Don't know HTML or CSS? Work with a PhotoShelter Certified Consultant!

Stay with the yourname.photoshelter.com that comes with your account, or maintain a seamless brand experience for your visitors by further customizing your website's URL.

To use your own domain, either mask your PhotoShelter address (using a CNAME) or simply redirect your preferred URL to your PhotoShelter site.

Choose your best content to display on your homepage with our customizable slideshow, or opt for a combination of large and small featured galleries.

Group your images together in galleries to optimize the viewing experience.

Easily configure who can see and download your work, and choose which galleries to list on your site. Sort them by date, name, or in a custom order to bring your most important content to the forefront.

When a group of galleries are thematically related, cluster them together in cleanly organized "gallery collections" for more organized browsing. Unlike any other service, PhotoShelter provides you with unlimited levels of gallery nesting.

You may easily add up to two additional custom pages to your PhotoShelter website and use a simple publishing tool to add your content – no HTML knowledge required. This is where photographers often post info about their rates, tearsheets, videos, a booking calendar or anything else that helps promote their businesses.

PhotoShelter's automatic integration with Typekit, a pioneer of web-based typography, allows you to choose from a selection of real fonts for your website just by switching themes.

Upload your full-sized image once, and let our advanced image processing technology make all size adjustments on the fly, as needed – from screen display through delivery to your clients.

Secure your images with our automatic image watermarking. Choose a text watermark that displays your copyright, or upload your own image watermark for a customized display on all of the images in your portfolio.

You're in control – change the position or turn your watermark on/off as needed.

Each site gives you the ability to customize the look and exhibit your professional photography brand to visitors – not PhotoShelter's.

Newly upgraded in 2011 to the latest usability and e-commerce standards, our shopping cart is holistically designed to drive checkout conversions.

The shopping experience takes place on your branded website and, based on your payment processor choice, concludes there without being redirected to complete the transaction.

Sell prints and other image products for profit without lifting a finger. Set your own prices, but allow our partner pro photography print labs to fulfill and ship your prints right to your clients' doorsteps. Our five fully integrated print partners are the US-based WHCC, AdoramaPix, ezprints, and BWC Photo Imaging, and Spectrum Photographic in the UK.

For maximum control over the printing process, opt to self-fulfill your print orders. Sell unique sizes or finishes, farm production out to a lab of your choice, or customize the packing and shipping process.

When a client purchases a self-fulfilled product, we process the transaction, get you paid, and notify you of the sale. You handle the rest!

Make image downloads available for sale to your non-commercial clients, too.

Set prices based on size to monetize your event photography, sell downloads in addition (or as an alternative to) prints & products, and expand your sales channels.

Create unique packages (custom combinations of multiple prints, products and downloads, sold at a single price) to drive more sales.

Even allow buyers to mix and match multiple images in a single package – great for portrait photographers.

Get a shoot up quickly or save storage space by uploading low-res files and replacing them with full-resolution files – even after a print has been purchased.

You may price your images and conduct transactions in any one of 23 global currencies. We support the following currencies:

• Australian Dollar
• Brazilian Real
• British Pound Sterling
• Canadian Dollar
• Czech Koruna
• Danish Krone
• Euro
• Hong Kong Dollar
• Hungarian Forint
• Israeli New Shekel
• Japanese Yen
• Malaysian Ringgit
• Mexican Peso
• New Zealand Dollar
• Norwegian Krone
• Philippine Peso
• Polish Zloty
• Singapore Dollar
• Swedish Krona
• Swiss Franc
• New Taiwan Dollar
• Turkish Lira
• US Dollar

Expedite sales to trusted clients by permitting certain buyers to check out via the PhotoShelter cart but remit payment later.

The PhotoShelter order serves as the transaction record, and you may collect payment directly as you see fit.

All sales invoices are subject to a transaction-level handling fee, which is charged with the next month's billing cycle.

PhotoShelter works hard to get you and your images noticed by Google and other search engines – we speak their language.

You add the image descriptions, gallery titles, and other key text, and we do the rest behind the scenes to ensure your descriptive copy is placed where Google can see it.

PhotoShelter automatically submits your sitemap to Google, using Google's suggested format, so you don't have to do so on your own. This helps speed the discovery of your new web content.

Help extend your marketing reach by embedding gallery slideshows (or single images) into blogs, external websites, and social networks. You can post a slideshow of your portfolio (or images for sale) virtually anywhere.)

Visitors to these sites may then re-embed your work elsewhere – and any click through to your image will always link back to its native home on your website, drawing more traffic and sales opportunities.

Import your contacts from other email services and share your galleries with prospects and clients (individuals and groups) right from your account.

Monitor the activity of how each client interacts with your photography, and grant special permissions to trusted clients.

Use our built-in tracking to monitor shopping cart activity of your images, signups to your website, image views, client downloads, and transfer history. Note who has downloaded your work and which images are the most popular.

Get seen in search engines and by prospective clients though self-listing in our public Photographer Directory.

List out your specialties, your location, and your willingness to travel for assignment work to reach a new client base.

Submit your images for consideration to be a monthly featured photographer on our Buyer Page, seen by image buyers coming to photoshelter.com in search of new work.

We've harnessed the power of syndication to allow your clients and fans to subscribe to your new public content, galleries, and search results through RSS feeds.

The collaborative tool allows you and your clients to collect selects in one place and share for review, editing, or downloading purposes where permitted.

Once in a lightbox, images may be rated, removed, re-sequenced, downloaded – even purchased directly – depending on you or your clients' needs.

Our dynamically generated download interface allows clients to choose the file size the most appropriate size for their needs – when permitted.

You set the maximum download size, and we calculate a range of smaller sizes to keep things fast and easy for your clients.

Save time for you and your clients. Deliver a one-off full-resolution file or a batch of images through a simple, time-sensitive link that gives the client high res download access – no login required, no fuss.

Send a gallery or gallery collection directly to a client or friend using the gallery share function.

Automatically create an account for your client, enable hi-res downloads, set size limits, set expiration dates for viewing and downloading – you set the permissions to a granular degree when sharing your content.

Tie permissions to a password, or a specific email address. Create multiple passwords for any gallery on your site, which contain different levels of permission. (i.e. Give certain clients access to selects only, while others get access to the whole shoot.)

With a customized website design, you can match the design of your email invite to your PhotoShelter website to keep your brand consistent.

Search your full image archive – whether private or public – by a variety of factors, including filename, pricing tier, and keyword.
