  • The entire story revolves around building a clean and easy to navigate website which by far Pixpa has implemented very efficiently.
  • SEO capabilities of Pixpa are the best than any of the similar services out there in the website builder space.

Cons

  • I am looking after third party integrations with awesome tools like Dropbox, Google apps etc., which I believe the Pixpa product team must be having plans about, in the near future.

Usability

Pixpa Review : A one stop solution for Photographers

Pros

  • 40 + customizable and responsive themes with the option of blogging, e-commerce and client proofing included in all
  • 20+ gallery layouts to showcase the images and easy drag and drop page builder.
  • Amazing customer support.

Cons

  • Looking for a mobile option for the control panel.

Return on Investment

  • Pixpa has just been amazing. It has proven to be a one-stop solution for me.

Super Easy-to-Use, Beautiful Themes, Excellent Gallery Layouts, Intuitive tools and UI

Pros

  • Superb Gallery Management & Layouts
  • Add anything with just a drag of your favorite content block. There are more than 300 pre-built content blocks in the PageBuilder which allows you to build any kind of website you want.

Cons

  • Pixpa has a great interface for managing the content on website. But still it has further scope for improvement.
  • Another thing which seems to be missing is a mobile version of the app. It is currently available only for desktop. But they promised a mobile version soon.

Return on Investment

  • I had set up a custom editions site (customeditions.letternote.com) for my corporate gifting e-commerce business, LetterNote. I created the site using Pixpa's DIY builder with a purpose of showcasing our custom products and gain impressions from our target market. And thanks to Pixpa for their wonderful SEO capabilities and beautiful layouts that we had almost increased our sales by nearly 30%.
  • The pricing for which they provide such a wonderful platform is very pocket friendly and I actually had more returns than I invested in the product.
