You can create Albums on the Client Gallery platform. An Album is a group of galleries that you can share with anyone publicly or privately.
For example, if you have shot a wedding for a client, you can create an album for that client and include multiple galleries in it to cover all the events that you shot.
Here Sam and Gaby’s Wedding (2) is an album (1) that contains galleries of Sam’s wedding.
In this article:
Albums are like folders of your website with a few differences:
- You can only add galleries to an album.
- Albums are accessible independently and are not a part of your Pixpa website. Each album is a separate site with its own content and a unique link.
- For example “Sam and Gaby’s wedding” album access link is – http://grace.pixpa.com/site/sam-and-gaby-s-wedding.
- Albums have additional features like privacy, favorites, download, and sharing settings. Also See: Getting started with Client Gallery.
Public or Private Albums:
- Public Album is a group of galleries that you can share with an audience for a specific purpose (event/project/showcase/curation).
- Private Album is password protected group of galleries you can share with clients for proofing and file delivery.
Also Check: Manage Privacy options.
Each Album is associated with an Album id which will be used in Client Gallery Master login page.
