A little tour of Photodeck!
We are delighted which I now present PhotoDeck after 9 years of use.
Photodeck may be a little less well known than Zenfolio, Photoshelter or others, but it offers solid arguments for any photographer who is serious about his or her professional approach.
After 2 years with Zenfolio, it was only after careful personal research into my real needs that I realised PhotoDeck was the platform I needed.
PhotoDeck is pretty comprehensive, and built for photographers and videographers alike.
As soon as you open a trial account, you enter the backend. Lhe interface is clear and uncluttered, and can be used on the desktop as well as on a tablet or smartphone!
The first impression is that the system reacts quickly - very quickly!
There are 4 main sections
- dashboard
- my images and videos
- my site
- my shop
The dashboard
In the " dashboard "Here you'll find your latest modified galleries, visit statistics, the site activity log: purchases, downloads, customer accounts, etc., and Photodeck news at a glance.
My images and videos
In the my images and videosYou can manage your images and videos in the form of galleries, sub-galleries, collections and smart collections. In the right-hand sidebar, you can edit metadata, assign price profiles, share on social networks, etc.
In each gallery and sub-gallery, you can adjust the style in which the images are displayed, i.e. the way in which the gallery is presented.
Customisation is simple and effective! Gallery layout, image size and shape, display mode, display location and metadata behaviour, price displays, buttons, etc.
Visibility and access to the galleries can be controlled, by person with an individual password or by general access etc...
A written introduction or slideshow at the top of each gallery can be configured and customised, as well as SEO for each gallery, comment management, gallery expiry and automation!
Automation are also Photodeck's strong points: when adding images to a gallery or collection, it is possible to automate actions such as:
- assign a title and description, and add or remove keywords.
- publish in one or more galleries or add to a collection.
- assign price profiles.
- re-apply settings to previously imported images. It is also possible to automate the import into a gallery based on a keyword search.
You guessed it: the system search function.
PhotoDeck is pretty powerful and worthy of a media library catalogue!
The section my siteThis is the complete site configuration area. Choice of CSS theme, CSS customisation, logo, specific page, site menu, social network configuration, etc.
The system installation is in this section: url, language management, google check, bing... redirection, overall SEO of the site.
The shop
The last section, known as shop "You can also configure price profiles, taxes, baskets, customer accounts, mailings, orders, quotes and invoices.
Photodeck is a fantastic online sales platform!
With the ability to manage up to 13 languages and even more currencies, you can use partner labs that are already registeredYou can also add your favourite print lab with automatic order processing after payment by credit card or paypal. Payment by credit card also gives you a choice of payment platforms, including Paypal.
There is also an automatic invoicing module !
Please note that PhotoDeck does not take any commission !!!
You read that right, no commission!
In this shop section, once again PhotoDeck's appeal lies in its ability to customise the system, whether it be :
- for price profiles.
- for the tax or VAT profiles (meeting the needs of the French complexity for the professional or private buyer, whether a member of the EU or not... and this simply in one and the same profile).
- for product profiles, it is of course possible to set up any product or support for your photos, including commercial items such as T-shirts, mugs, mouse pads, etc. or even the sale of digital files, or even better, to create mixed product packs (digital, licences and products) made to measure. Then assign the shipping cost profile from among those you've created beforehand as you see fit (depending on your promotions or sales, for example), with different tax profiles assigned specifically to this or that price profile or shipping cost.
We should also point out that there is a "discount coupon" module, for which you determine the title and code, with an activation or expiry date and the number of times it can be used.
PhotoDeck has already pre-registered all the parameters most commonly used by professional photographers, and works in partnership with several major laboratories.
PhotoDeck is pretty comprehensive, isn't it?
PhotoDeck Help includes a quick-start or "step-by-step" module to get you up and running quickly: site name, photo and video import, logo installation etc... and you're up and running in no time.
Let's summarise PhotoDeck's strengths:
- Real simplicity.
- Overall speed of the system and the site, which is very good for SEO.
- Multi-language and multi-currency.
- No commission on sales.
- It's so easy to customise the belly system and the site!
- Major, intelligent updates are a regular feature.
- We can also add the presence and rapid response of support!
