02Must-haves

Every photographers site needs these.

Photography is the most purely visual service there is. Your website has one job: make your work impossible to ignore.

Full-Screen Portfolio

Your best images displayed large and fast. The portfolio is the entire website — everything else supports it.

Session Packages with Pricing

Named packages with what's included, how many hours, edited photos, delivery timeline, and price.

Availability & Booking

"Check availability for your date" — immediate booking inquiry converts before the prospect moves to another photographer.

Inquiry Form

Session type, date, location, how they found you — a simple form that starts the booking conversation.

Photographer Story

Your photography style, what you love to capture, and your approach. Clients book photographers they connect with.

Specialty Gallery Sections

Wedding, family, senior, newborn — organized galleries by specialty. Each section targets specific search queries.

Wedding & Client Reviews

Emotional reviews from wedding clients and families — these convert other wedding and family clients.

Gallery Delivery Info

Timeline, delivery platform, how many photos, print rights — setting expectations prevents objections.

05Design principles

Design Principles for Photography Websites

Get out of the way and let the photos speak.

01Images Load First

Photography sites are notorious for slow load times. Optimized, fast-loading images are a competitive advantage and an SEO factor.

02Minimal Chrome

Clean navigation, minimal text, maximum photo size. The design should be invisible — the photos are the product.

03Style Consistency

The entire site should reflect your editing style. Light and airy photographers should have light and airy sites. Dark and moody — same.

04Clear Booking Pathway

Portfolio → packages → availability → inquiry. Make this flow obvious and frictionless.

06Recommended structure
