Winner From the Very Beginning
First, the interface is super simple and intuitive to use. Few clicks and you know exactly where you are or where you need to go to find your way around the software. Things don't need to be complicated to WORK! And when you have clients in the studio, the last thing you need is to fumble with finding your way around software. Kudos on simplified intuitive design!
CONSI wish there was an album design/show option incorporated. BUT, I know this isn't what the software does and it's not something I ever held against it. I wouldn't say I like it less because of this. There are very few things I don't like about Swifft Galleries because it has always helped me do exactly what I needed and that is to sell artwork in a very relaxed, non-salesy way that my clients always appreciated and enjoyed.

Good
Swift Galleries is fairly easy to use and set up.
CONSIf a client proofing session goes over 90 minutes it starts glitching, freezing, etc.

It's almost great.
The swift gallery team is amazing, customer support just incredible. This is a relatively new program and when they update the design platform, it's going to be a force to recon with! Until then, it's a huge pain to do simple things like switching images takes a hundred clicks through all these weird menus. One of the most odd things is creating and scheduling "opportunities" before I can start playing around with ideas with my client. I don't understand what the point of all that is, just wasting more of my time.
PROSIt can show circle products on walls! It's easy to calibrate uploaded room views.
CONSDesigning wall galleries is painful, not intuitive and extremely tedious. It can be done, but I wish it was user friendly drag and drop like n-vu. The included rooms are awful, ugly and unprofessional. Plan to invest several hundred in better rooms.

Thanks for your review! We're sorry you haven't found the workflow intuitive. We'd love to get on a call and walk through your use case to see what may work better! You may also not be using keyboard and double-click shortcuts in the designer. "Opportunities" are for sales meeting, but if you're just creating something to show a client without adding other products and checking out, clicking Design from inside that client area will do the trick - design and save any suggestions there and you can download and share.

Gets the job done, start to finish
I have been using Swift Galleries for years and my clients really love it. It gets the job done, is easy and has all the needed functions for a smooth selling process. I love Swift Galleries!
PROSShowing clients their images on their walls always impresses them and makes my job so much easier. The order export kees things quick and simple for me to place the order with my lab, with any additional touch ups I see fit.
CONSThe fact it is all on the web slows it down a lot. Takes awhile to upload a client's image if wifi isn't too good. I don't like how you can't save to suggestions during an ordering session, you have to add it to the cart.

Swift Galleries is Great
I like all the features it offers for an affordable price. I like that you can keep up with clients and cull through their images, and clients love that I can add their photos to their wall to see what it is going to look like before they buy!
CONSI don't like that when you go through the images and clients choose which photos they like and which ones they don't like you cannot see the number of images they have selected to keep. I always get the question "ok, so how many photos have we said we liked?" and then I have to go and manually count each photograph which can lead to me miscounting and it is time consuming. It is also tough once you choose the images they like and don't like to go back from the designer to the compare window. Sometimes I have clients that will change their mind and they want to see an image the decided against the first time up on their wall, I have had times where I lose all the information in regards to what they culled through and it looks unprofessional on my part.

Thanks for your honest review! When you can, I'd love to get on a call with you about how you're using Swift Galleries and what you're doing in terms of needing to know the number of yes/no images. In case there's any confusion, you can put No images into products and put them through the whole order and the order will still be completed, so you do not need to change a No to a Yes to be able to include it in an order.
