ShootCal Websites review
A focused portfolio and gallery site builder with a free plan and paid custom domains.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ShootCal Websites is a hosted website builder for photographers who want portfolio pages connected to client galleries. Its page system includes hero, gallery, about, testimonials, availability, contact, layout, and typography blocks, with customizable page slots. Gallery showcase blocks can connect a site to public client galleries, while visitors can access gallery features such as favorites, downloads, and print ordering. The builder is currently in beta and is included with every ShootCal Galleries plan, including Free.
The pricing structure gives photographers a way to start without a monthly charge. The Free plan includes 10 GB of photo storage, unlisted galleries, delivery and favorites, proofing, and Home and Contact website pages. Plus costs $12 per month with monthly billing and adds 150 GB of storage, password-protected galleries, 30 active video minutes, six website pages, and custom domains. Pro costs $25 per month and adds 1,000 GB of storage and 180 active video minutes, along with everything in Plus. There is no annual contract, and the website builder remains free on every plan while the beta runs.
ShootCal Websites is strongest when the website and client-delivery workflow need to stay connected. Availability calendars, inquiry contact forms, search indexing controls, page titles and descriptions, autosave, publishing controls, private drafts, unpublishing, and revision history cover the core publishing workflow. Custom domains are available on Plus and Pro, while integrations are listed for ShootCal Galleries, Google Calendar, and Instagram. Choose it for a gallery-led photography business that wants portfolio, proofing, delivery, and print sales in one hosted setup. Photographers seeking a broader integration ecosystem or a non-beta website builder should consider alternatives.
