GearDex Sites: a website as good as your photographs.
Eight art-directed themes, a live editor, client galleries, a blog and booking with deposits, built into the GearDex you already use. Publish free, or put it on your own domain for $39 a year.

Eight themes. Not one template.
Each theme sets its own type, palette, header, hero, gallery and pricing layout, so no two sites look interchangeable. Start from one, then change any of it on Pro.

Pages that sell the work, not just show it.
Home, portfolio, investment, about, stories and contact, each with its own address, title and search description. Build them from 20 section types, then let the theme do the art direction.
- Galleries in rows, columns, a cropped grid or a draggable reel
- Services as cards, a ruled menu, a comparison table or one “from” price
- Testimonials, process, FAQ, press logos, video and before-and-after
- Calls to action that point at your inquiry form or booking page
20 sections. 59 layouts.
Change Layout swaps a section's arrangement and keeps its words and photos, so trying a new look never means starting over.

Made for the phone in their hand.
Most couples find you on a phone. Every layout ships a designed phone composition, and the editor previews it before you publish.
A website wired to the business.
Inquiries, bookings, client galleries and stories run through the GearDex you already use, so the site does work, not just decoration.
Booking with deposits
StudioBooking cards read your session types live. Clients pick a time on a booking page in your theme and pay the deposit through your own payment link. No cut taken.
Client galleries
Pro+Deliver a private gallery behind a password. Clients heart their favorites and download their photos, without leaving your site.
Stories, with RSS
Pro+Write up venues and real weddings with covers, dates and an index that pages itself, plus an RSS feed. The posts people find when they search for a venue.
Only GearDex knows what you shot it on.
Your gear already lives in GearDex, so your site can show it. The lightbox reads each photo’s camera, lens and settings, and kits turn your bag into pages other photographers bookmark. None of the site builders we compared do either.
- “Shot on” details from each photo, with location data never stored
- Kit sections as a grid, an “In the bag” list or a one-line strip
- Each kit keeps its own page at geardex.app/you/kit-name
Fast, findable and yours.
The parts nobody sees until they're missing: speed, search, addresses that don't break, and your photos kept out of AI training sets.
Static pages
Built once when you publish and served from a CDN. No server runs when someone visits.
Photos made light
Converted in your browser at upload into WebP at 480, 960, 1,600 and 2,400 pixels, never upscaled, with blur placeholders.
Your own domain
Connect yourname.com on Pro or Studio. HTTPS is issued automatically.
SEO built in
Titles and descriptions per page, sitemaps, robots, canonical links, structured data and social previews.
Redirects that follow you
Rename a page and its old link follows. Change your address and it redirects for 30 days on Pro, for good on Studio.
Password pages
Lock any page or kit with a password, on every plan.
Analytics without cookies
Views, visitors, top pages, referrers and Book clicks, on every plan.
AI-training opt-out
noai and noimageai on every page, and robots rules for AI training crawlers. On by default.
A real lightbox
Swipe, pinch to zoom, captions, keyboard, and a link to every photo.
How Site compares.
Where others are stronger, we say so: Squarespace and Pixieset sell prints, and Squarespace, Pixieset and Showit let you hand-arrange a phone layout. Site is the one built into your gear, your shoots and your bookings.

GearDex Sites, answered.
More questions? Visit support or contact us.
Yes. Starter publishes a real site at geardex.app/yourname: 3 pages, the Atelier, Index and Noir themes, and hero, gallery, about, text, kit and contact sections, with a small GearDex badge. You can try every theme and section in the editor; Publish tells you exactly which parts need an upgrade.
On Pro and Studio. Add your domain in the editor, set the DNS records it shows you, and HTTPS is issued automatically once the domain verifies. Your sitemap, RSS feed and links all use the new domain.
Pages are built once when you publish and served from a CDN, so no server runs when someone visits. Photos are converted in your browser at upload into WebP files from 480 to 2,400 pixels wide, with blur placeholders, so nothing jumps as a page loads. Sample home pages score 95–98 for mobile performance in Lighthouse (photo-led inner pages about 90), and 100 for accessibility, best practices and SEO.
On Studio. Booking cards show your session types, clients pick a time on a booking page styled like your site, and the deposit is paid through your own payment link, such as Stripe or PayPal. GearDex never handles or takes a cut of client payments.
Showcases became kits on your Site. Each kit keeps its own page at geardex.app/yourname/kit-name, wears your site's theme, and can sit on any page as a kit section.
GearDex Sites asks them not to, by default. Every page carries a noai, noimageai robots tag, and robots.txt turns away known AI training crawlers. Search engines still index your site as normal.
No. Pick a theme, click anything in the live preview to change it, and swap a section's layout without losing what's in it. Everything saves as a draft until you press Publish.
Your best work deserves a better home.
