FolioHD

What FolioHD is

FolioHD is a web service for building photo-based websites and portfolios. Users can import media from Dropbox, Instagram, Google Photos, Flickr, or Google Drive, then use Smart Themes that adapt designs to content while allowing choices of colors and fonts. Sites can include custom pages, contact forms, images, PDFs, and video embeds from Vimeo or YouTube, and are designed for computers, tablets, and phones. Galleries can be hidden or password-protected, and users can password-protect an entire site. All subscriptions include right-click protection that shows a blank image instead of the original. FolioHD offers custom domains, portfolio analytics, and selling tools. Its Fotomoto integration can support sales of prints and other products but requires a Power or Pro subscription. Google Analytics and G Suite domain email are supported. Image files can be up to 50 MB each. All plans include secure hosting, servers across the globe, and a stated 99.9% uptime guarantee. FolioHD has a free plan; the Basic plan costs $6 a month and includes 200 uploads and 10 galleries. The Starter plan has 36 uploads and limited features. The maker was founded in 2010 and is based in Orange County, California.
