Squarespace can handle 3 of the 4 website jobs photographers usually need, using its own features and add-ons. Still to check before you commit: private client galleries.
Fast-loading galleries by shoot type. Portfolio pages group work into project pages, up to 60 projects per portfolio page.
Session bookings. Acuity Scheduling, which needs its own subscription, embeds in a page through the scheduling block.
Print and product sales. The store sells physical, download, service and gift card products through Squarespace checkout.
Private client galleries. Member Sites gate pages for signed-in members, but per-client files and progress need another tool.
Features outside Squarespace's blocks need code injection or a third-party service.
Only part of the site exports if you move later.
All Squarespace plans include managed hosting.
Custom code can be added through code injection on plans that include it.
Extra features come from built-in blocks and linked services such as Acuity Scheduling and OpenTable.
Requires scoping means we have not confirmed it for this platform yet. We check it before quoting.
