Upload a Photoshop Preview Album

I'm a commercial photographer who uses Photoshop or Lightroom to create preview web pages for clients.  I use FileZilla to upload those pages into my webspace with my current website hosting company, they can make selections and then I take down the site when the job is completed.

Can I do the same with the new domain I'm hosting with Weebly or does everything have to go through their editor?  Obviously I could do something simlar with their gallery function, but doing everything in Photoshop or Lightroom would seem to be faster.

Thanks!

Everything would need to be built through our editor, since it wouldn't be possible to upload files via FTP like you can at a traditional web host.

Kind of what I was guessing given that I hadn't seen any FTP type instructions anywhere.  I have right click disabled, but I can do that on a page by page basis so that clients could pull images from unlinked galleries.  If I create a gallery Weebly creates the thumbnails, does it do additional compression of the original images I upload?

It does do some compression; you might want to try a few tests to see if the level of compression is enough to be an issue for you.

I'll try a test gallery.  I suppose I can use private albums on Flickr as an alternative.
