What photographers say
My online print and licensing sales jumped by 300% in the first year after switching to PhotoDeck and they keep growing every year. Over the years I have tried many different platforms for online print sales and PhotoDeck proved to be the best of them in every regard.
Even the e-commerce part is simple, all you need is a PayPal account.
My previous website resulted in several hundred calls a year from confused clients asking how the ordering process worked. When I went live on PhotoDeck the phones fell silent – in a good way!
I love the easy-to-manage website design, the eCommerce, the seamless integration with 3rd party suppliers for prints. It all makes life so easy, and allows me to focus on my film and photography work.
I was able to integrate print sales with my own lab, and this helps my business a lot! Plus the ability to sell digital licenses in an easy way and without any commission is also a winner!
PhotoDeck has great SEO and has been great for licensing images, much better than agencies.
We are extremely pleased to have adopted PhotoDeck as the platform for our ecommerce photography business. PhotoDeck offers features that much larger competitors simply do not. The ease of configuring to meet our brand and design needs has been impressive. Discovering PhotoDeck was was the right thing at the right time for our business.
