I use the mac.com webserver to present my photo galleries at present, which is part of the .Mac service and integrates very tightly with the Mac OS X Finder and file system. Makes things easy.

With that, I can use Apple's automated "Homepage" web page assembling software, which I use occasionally, or I can construct my own HTML or use an HTML generating application. My PAW work is presented in HTML pages that I write myself (although I designed the template years ago using some Claris page design software). Some of my other efforts, like the thumbnails pages I added recently, I generate with iView MediaPro, using their templates that I've customized.

What you do for a web page or gallery depends a lot of what you want to present and how you want a viewer to work with it. I go for simplicity as much as I can, I find too many effects and such oft times get in the way more than they help. If the effects are essential to communicating your information, then the more sophisticated page generating software and web design packages make developing pages much easier.
