SlickPic is an all-in-one portfolio website and client delivery system that makes organizing, sharing and showcasing photos simple. Thanks to an array of new album features available exclusively within SlickPic, presenting your best pictures has never been simpler!
No matter the level of photography experience, having your portfolio hosted independently of social media platforms is always beneficial for showcasing photos the way you want. By having its own home for your photos, avoiding such restrictions as is the case on platforms like Instagram is much simpler and allows more freedom in sharing them and displaying them online.
Accessing photos through custom albums is essential if you are sharing with family and friends or providing services to clients. With SlickPic album templates you can now save settings that you use frequently so you can create client or family albums in just a few clicks for sharing or delivery. Let’s take a look at all of SlickPic’s recent improvements regarding albums!
SlickPic Album Templates: Reuse Sharing Settings Its When creating a new album in SlickPic, there is now an option for saving its settings as a preset so you can reuse options such as default view, password protection, privacy features and so forth without needing to select them again in each instance. This makes life much simpler!
Setting rules for client albums, public portfolio albums, competitions you run and so forth is extremely powerful.
Navigating SlickPic Galleries With Horizontal Menu And Isolate Album From Gallery
Navigating between albums in your SlickPic Gallery has just become easier, thanks to a new horizontal menu which makes it easier to see where you have been and isolate individual albums from galleries. This feature can especially useful for large albums with many sub-albums: wedding photo delivery services offer this capability so they can divide galleries into Bride Prep, Groom Prep etc.
Your Album Isolation setting provides an effective means of keeping an album separate from its surrounding SlickPic Gallery; effectively disabling navigation menu from showing higher levels.
Use this setting when sending client delivery galleries if you want to restrict them from seeing other sections of your gallery; lower level sub-albums still appear in the navigation menu, however. Keep in mind if using this setting that public albums will still appear at the top of your Gallery: it only isolates them at their album level level.
Auto-populate client galleries on your portfolio website SlickPic now includes an optional client delivery feature for Portfolio Websites, adding another public facing view that SlickPic provides: Your Gallery and/or Portfolio Website based on your plan. Depending on this aspect, either one could exist.
SlickPic now offers photographers an exciting feature to auto-populate client albums on their Portfolio Website, something much-requested by photographers looking for client delivery integrated directly into their own website. Now, add a block to display client albums on your Portfolio website:
Once you choose a top level collection, your Portfolio Website will automatically import client albums into client galleries delivered quickly with Lightroom plugin for SlickPic. This provides an effective means of quickly getting client galleries out to clients.
Consider Your SEO When Planning Client Delivery Galleries
When considering whether to incorporate client delivery galleries onto your Portfolio Website, keep SEO in mind when planning client delivery galleries. For best practices, clients should receive direct links to their SlickPic albums – this prevents search engines from seeing this as “bounces,” where visitors came and immediately left again after viewing only part of an album on your website before clicking back out again by clicking their own album link and leaving quickly without returning again later on.
Although your clients were given what they need quickly, SEO doesn’t see things this way; helping existing clients locate albums directly on your site could actually hinder new clients from finding you!
Careful consideration should also be made regarding your Portfolio Website as it should serve as a marketing tool to bring in new clients, rather than alienate existing ones. Your website is only as good as its worst image – including sentimental pictures in client albums could detract from its quality, deterring new client acquisition.
Since your SlickPic Gallery already links back to your Portfolio Website, it is best practice for SEO that you send clients your gallery directly – they can still access the portfolio via SlickPic Gallery if needed!
