Everything to do with using your own website to advertise your rental property. Design, usability, hosting, getting listed on the search engines, optimising your site, pay-per-click, etc, etc.
I am revising the website; (for more than a year now )
I am writing a lightbox* photo album. What does the team think should be the ideal amount of photos in each album?
You know not so many as to be useless and not give any information but then i do not want to bore views with too many photos in one album.
* If you don't know what a lightbox album is I will find a link to illustrate it. Let me know.
Always less is more. With promotional photo galleries: the better the quality of the photographs, the less you need to use (IMO). The intention should be seduction - tickling with a feather rather than giving the whole goose an outing (as a Frenchman memorably said about the 'art' of taxation without pain).
I prefer fewer excellent pictures, carefully sequenced/captioned that resonate off each other - but with links to another part of the site for more pictures for those inclined to further research. Get the viewers on the bus first, then they can decide how much more of the goose they wish to see.
Excellent ideas, thank you.
I should have added I am not going to use the photos presently on the website; the quality is poor.
The reason for adding a "a fair few" photos is one for SEO, as Google will also pick these up.Two with website reviews most comments on this forum is add more photos.
Don't forget to put the descriptions on your photos (meta tags), its the text not the images Google loves (I'm probably "teaching my grandmother to suck eggs").

I think if the photos are interesting, show different aspects of the house, in high resolution – you should show all of them.
But if you have 10 photos with the same kitchen table on it from different angles – the visitors might just get bored.
One thing I noticed that the navigation on the site can be improved: why do you need a new browser window when you open your image gallery? Why don’t you add a navigation menu on the left with links “House”, “Galicia”, etc and use the space on the right to show your lightbox with the thumbnail images underneath?
donafe my intention is not to use simpleviwer when I update.
I am going to add a link to the lightbox presentation under the left hand graphic (page tile).
