Squarespace is a general website platform with photography templates, portfolio pages, galleries, commerce, scheduling, and other business tools. It is a strong candidate when the portfolio needs to sit inside a larger marketing website.

ISO100 is designed for photographers who want the images and galleries to carry the whole public experience. It replaces broad page building with a focused set of portfolio decisions.

Squarespace can support the whole business website.

A photographer can combine portfolio pages with services, an about page, articles, appointment scheduling, and selling. Templates and a flexible page editor make it possible to build a site around a wider business model.

That breadth is especially useful when visitors need to do more than review photographs and make contact.

ISO100 makes portfolio publishing the shortest path.

The Studio workflow stays close to the photo edit. Upload the selected files, arrange galleries, choose covers and layouts, preview the public pages, and publish them together.

Photographers can add a custom domain with Plus, but the public site remains a portfolio rather than a collection of general website sections.
