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.
Pixpa was my first choice when browsing for portfolio sites when I started my business in 2014. In only two years, business took off. I credit Pixpa's SEO capabilities with much of my success.
I went from no-site to pro-site in no time thanks to all the personal help from the Pixpa experts, often in real-time!
Pixpa team is amazing—fast, friendly, and very knowledgeable! Their biggest strength is customer service; they usually respond within 5 minutes and are extremely helpful. Highly recommended!
Pixpa is the best website for starters who wish to create a nice website and do not have any coding knowledge. Before choosing Pixpa, I tried over 16 website platforms and none were suitable for me.
I love Pixpa! I actually have both my websites with them, proving that not only are they excellent for photographers, but also for eCommerce. They offer top-notch customer service and terrific value. As if that weren't enough, my sites have started ranking better since moving to Pixpa.
Templates
Start from a website template built for your kind of work, then make it yours with the visual style editor: layouts, type, spacing, color and custom CSS. Every template is responsive and ready to publish.
The case for one platform
Most photographers run a website builder, a separate client gallery tool and an online store that takes commission. Pixpa gives you all three in one platform at one price. No plugins. No commissions. No second logins.

:One platform. One price.
This is the best web service I've ever used! Its better than Wix, Squarespace, you name it! The customer service is amazing and unbelievably responsive! Not to mention their designs are simple, clean and easy to use!
Having used Squarespace, Wix, Adobe Portfolio and Wordpress - Pixpa’s portfolio website builder is blowing me away! It hits the perfect balance between ease of use & advanced functions.
Pixpa's live support chat is just that- it's a real person with real answers. I'm not stuck in AI hell! I get a quick response, and the answers I need so I can get my work done.
Out of all the website builders, I found Pixpa to be the most user friendly. If I ever had a question, help was quick and efficient. Overall I'm very happy with the designs, customer service and ease of use that Pixpa provides.
Pixpa is the only provider I found with all the features needed blended in one package. Website, blog, client galleries - If you want everything in one platform, then Pixpa is the only way to go! And the support team is legendary!
Having struggled for a long time with Smugmug and Squarespace, Pixpa has been a joy to work with. Really happy with Pixpa. I can strongly recommend this platform.
Top-notch! Pixpa is simple, clean, elegant, and it just works. The design tools and UI is intuitive, consistent, and...I don't use this term lightly, usable. Kudos to Pixpa!
Honestly, Pixpa is the best photography specific site builder. Miles better than the big players like Wix, Squarespace, and Bigcartel.

Pixpa is a portfolio website builder for photographers, artists and designers. It combines a portfolio website, client galleries with proofing and delivery, a zero-commission online store, and a blog in one platform, with no coding required. Pixpa has been rated 4.7 out of 5 by 600+ reviewers on Capterra and top-rated by photographers and designers for 12+ years.
Pixpa is built for photographers, artists and designers who need a professional website without technical work. That includes wedding, portrait, commercial and travel photographers, illustrators, graphic and UI/UX designers, architects, fashion designers, models, musicians and writers. It suits photographers especially, because client galleries for proofing, sharing and selling images are built into the same platform as the website.
Pixpa has four plans billed annually: Basic at $5.40/month, Creator at $9/month, Professional at $12/month, and Advanced at $15/month. A standalone Client Gallery plan starts at $5/month. Every plan includes a 15-day free trial with no credit card, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a free domain for the first year on annual billing. Students and educators get up to 55% off. See pricing for full details.
No. Pixpa charges zero commission on every sale from your online store or client galleries, on every plan. You keep the full sale price minus your payment processor's standard fee, and Stripe or PayPal pays you directly. This is a key difference from marketplace platforms and some gallery tools that take a percentage of each sale.
Yes. Photographers move to Pixpa from Squarespace, Pixieset, Zenfolio, SmugMug and Wix regularly. You rebuild your portfolio from 200+ templates, upload your images, connect your existing domain, and consolidate your website, client galleries and store into one platform and one subscription. Pixpa's support team helps with the move over live chat, 24/7.
Squarespace, Wix and WordPress are general-purpose website builders; Pixpa is built specifically for photographers, artists and designers. Pixpa includes client galleries with proofing, a zero-commission store, and shareable Gallery Links as built-in features, not plugins or paid add-ons. Squarespace and Wix need third-party tools for client proofing and image selling, and WordPress needs separate hosting, maintenance and plugins to match. Pixpa also answers support over live chat with real people, 24/7, which reviewers on Capterra and G2 cite as a reason they switched.
SmugMug and Zenfolio focus on image hosting and print sales but offer limited website design. Pixieset handles client galleries and delivery well but has no full website builder, blog or online store. Showit is strong on design but needs a separate WordPress install for blogging and has no built-in galleries or store. Pixpa combines the portfolio website, client galleries with proofing, store, blog and marketing tools in one platform, usually at a lower combined cost than running two or three of these tools together.
Yes. Pixpa lets you sell prints and digital downloads directly from your client galleries and online store, with automated print fulfillment through its WHCC lab integration. There is zero commission on every sale, and you set your own pricing and markup. You can sell physical products, services and digital files from the same store.
No. Pixpa is a drag-and-drop builder: you choose a template, customize the layout, colors and type, add your work, connect a domain, and publish, all without code. Advanced users can go further with custom CSS and HTML overrides. Most people have a site live within a day.
Yes. Pixpa offers a 15-day free trial with no credit card required, so you can build and preview your full site before paying. Every new plan also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can request a full refund within 30 days if it is not the right fit.
