I've got "clients" right now, but I'm thinking of changing it to "client login" or "proofs". I don't want casual visitors thinking that it is a second / alternate gallery, like they might if I had "view photos"...

I don't want to use proofs because i've actually had people say "ok, i saw the proofs but when can I order them? "

um, its all on the SAME SITE!

Client Login would probally be best. Purchase Prints is direct though but could be pushy. It might be just what you need.

I think it depends on your intent.


If you intend to have their photos available for viewing online in perpetuity then Client Viewing or Client gallery is more appropriate.

If you intend to force them to purchase prints then its wiser to put an expiration and name is appropriately like Proofs and Orders.

And lastly, it's ok to be pushy a bit (in a nice way of course), you're running a business after all not a charity.
