Website design for photographers
Your photos are the product, so the site has to show them well and load fast on a phone. A clean portfolio with clear packages and a WhatsApp button is all a booking needs.
What your customers search for
Clients search by the type of shoot and the place: wedding photographer, matric farewell photos, newborn shoot, product photography, corporate headshots. They scan your portfolio for a style they like, then check packages.
What your website should show
- Portfolio galleries separated by type of shoot, each with your best 10 to 20 images.
- Packages with what is included and a starting price.
- How far ahead people should book, and your travel areas.
- Real client words, once you have permission to show them.
- How many edited photos clients get and how long delivery takes.
- A WhatsApp button for date checks and bookings.
Make WhatsApp do the work
A booking depends on the date, the place and the type of shoot. A button that opens a message with those blanks gives you what you need to say yes or no in one reply.
Example message: Hi, I would like to book a [type of shoot] on [date] in [area]. Are you available?
Pages you need

Questions people ask
Will large photos make the site slow?
We compress every image so the page loads quickly on mobile data, while keeping it sharp. Full-size files are delivered to clients separately.
Should I show prices?
Show starting prices for your packages. Clients who can afford you will book, and you will spend less time answering price questions.
Can clients download their photos from the site?
Delivery usually happens through a gallery service or a download link you share on WhatsApp. The website is for showing your work and taking bookings.
Can I have separate pages for weddings and portraits?
On the Business plan you can have separate pages for each type of shoot. Each page can match a more specific search.
