Website design for photographers
A portfolio website where the work does the talking.
For a photographer, filmmaker or designer, the work is the argument. The website should give the images room, load them fast, and then answer the practical questions that turn admiration into a booking.
What a portfolio website needs
- Large images that still load quickly on a phone
- Galleries by type of work, such as weddings, products or portraits
- Packages or a starting price, so enquiries arrive with a budget
- An about page with a real photo of you
- An enquiry form that asks for the date, place and type of shoot
- Links to your Instagram, without depending on it
The package that usually fits
Business website
Eight pages gives each type of work its own gallery, plus packages, an about page and the enquiry. A single speciality can start with the launch website.
Fast images, not small ones
A portfolio full of uncompressed photos is slow, and a slow portfolio is closed before the best image appears. Images resized and saved in modern formats can stay large and sharp while loading quickly.
Your own space, not just Instagram
Instagram is where people discover your work. Your website is where you control the order, show complete stories and explain your packages, and it is what appears when someone searches your name or your speciality and city.
Questions
What people ask before they start.
Can clients view and download their photos on the site?
Private client galleries are a custom feature and quoted separately. Many photographers use a dedicated gallery service and link to it from the site.
Will the images lose quality?
No. They are resized to the size they are shown at and saved in modern formats, which keeps them sharp while making them load far faster.
Should I put prices on a photography website?
A starting price or a few packages usually helps. It means the enquiries you get already fit your budget.
