"Best place to get a website very easily"
What do you like best about Format?

"Platform for non tech photographers"
What do you like best about Format?

Format provides a platform to non-tech photographers to create websites and showcase their work to the entire world. This is easy to use and for non-tech artists. This tool has helped a lot of people in my community too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Format?

Although there is no such problem, I would like to highlight one small suggestion to format team please make something more eye-catching for mobile apps as in today's handheld device world, every one wants their website to be on mobile and tablets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nice tool to build your website regardless of the programming skills you have."
What do you like best about Format?

I liked the ease with which it allows you to create websites as it gives you endless options to develop your creative side and unleash your imagination, you are the owner of your ideas and Format helps you make them come true. Other thing to note is that you don't need to have advanced programming knowledge since this system provides you with an intuitive environment so that you can create what you want with just a few clicks thanks to the graphic editor that integrates, the user just has to choose what they want to incorporate into its website and the software does the whole coding part for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Format?

It does not allow the functions of edition if you connect by means of your smart phone lowering your productivity and preventing you from working outside a working environment and only making changes through its web application.

There are optimization issues regarding the image upload mechanism that creates delays depending on the image format you want to use.

Some templates feature monotone layouts so it can result in a repetitive page if you don't make significant changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Format – A Valuable Tool"
What do you like best about Format?

I love using Format to display my photography work. I love the ease and efficiency of being able to quickly uploads my work and know that it's going to be displayed perfectly in the ready made theme. My favourite feature though is the Proofing section. Being able to send client proofs that are password protected is SO helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Format?

I'd like a little more customisation options, especially for mobile considering many websites are built mobile first. Another small thing I'd like to see added on the proofing area is being able to see who has accessed the gallery. At the minute it only shows who's downloaded the images. I'd like to be able to see who has viewed them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I would recommend format for a professional and straightforward online portfolio "
What do you like best about Format?

What I like best about format is the creative opportunities I’ve received from using this site. I think that it’s a rare and admirable quality for a web hosting company to reach out to its customers with unique opportunities catered to the artist / business owner’s craft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Format?

The only thing I dislike about format is the cost of hosting. I find it’s one of the easiest sites to use with the most professional outcome but it is on the steeper side of web hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, stylish and efficient"
What do you like best about Format?

There many things I like: Being able to add and intro page; my theme which is minimalist, simple yet elegant; but the most important is that the support team is fully available to clarity my doubts and guide me step by step in order to solve my problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Format?

I dislike the fact that themes do not have animations or flash features. A flash intro would be a great thing to have on my site. I would also love to have more "pages" or features for my "intro" page to chose from, the intro page is the page that goes before my landing page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great platform for creative portfolio display"
What do you like best about Format?

Format offers very easy to use, minimalist and effective website templates that are very well-suited for creative types that need to display their work online. There is a good plan variety, with most affordable option at a competitive price. Templates are easy to fill with content, technical support is great, service is exceptionally well-maintained. My website never crashed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Format?

There are some limitations as per number of galleries, photos you can upload / store, number of products in your store etc, that come with the most affordable plan. The editing of any single template is limited. It's less flexible than Squarespace in terms of building the template, but suits basic needs well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best and the easiest way to build your portfolio"
What do you like best about Format?

For me, Format was the best choice. I was looking for a way to build my website, and do it very easily, and then I became familiar with Format, which was just perfect for me. I took me very little time to raise my website, and present my portfolio to other people. Besides that, I think that my Format based website has led mine to a lot of new customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Format?

The one thing that I disliked is that fact that it's a bit hard to make design changes in HTML. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
