Website design · Photographers

Website design for photographers who want inquiries, not just likes.

Your work sells itself once someone sees it. Getting seen is the hard part: most photographer sites load slowly, say almost nothing Google can read, and lean on Instagram for traffic. I build sites that show your work fast and get found for the venues, places and sessions you want to book.

What the site has to do

What a photography website needs to get booked.

01

Big photos that still load fast

Galleries are heavy. Every image is resized and compressed for the screen it's shown on, so the site stays quick on a phone. Alyson McClaran's site loads in 1.2 seconds.

02

Venue and location pages

Couples and planners search for photographers at specific venues and places. A page for each venue you've shot, with your photos and a few paragraphs about the space, is how photographers get found for the shoots they want. Alyson's venue guides do exactly this.

03

Words Google can read

A gallery with no text gives Google nothing to rank. Each session type gets a page that says what it is, where you shoot it and where pricing starts, if you share it.

04

An inquiry form that qualifies

Date, venue or location, type of session and how they found you. You know which inquiries are worth a call before you reply.

05

Your galleries stay where they are

Client galleries and booking can stay on the tools you use now. The site links to them, so nothing about your delivery changes.

What you get

Built by hand, run by you.

  • Plain HTML on your own Cloudflare accountYour site becomes plain files instead of WordPress. It loads fast, there's nothing to update, and hosting costs $0.
  • The dashboardChange a price, swap a photo, post a special or write a blog post yourself. It goes live in about a minute, and one button sends anything bigger to me.
  • Every old address moved overIf you already have a site, every page gets a permanent redirect, so you keep what Google already knows about you.
  • Ten weeks after launchMonths two and three go to the work that gets the site found: service and town pages, your Google profile and reviews.

Months two and three: $750 each

That's the work that gets you found, and it completes the first 90 days.

After day 90: $750 a month, if you want it

Once the site is set up, we look at what's working and decide together where the monthly work goes next. Or stop. The site, the dashboard and the account are yours either way.

A local shop's site is $1,500 to $2,500, plus $50 to $199 a month for hosting and care, every month. Your hosting with me is $0. You pay for your domain, about $15 a year.

Questions

Questions I hear.

I'm on Squarespace or Showit. Can you move me?

Yes. Every page moves over with a redirect from its old address, so you keep what Google already knows. Your galleries and booking tools can stay where they are.

I get most clients from Instagram. Do I need SEO?

Instagram works for people who already follow you. Google is where people who've never heard of you search for a photographer at their venue or in their town. Having both is worth it.

Will my work look as good as it does now?

Yes. Images are sized for each screen and compressed carefully, so they look sharp on a big monitor and still load fast on a phone.

Will I lose my Google rankings when you move my site?

Not if the move is done right, and that's most of the first two weeks. Every old address gets a permanent redirect, titles and descriptions carry over, and I watch Search Console for the first 30 days. The biggest move so far was 324 addresses without losing a page.

Who owns the site?

You do. The domain, the Cloudflare account and the files are all in your name. If we stop working together, you keep all of it and the site keeps running.
