Password-protected galleries for photographers
PhotoPort lets photographers create clean portfolio websites with password-protected galleries for work they do not want fully public.
$6/month after your 7-day trial. No annual contract.
Use PhotoPort when you need a focused portfolio site
If your site is mainly a place to show your work, collect inquiries, and look credible on your own domain, PhotoPort is built for that narrower job.
Good fit
- You want clean galleries and a professional home for your work.
- You need custom domains, password-protected galleries, pages, and contact forms.
- You want the monthly cost to stay easy to justify.
Not the right fit if
- You need proofing, print sales, booking, invoices, contracts, or CRM.
- You want a broad website builder for a larger business site.
- You prefer paying more for an all-in-one business platform.
Still deciding?
Open the demo first, then start the 7-day trial only if the portfolio-first approach feels right.
Why password protection matters
Not every gallery belongs in public view. PhotoPort keeps password protection simple so you can control access to selected work while keeping the rest of your portfolio open and professional.
Selective access
Share only the galleries you want certain people to see while keeping the rest of your work public.
Part of a full portfolio site
Password protection sits inside a broader photography website, not as a separate workflow tool.
Simple setup
The feature supports controlled viewing without pushing you into a complicated business platform.
A professional portfolio with room for privacy
Password-protected galleries work best when they live inside a broader site that still feels clean, branded, and easy to navigate.
Where password protection fits best
Password protection works best when it is part of a broader portfolio website, not a separate system you have to manage on top of your site.
Private project galleries
Keep selected bodies of work out of public view when they are not meant for everyone.
Selective sharing
Share access more deliberately instead of making every gallery public by default.
Part of your main site
Password protection lives inside the broader portfolio experience instead of forcing a separate workflow.
Simple setup
Add privacy controls without taking on a more complex platform than you need.
Clean presentation
Keep the site itself polished and professional while controlling access behind the scenes.
Affordable value
Get privacy features as part of an affordable portfolio platform instead of paying for a larger system.
Privacy controls should not require a bigger platform.
PhotoPort started because I wanted a portfolio site that could stay simple while still handling the practical things photographers actually need. Password-protected galleries are part of that: useful, straightforward, and built into the site instead of sold as a whole separate system.
Questions photographers ask about protected galleries
These are the main questions behind searches for password-protected gallery features.
Is this a client proofing platform?
No. PhotoPort supports password-protected galleries, but it is not positioned as a full client proofing or selection workflow product.
Can I protect only some galleries?
Yes. Password protection is useful when you want some work public and some work accessible only to selected viewers.
Does this still work as a portfolio website?
Yes. The protected galleries sit within a broader photography portfolio site, so you can balance open presentation with selective access.
