Did you know that PhotoShelter has been around since 2005 and has 800,00+ members?

I didn’t but having said that, I’m not surprised.

You see, I’ve been reviewing photography specific website builders for weeks now and during that time, PhotoShelter’s name has cropped time and time again.

In fact, I’m excited about this review as everything so far has either come with a fairly steep learning curve or has been missing vital features.

Is PhotoShelter about to change that?

I sincerely hope so but there’s only one way to find out!

Wow, there are a few more photography specific website builders than I originally anticipated.

I can see exactly how choosing the right platform could be a very daunting task.

With that in mind,  I’m here to help guide you and today we’ll be putting PhotoDeck under the microscope.

Together, we’ll uncover the pros, cons, and find out what features PhotoDeck has and what it’s missing.

By the end of this review, you’ll have a good idea of whether it’s right for your photography hobby or business.

And if it’s not…I’ll do my level best to help you find something that is!

Sound fair? Great, let’s get started.

I’d like to start by welcoming all of your creative types to this Pixpa review.

I stumbled across them for the first time recently when researching one of their competitors.

I made a note of the name and told myself I’d come back to review them when I had a little time and I can tell you, I’m very glad I did!

I can say with confidence, that if you’re a photographer, designer, artist, or fashionista, then you’re in for quite a treat.

I’ve spent the last few days putting Pixpa through its paces and while it’s not perfect (I’m yet to find a platform that is), it definitely has a lot to offer.

I’m so glad you could join me today…

You see, I’ve been reviewing general website builders for quite some time now but SmugMug is my first specialist photography platform and I’m kinda excited!

I’ve heard many good things about them along the way and after hearing the recent news of them acquiring photo storage site Flickr, I couldn’t put it off any longer.

With that said, I’m itching to get started so let’s jump straight in.
