I've used a variety of website platforms over the years but Pixpa is by far the best. From their ease of use, well-designed eCommerce setup, well-designed themes, and unprecedented customer service. They've won my business on all fronts. Now I'm moving all of my websites to Pixpa.

What is Pixpa?

Pixpa is an all-in-one website builder purpose-built for photographers, artists, and creative professionals. It combines portfolio websites, client galleries with proofing and delivery, an online store with zero commissions, and a blog - all in one platform, with no coding required. Pixpa has been rated 4.7 out of 5 by over 585 creatives on Capterra and has been top-rated by creatives for more than 12 years.

Who is Pixpa for?

Pixpa is designed for creative professionals who need a professional web presence without technical complexity. This includes wedding, portrait, commercial and travel photographers, videographers, graphic designers, illustrators, artists, architects, interior designers, fashion designers and stylists, models and actors, musicians, writers, UI/UX designers, creative agencies, and freelancers. Pixpa is especially well suited to photographers who need both a portfolio website and client galleries for proofing, sharing, and selling their work.

How much does Pixpa cost?

Pixpa offers four all-inclusive plans billed annually: Basic ($5.40/month), Creator ($9/month), Professional ($12/month), and Advanced ($15/month). A standalone Client Gallery plan is also available starting at $5/month. All new subscriptions include a 15-day free trial with no credit card required and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Students and educators can get up to 55% off with the Pixpa Edu discount. Check out Pixpa's pricing for more details.

How does Pixpa compare to Squarespace, Wix, and WordPress?

Squarespace, Wix, and WordPress are general-purpose website builders that serve all industries. Pixpa is purpose-built for creative professionals - photographers, artists, and designers. Pixpa includes client galleries with proofing and delivery, an online store with zero commissions, and mobile Gallery Links as built-in features, not third-party add-ons. Squarespace and Wix require plugins or external services for client proofing and image selling. WordPress requires hosting, maintenance, and multiple plugins to match Pixpa's built-in functionality. Pixpa also provides 24/7 live chat support with real humans - not chatbots - which is consistently cited as a key differentiator in user reviews on Capterra and G2.

How does Pixpa compare to SmugMug, Zenfolio, Pixieset, and Showit?

SmugMug and Zenfolio focus primarily on image hosting and print selling but offer limited website customization. Pixieset specializes in client galleries and digital delivery but does not include a full website builder, blog, or online store. Showit offers strong design flexibility but requires a separate WordPress installation for blogging and has no built-in client galleries or ecommerce. Pixpa combines all of these capabilities - portfolio website, client galleries with proofing, online store, blog, and marketing tools - in a single platform at a lower combined cost. Photographers who currently use Squarespace for their website plus Pixieset or SmugMug for client delivery can consolidate everything into Pixpa.

What can I do with Pixpa?

Pixpa lets you create a professional website complete with an online store, blog, and client galleries without any coding knowledge. Whether you want to showcase your portfolio, create a business website, sell products or digital downloads, publish a blog, or manage client proofing and image delivery - you can do this and much more with Pixpa. Visit the full features list page.

Is it easy to create a website on Pixpa?

Pixpa simplifies the process of creating a professional website with its drag-and-drop website builder that you can use without any coding knowledge. Start by choosing a template, customize it, add your content, connect a custom domain, and optimize it for search engines - all through a simple control panel.

Do I need to know coding to build my website?

You do not need to know how to code at all to build your professional website on Pixpa. Advanced users can customize their website further with custom CSS overrides and HTML editing.

What is your 30-day money back guarantee?

We offer a 30-day money back guarantee on all new subscriptions. If for any reason you feel that Pixpa is not a good fit for you, you can request a full refund within 30 days of starting your subscription.

Can I connect a custom domain name with my Pixpa website?

Yes, you can connect an existing custom domain to your Pixpa website. We also offer a free domain name for the first year with all annual plan subscriptions.

Are Pixpa websites mobile-friendly?

Yes, all Pixpa websites are responsive and mobile-friendly, making pages and galleries look great on all devices - desktops, tablets, and phones.

Where is my website hosted?

Your Pixpa website is hosted on our fully-managed cloud hosting, powered by Amazon AWS. Our secure and fast cloud infrastructure ensures your website is always available and delivered at blazing-fast speed worldwide.
