How to make a website for a photographer

People choosing a photographer for a wedding, a pre-wedding shoot or a baby's first birthday judge you by your pictures first, then by packages and dates. A small website shows your work by type of shoot and sends people to your WhatsApp to check if you are free on their date.

What people look for on a photographer website

A portfolio by type of shoot: weddings, pre-wedding, maternity, newborn, birthdays, products or corporate events
Packages with what is included: hours of coverage, number of edited photos, album, video or drone
Starting prices, or which shoots are priced after a call
The cities and venues you travel to, and whether travel and stay are extra
How long it takes to deliver edited photos and the album
Who shoots: you alone or a team with a second photographer and a videographer
A quick way to check if you are free on a date: WhatsApp or a call

The pages your website needs

Home: The kinds of shoots you do, the city, a few strong photos and a WhatsApp button to check your date
Portfolio: Your photos grouped by shoot type, resized for phones, with couples and families shown only with their consent
Packages: Each package with hours, edited photos, album, video, starting price and what costs extra
About: Who you are, your team, the gear you use and how a shoot day runs from start to delivery
Contact: Studio address if you have one, cities covered, phone, WhatsApp and a Google Maps button

Sample words for your home page

Wedding and pre-wedding photography in Indore

Candid and traditional coverage across Indore, Ujjain and Bhopal. Wedding packages from ₹45,000. Message us to check your date.

Lens Story Studio is run by Farhan Qureshi and a team of three. We have photographed weddings, haldi and sangeet functions across Madhya Pradesh since 2016, and we deliver edited photos within four weeks. Send your date and venue on WhatsApp and we'll tell you if we are free.

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide the pages. Most photographer websites need these pages: Home, Portfolio, Packages, About, Contact.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.

Copy this request, change the details to match your photographer, and paste it into AppCub:

Make a website for my photography studio, Lens Story Studio, in Vijay Nagar, Indore. Pages: home, portfolio, packages, about and contact. Shoots: weddings, pre-wedding, maternity, newborn and birthdays. Packages: wedding one day ₹45,000 (candid and traditional, 400 edited photos, 40-page album), two days ₹80,000 with video; pre-wedding ₹18,000; newborn ₹8,000 at home. We travel to Ujjain and Bhopal; travel and stay extra outside Indore. Delivery in 4 weeks. Date checks on WhatsApp at 98XXXXXXXX. Black and white with a gold accent. I'll attach my photos.

Tips for a photographer website

Pick 8 to 12 of your strongest photos for each shoot type rather than uploading a whole wedding.
Ask couples and families before putting their photos online, and get a parent's consent for any child or newborn photo.
Write what each package includes in plain numbers: hours, edited photos, album pages, video length.
Say how long editing and the album take; it is one of the first questions people ask.
Keep watermarks small so the pictures still look good on a phone.
Create a free Google Business Profile for your studio and put the website link there.

Good to know

Clients can't book a date, pay an advance or download their photos from the website; they message or call you, and you deliver photos the way you do today. For bookings, advances and album delivery status, a photographer's app is the better fit.
The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.

Questions

How many photos should a photographer's portfolio have?

Enough to show each type of shoot well, often 8 to 12 per type. AppCub resizes your photos so the pages open well on a phone.

Can clients check my available dates on the website?

Not on the website itself; it has no calendar. Every page has a WhatsApp button so they can send their date and venue and you reply.

Can I give clients a private gallery to download their wedding photos?

No. The website has no logins or private galleries; keep using the way you deliver photos today, like a drive link or a pen drive.

Should I show prices for wedding photography?

Showing starting prices with what is included helps people decide to call. For large or multi-day weddings, say the price is given after a call.

Do I need permission to show clients' photos?

Yes, ask your clients first, and for children and newborns get a parent's consent. Many photographers add this to their booking agreement.

Will people searching for photographers find my site on Google?

The pages are made so Google can read them, with your city and shoot types written clearly. Where they show up is Google's decision; a free Google Business Profile helps on Maps.
