Getting Started

A Gallera profile is your personal business-card website that you can use to present yourself as a photographer. It’s a public page where clients can learn more about you, browse your best work, check your prices, and easily get in touch with you.

Your profile lives at your own unique address (for example, username.gallera.io), which makes it a full-fledged alternative to a personal website.

Main profile features:

• Custom look: Set your own cover, avatar, and a description of your brand or services.
• Your own address: Set a short URL identifier (username) where your page will be available.
• Contact details and social media: Quick access to your phone, email, location, and links to your social media or your own website.
• Portfolio: Organize your best shoots into categories. Learn more about the portfolio.
• Price list (Prices): Publish service packages with prices and details. Learn more about prices.
• Easy sharing: Quickly share your profile with a link or generate a QR code right from your Gallera account.

Creating a profile

To get started with your profile:

1. Open My profile in the left menu.
2. You’ll be prompted to create a public page in the “Creating a profile” form.
3. Enter a Name — your name or alias — and click Create profile.

Once the profile is created, you’ll see the profile settings page, which has four tabs: General, Contacts, Portfolio, and Prices.

Setting up the basic information

On the General tab, you set up the main visual and informational elements that clients will see first:

• Avatar — your photo or logo in the profile header.
• Cover — a wide photo in the profile header. Drag the point on the cover to choose which part of the image is visible.
• Name or alias — how clients should address you or your studio. This is the main heading on your profile page.
• Address — your username (Latin letters and numbers only). This is your unique link: https://your-username.gallera.io. This address is also part of the links to all your galleries: once you change it, the old gallery links will stop working (learn more).
• Language — the language of the system texts on your profile page.
• Prices block title — what the prices section will be called on your page.
• About — tell clients about yourself: how many years you’ve been in the profession, your shooting style, what matters to you in your work. A handy text editor is available.

Once you’ve filled in the fields you need, be sure to click Save.

Adding contacts and social media

Go to the Contacts tab so your clients can easily reach you. Filled-in fields appear on your public page as interactive links and buttons.

You can add:

• Phone number for quick calls.
• Email for business inquiries.
• Location where you work (for example, “Kyiv, Ukraine”, “Warsaw”, or “Worldwide”).

In the Socials and links block, click Add link, choose the type (Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, and so on, or “Other link” — for example, your website), and enter the link. You can temporarily hide a link with the “Show” toggle and change the order of links by dragging them. Links are saved right away, while the phone, email, and location are saved with the Save button at the bottom of the page.

How do I view and share my profile?

Two buttons are always available in the top-right corner of the profile page:

1. Preview profile (eye icon) — opens your public page in a new tab so you can see it the way your clients do.
2. Share — opens the “Share profile” window, where you can:
   • Copy the link to your profile in one click.
   • Download a QR code that leads to your personal page. The QR code is handy to show at an in-person meeting or to print on business cards.
