This is the site I'm working on http://www.ashleydarryldesigns.com.

I have decent knowledge of css and not so much of .php.

What I want is "home" to go to index.php, "shop online" to go to the main gallery where the albums are, "about" to the about page, and so on.

I created this pages using copies of index.php and then modified them to not include the galleries so I can add static content.

When you click on the nav, it just comes up with the 404 error page even though the page has been added.

What I don't understand is, do I need to add these pages in a call function somewhere for them to work?

The Effervescence+ and Stopdesign themes have a similar tatic. In their case they use the custom index page link option to indicate the PHP script for the gallery. (In your case this looks to be shop.php.) Efferevescence even separates out the "home" link from the gallery links on the gallery pages so it behaves as you want.

As for the other pages (presuming they are PHP scripts) the general approach is to create a custom script--say about.php--and link to it using /page/about (the page separator tells Zenphoto to load a named script from the theme.)

So, for instance, you have a link to the contact form using CONTACT. The correct link would be CONTACT.
