Pixpa’s competitors abound: Squarespace, Wix, Weebly & Jimdo are just a few in the crowded field of startups & established Web building/hosting services, but perhaps what distinguishes Pixpa from its peers is its clear focus on serving creative pros & their specific portfolio hosting needs.

It comes with a collection of expertly designed templates that work well on mobile devices & can be customized with its built-in dag-and-drop style editor.

The company was founded & launched by New Delhi, India-based CEO Gurpreet Singh in 2013 & has since gained wide acceptance, with 1000s of users having signed up to the service.
