Photographer Website, Store & Client Galleries with Pixpa - 2022 Review

Written article on my blog: www.exaframe.co...
I talk about what I currently use for my website, online store, as well as client galleries for delivering images. I have been with Pixpa for a while and give an update as to why I went with them over other options, and what I was using previously.

I bought Hashems zine thru the site and had as smooth a process as you could want. After watching this video, I emailed Pixpa to verify if they had servers in my country and got an almost instant response. Nice Pixpa!!!

[@hashemmcadam]

Glad to hear! Let me know if you try them out and how you go with them

As a startup photographer, PIXPA works great for me. I've been using them for the past year as a way of delivering client galleries and I really love the professional look to the galleries. There is quite a bit of options available such as making galleries private, being able to sell digital downloads etc. Price point is very affordable for me as a young photographer without a massive client base - I can't justify spending the higher prices of sites like Squarespace. And the Pixpa support team has been great. Their online help centre has VERY DETAILED instructions for EVERY aspect of the website including pictures of what to do where. Very comprehensive help guide which often negates the need to reach out to a physical representative.

Great video and great timing. I've just started looking into a site for my illustration/comic book work. Squarespace seems to dominate youtube so its nice to have an alternative. BTW I really enjoyed your client gallery when I was downloading my wedding photos and sharing them with family. 😊

Not happy with Light Rocket my current host so I'll give this a shot. Thanks for the review.

Adobe portfolio how to use

[@amberrexford1004]

For your client galleries what sizes do you make available for them to download? I feel like having them be able to download all 4 sizes is too many options and too confusing

[@hashemmcadam]

I usually allow for the original res I uploaded them in (medium-high, depending on the job/gallery) and Low res. I generally find that having one or two sizes available to be enough.

[@odarrien]

I thought the same thing about the varied options. For me, I typically upload 2 albums - a Hi Res and a low res (scaled down to 2048 pixels on longest edge and typically with my watermark). Then I just set to allow download of ONE size - Original. So when they download from the hi res album they have the full quality and when they download from the low res gallery they have the smaller ones.

Question! I’m new to Pixpa, and I’m having a very hard time sending client galleries. I have it set in my gallery settings for the images to be available for download but nobody has been able to download them. It simply doesn’t provide the option once they receive the gallery in their email. How do I fix this? 😅

[@hashemmcadam]

Hey! Sounds like maybe just some settings, if I was guessing... But it would be best if you send this query to them instead. Using the live chat they can look at your settings for you.

Do you also use WHCC for printing or do you use a local printer? I’m curious about the quality of their prints.

[@hashemmcadam]

I haven't used it. I looked into it briefly, but it didn't seem to be a thing with printers in Australia.

[@ToastedGhost]

Thanks for the info I am a digital artist and ai creator this looks great for my needs. Did you post prints or use their indoor service? Did you use download service? thank you cheers

[@hashemmcadam]

Hey sorry for the late reply, I posted all print and zine sales myself.

[@erik5024]

I've tried to figure this out, but am having a hard time. Perhaps you can help. I get that pixpa can function as an online portfolio (which I desperately need), and is a great way to deliver images to clients via the client gallery, but that's a very minor aspect of my plan. I need public galleries for speculative sales. I shoot local sports, and need to have an image hosting site where people can see my work and buy digital images (or even prints, mugs, shirts, etc). I *think* this is part of the "professional" package, but I also saw something about using fotomoto as a plugin, which would require an account/subscription to fotomoto. Any ideas?

[@GurpreetSingh-xp1hq]

You can add ecommerce enabled public galleries to your website to sell digital images. You can also add other products (like mugs, shirts etc) to the price listsand you can self-fulfill those orders. For fulfillment of print orders, Pixpa offers an integration with WHCC.

[@comfortboakye6144]

is there a booking setting for pixpa?

[@hashemmcadam]

It can be added via a widget for the external service "Simplybook". I'm looking into it to potentially use for booking workshops.
