Is Photium suitable for my business?

Photium helps small businesses, independent professionals and photographers create websites to show their work, explain their services and collect enquiries. You can also sell products, with specialist gallery tools available for photography businesses.

Do I need any coding or website experience?

You can create and update your pages using Photium’s visual editor, without writing code. Start with a template, add your content and adjust the design to suit your business. Help is available if you get stuck.

Do I have to be a photographer?

No, not at all. Photium is for small businesses, independent professionals and creatives as well as photographers. You can showcase your work, explain your services, collect enquiries or sell products online. Simply choose a template and   make it your own, with helpful support from Photium along the way.

What help will I get with my website?

You can ask Photium for help with setting up your website, making changes and connecting your domain. Whether you’re starting from scratch or getting stuck on a particular task, we can guide you through it.

Yes. The free trial lets you setup a website without providing payment details. You can try the editor and build your website before choosing a paid package.

What’s included in a paid package?

Light, Standard and Advanced include website hosting, page editing, support and one .co.uk or .com domain, including its annual renewal. There is no setup fee. Email forwarding is included; full email accounts cost extra. Compare packages for prices, storage and features.

Can I keep my existing domain name?

Can I sell products or share private client galleries?

All three paid packages include shop tools. Standard and Advanced also support digital downloads, while Advanced includes private galleries and client favourite selections. Photium takes no commission on sales; payment-provider fees still apply.

Can I change my package or cancel?
