. Rob ---
