What is Photler?

Photler is a simple yet powerful web builder for travel photographers. You don't want to pay pots of money or go back to college to learn how to code just to create your photography website. We get it. Clicking stunning photographs and exploring the world is much more interesting and requires free time. But if your career, self-development, earning cash while taking photos and reaching the Pantheon of photographers is important to you, you'll need one hell of a web builder to do that.

Pros

  • Photler is amazing, and has the potential to be even more amazing. It is unlike any other photo platform I have encountered, and look forward to even more features and functionality as they grow.

  • I don't think I have ever met such a fantastic group of human beings running a business as good as these guys. The journey has been amazing since day one and is on for a lifetime.

  • And because they are a start up they still have the luxury to call you by your name (or even nickname) and follow your adventure as excited as you personally are.

Cons

  • Lack of user adaptability and control. Text fonts are really random and not changeable which spoils the overall look.

  • There's still a few bugs that are annoying. Also prices for Polish market are a little too high.

  • Can be buggy, ease of use can be frustrating. The watermark being glued to the photo once uploaded is a major con, and has me procrastinating rebuilding from the ground up.

"5 stars to an amazing team!"

Overall: I don't think I have ever met such a fantastic group of human beings running a business as good as these guys. The journey has been amazing since day one and is on for a lifetime! Photler has the humour, kindness, professionalism and perfectionism than any big company can beat. And because they are a start up they still have the luxury to call you by your name (or even nickname) and follow your adventure as excited as you personally are. You are not a ticket amongst millions on their customer support dashboard you are you, unique. And they are so proud of all of their users that you just want to hug them all. On top of the amazing customer experience but they have the expertise of the digital world and are very up to date with the latest trends when it comes to digital so you will be the first in the know when a new functionality is up and running. Basically to cut it short, they grow as fast as you grow and that's where the magic begins. Thank you / Dzi'kuj' Ci

Pros: The design theme

Cons: not as customisable as I wish it could be

Truth to be said, there is no such thing in the world that can give a company better recommendation than a friend who at the beginning of this journey was a customer. And that's the way we like to keep relationships at Photler - as personal and human as they can be. No formal language, no 'wait till we find some time', no stodgy messages. We stand by you, encourage to dream and develop and we teach you how to build your own personal brand. Thank you, Marion, for those words, they really mean a world for us.

"Best web builder for creative individuals"

Overall: I tested near 20 web builder before I finally decided to settle down with one of them. Photler won because of the OUTSTANDING support team and the most beautiful design I've ever seen. I love my personal interactive world map where I can pin all destinations I've been to. I love how visitors engage with my journey and my photos, moving from one place to another. And I'm irrevocably in love with blog creator - this is powerful tool, my blog posts look like an online magazine, I can do whatever I want with the size of my photos, divide text into columns, add videos... simply make it look fabulous :-) I received so much help, encouragement and valuable feedback from the team, that I feel like the part of the family. I was afraid to start creating my own website, but I managed to do it in two evenings. They have on Photler this import tool that allows you to import your photos from Instagram, Dropbox, Flickr and any other website... so basically, I was having fun while creating :-) Now I regulary add new stuff and I'm so proud of my own website... <3 The pricing is very fair, and I have to admit, I cannot imagine my online presence without Photler. I would pay the double price for such beautiful portfolio.

Pros: + design + interactive world map + inspirations from blog + the best support team ever + easiness + low price

Cons: - no multiple administrators - no podcast integration

Thank you so much Ann! Making the experience of creating own website easy and enjoyable was crucial for us. The own website is for photographer one of the most important marketing/business tool, so you cannot ignore the benefits of having your own. But, in the end of the day - you have to love what you do, not only the creative part of being a photographer, but also the technical part - postprocessing and managing websites. Our goal is to make this part absolutely painless. Thank you for your words - they show us, we're on a right track! :-)

"A great idea and a great platform. Still really clunky. Needs more investment in user adaptability"

Overall: A much better showcase for my travel photography

Pros: Wonderful platform for showcasing travel photography. Striking. Sliders are very effective. Map interface is a great way to present the galleries. Lots of ways to interface information with imagery.

Cons: Still a number of glitches and user issues. Lack of user adaptability and control. Text fonts are really random and not changeable which spoils the overall look. Mobile device compatibility and presentation issues. Text often trails off the screen and when scrolling in galleries the selected thumbnail goes dark which detracts from the image. Photlr need to employ a proper English editor for their website and help pages.

User feedback helps us handle the issues and improve. That's why it's good to explore Photler to check if we added new features you need and might not be aware already exist - e.g. changing fonts - it's available in 'design' in your user panel and it's totally up to you which one will you use in your portfolio :)

"A great way to show off your adventures!"

Overall: An awesome website builder that helps you create a unique online space to share your travels and to also sell. I really love the simple, yet unique, templates that you can customise to your liking. I especially love the World Map feature! The team at Photler are also an amazing bunch. Whatever problem there is, big or small, they always are there to help in the best way they can. I highly recommend the team at Photler to anybody looking to share their world adventures to the online world!

Pros: The geo-location feature on the photos.

Cons: Still needs a little bit of ironing out, but that's what you would expect from a Beta!

Thank you Michelle! :-) We'll promise to keep the high level of service and support. New features coming soon. And we're glad that you like the interactive world map - it's one of the best way to guide visitors through the journey of your life!

"The best and only website platform for Travel Photographers"

Pros: I am obsessed with Photler. Never have I found such a clean & minimal website platform with as much design capability, specifically related to travel. The coordinates & maps are such an amazing touch and gives my travel photography SO much credibility, that otherwise took a lot of manual time, sweat, and tears for me to accomplish on an ordinary website.

Cons: The price is a little hard to stomach since my travel photography isn't generating revenue (yet!), but with such a gorgeous platform to showcase my work I am confident that it will in the close future!
