You can now invoice with pixieset you can also sell prints Thru them. I haven’t tried square space but heard a lot of good stuff about them just heard they are expensive.
Hi Katey, nice video... Thanks for sharing your thoughts... I use pixieset since 2016, I don't think I would change to other platform because I like to have everything in one platform. And also Pixieset has improved themselves since I started using them years ago, I mean, is not the same... I see your video is 2020, now is 2022, and even this year they have done some upgrades... But I agree with you that Pixieset is very limited in terms of design and templates. Well, thanks... Keep posting a lot of videos :D
I definitely agree with you, Pixieset now has all in one from invoicing to photo delivery. Squarespace doesn't seem to have a photo delivery service that I could find unless I used a separate platform like shoot proof. Great video though! I do understand that it has been 2 years since the video but square space doesn't seem to have a lot of updates since then compare to pixieset in my opinion
I think if you’re making bank the best option is to have squarespace and then link pixieset or pictime to your website. However, when you’re paying $30 a month for squarespace commerce and then $25-35 a month for a client galley application. What these companies need to do is come out with an all in one for a decent price $30-$35 a month. You can always set up multiple galleries on squarespace for clients to view and have them password protected but the headache becomes photo selection and downloading etc. Ugh such a headache lol
Hi thank you for your post I am looking at setting up my online presence You mentioned shootproof is that all in one or do you still need a website as well
hi! I love this video im curious on what platform you use to send your clients their galleries digitally? I want to transition from Pixieset to square space
You can create a password protected gallery on a page on your squarespace. The page doesn't have to show up in your navigation menus unless you want it to, you send the link (url) of the proof gallery to your client. I have css custom code on mine so that the file numbers show below each image.
thanks for the info, I have been trying WordPress but feel its taking to much of my time up. One thing I do like to have is a client link in my header as it keeps everything on the one page. How do you feel about sending your clients to shootproof?
Thank you for watching! I love ShootProof so far. Since I deliver engagement & wedding galleries, I only send a client link through email. To me, that feels more personal!
@@KateyVaughan I've since discovered that Wix do now have a client gallery option now. So I'm giving it a go. Thanks again . Will be watching your new videos
I enjoyed your video it was really helpful, I was torn between the 2 but I’ll try out square space. If I may ask what your camera model of choice is that you’re using for wedding shoots right now?
Heyyy Katey, I really enjoy ALL of your videos!! If you don't mind me asking, what kind of laptop do you use? I'm currently looking for one that's compatible with editing/photography software.
Hi! Thank you so much for watching! I currently use a surface laptop (I got it refurbished from Amazon lol). But I've heard amazing things about apple laptops or desktops, so I'm planning on upgrading to an IMac one of these days. For now though, my surface laptop works really well!
@@KateyVaughan thank you so much for replying back! And I will definitely look into the surface laptop (for now.) but one of these days lol, I’ll own an Apple laptop or desktop too real soon! 😉
Thanks so much! I'm just starting out and this was very helpful! I do have one question. What if you do a mini session and take say 50 photos and your fee only includes 5, with option to purchase more. You want to show all of the photos so they can choose which 5 they would like. How to you disable them downloading the photos so you can then enable only the ones they choose later? Is this possible with PixieSet and if not, do you have any other suggestions?
At least through shoot proof you can watermark the ones they haven’t purchased, and put the ones they did in a separate album and only allow downloads for that album. You can also limit how many downloads you allow for each user. I’d imagine pixieset has a similar setup
I would just make a package price that includes minimum 5 photos. some clients may get more and that’s ok you can’t help if some people just modeled better, but setting a minimum of say 5 or 10 or 15 to a package guarantees them to get what they paid for- iv never had issues. i think letting a client pick and choose photos takes WAY TO LONG and that’s more of a studio environment
So...the bottom line here is that Squarespace does not offer a page where they can mimic Pixieset and host my website. If I read this right, I cannot upload a wedding(in categories and connected a specific client) like I did in Pixieset. I also want to get paid for 'non client' downloading and prints. Looks like I am stuck with two, so called - 'Websites'. Grrr. I subscribed...you put in the effort to help us all out.

I'm definitely due for a Pixieset update video! They've done a lot lately.

With using Shootproof + Squarespace do they seamlessly integrate with each other? Love the video and great content!
Square space is very difficult to use for me

How do I add an admin to my Pixieset website? Or is that something Pixieset doesn’t offer?
Hi thank you for your post
I am looking at setting up my online presence
You mentioned shootproof is that all in one or do you still need a website as well
Thank u for making this video
Wonderfully done! I can sense how you would be successful in your client interactions because you do have an engaging style. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Ahhh just subscribed!!! Thank you so much this really helped 🥰🥰
Yay! Thank you!

After years, I had to quit WordPress. It is okay if your goal in life is to be a "WordPress programmer." Not good if you have another profession!
great tips, thank you for sharing
Beautifully Done. love how cool and relaxed you are when talking ! subscribed :)
I enjoyed your video it was really helpful, I was torn between the 2 but I’ll try out square space. If I may ask what your camera model of choice is that you’re using for wedding shoots right now?
Thanks for watching! I currently shoot on a Nikon D7500 for my weddings (I upgraded from the 3200 or 3300). Definitely looking to upgrade again!
music make this hard to watch

Thank you for watching!
Time to transition from Pixieset to Squarespace.
Which template did you use? I love the idea of the photos showing as you scroll
Hi Larissa, I used the template Sonny!
Thanks so much! I'm just starting out and this was very helpful! I do have one question.

Your video looks really clean can I ask what camera you are using for your videos? Xx
Thank you! I use my Nikon DSLR

Welcome back?!? My first time here...
