Why Your Photography Website Deserves More Than Pixieset
Let’s be real — Pixieset is awesome for delivering galleries. But when it comes to your actual website? Using Pixieset alone is like showing up to a wedding in sweatpants. Comfortable? Sure. Memorable? Not so much.
Here’s why photographers who want to book more clients (and stand out) need a custom website.
1. You Don’t Want to Look Like Everyone Else
Pixieset sites all start to look the same. Cute? Yes. Unique? Nope.
A custom site lets you show off your brand personality so clients immediately know who you are and what makes you different.
2. Google Can’t Find You (And Neither Can Clients)
Pixieset wasn’t built for SEO. Translation: it’s harder to get found on Google.
A custom site? You can blog, optimize keywords, and pop up when someone searches “[Your City] wedding photographer.” Hello, free marketing.
3. You’re in Control
Want to add a lead magnet? Update your packages? Create a killer contact page?
With Pixieset, you’re limited. With a custom site, you can build exactly what you need as your business grows. No more playing by someone else’s rules.
4. Trust Factor = Bookings
Your website is your online storefront. A polished, professional site instantly builds credibility.
Clients want to see your work and your personality. Pixieset galleries just can’t tell your full story.
5. Designed to Convert (Not Just Look Pretty)
A custom site isn’t just eye candy — it’s a booking machine. Strategic layouts, CTAs that actually work, and smooth navigation all guide your visitors to that magic “inquire now” button.
The Takeaway
Pixieset is awesome for delivering galleries — but your main website? That needs to do the heavy lifting.
Custom = more control, better SEO, stronger brand, and more bookings.
