Create a photography website that pops

Create a photography website FAQs:

Why should you create a photography website?

When people are looking to hire a photographer, they need to be able to see examples of past work to decide whether the style of photography matches their needs.

You can't really showcase your work online if you don't have a professional website. Sure, you can place your images onto social media and hope for the best.

However, visitors want to see that you've put in time and effort to set up an online 'storefront' with an extensive gallery they can browse from the comfort of their own home.

How to promote your photography website?

Building and publishing a website is just the first step. You've got to market it to attract clients.

When you publish a new website, it will take some time for people to find it.

That said, the best way to do that on a low budget is through social media. Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest are probably the best channels to showcase your photography skills and gain new clients.

Try and deliver value with each post and don't just spam your followers with purely promotional content. Get creative.

And there's always the free promotional method – word of mouth. If you do a good enough job serving your clients, they'll let others know about you too.

How to choose a template for your photography website?

Our photography website builder has got plenty of templates for you to choose from. In fact, that might cause decision paralysis.

You should think about your aesthetic and what template would match that best.

As a photographer, you're bound to have a style: from elegant and flowery, to dark and bold, everyone can find a professional template here on Zyro.

What makes a good photography website?

Looking at the big picture (if you pardon the pun), a good photography website shows off your work and offers people a few ways to get in touch with you to commission new work.

The rest are details, albeit important ones. You should get a memorable domain (site address), take the time to set out your business information and perfect your portfolio.

Remember, people have short attention spans and will probably spend just a few minutes on your website. Make sure that their first impression is positive.

Can people book services directly on my website?

We don't have such functionality just yet. It's coming soon!

However, you can use a form to take down the details of someone wishing to book your photography services. It's easy.

Think about what details you might need from them. This includes which type of photography they're after, whether it's an event or a studio shoot, how many people will be photographed and when, and you can write them back with an accurate estimate and your availability.
