ShootCal Websites
ShootCal Websites is a portfolio builder for photographers that connects a website to existing ShootCal client galleries. Gallery blocks can draw from selected galleries without uploading another copy of the photos; public and link-only galleries are eligible, but password-protected galleries are not. The editor offers six looks and settings for text, blocks, fonts, colors and logos, with slider headers available on any page. Free websites contain Home and Contact pages; Plus and Pro provide six pages. A booking page can let visitors choose a session type and view availability, while contact inquiries go to the account email. A professional Instagram account linked to a Facebook Page can show recent posts, optionally filtered by caption hashtag. Plus and Pro support custom website and gallery domains, with hosting and secure connections included. Changes stay in a private draft until published, and checkpoints support revision previews and restoration as a draft. Pages are described as mobile-friendly and SEO-optimized, with editable titles and descriptions. Free costs nothing; Plus is $12 a month and Pro is $25 a month, both billed monthly with no annual contract.
