What clients look for on a photographer website
A couple or a business is choosing someone to trust with a day or a brand. They decide on the photos, then on the person.
Your best work, fast
Galleries that load quickly on a phone and show one kind of work at a time, such as weddings or portraits.
Packages and prices
A “from” price or a package list. Many photographer sites hide this.
A clear enquiry form
The date, the place, the type of shoot and a way to reach you.
Who is behind the camera
A short about page with your photo and your style, so a couple can picture you on their day.
Praise you can check
Reviews or testimonials from real clients, shown with their permission.
Copyright on a photographer website
Your site should make clear who owns the images and how clients may use them.
| The rule | What it means for your site |
|---|---|
| The author of a photograph is the first owner of its copyright (Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, section 11). | Say on your site that the images are yours, and state how a client may use them. |
| The IPO says that for a commissioned set, such as a wedding, copyright will usually remain with the photographer. A written assignment or licence can change that. | Put your licence or usage terms in writing and link them from your packages and enquiry form. |
This is not legal advice. Check the sources, and your contract, for your own case.

Questions photographers ask
How much does a photographer website cost?
Monthly plans start from £29.99 a month with nothing upfront. To pay once, one page is £199 and up to 5 pages is £399. Up to 8 pages is from £699. All prices include VAT. Your site usually goes live within 10 working days of you approving the free preview and sending your words and photos.
Can I sell prints or share galleries with clients?
Yes, through the print shop or gallery tool you already use. Linking it to your site is scoped in your quote.
What is the best website for photographers to share photos with clients?
A gallery tool made for the job, linked from your own site. I link to the one you use, or you can pick one. Linking or embedding is scoped in your quote.
Who owns the copyright in my wedding photos?
The author is the first owner of the copyright. The IPO says that for a commissioned set, such as a wedding, copyright will usually remain with the photographer. A written assignment or licence can change that.
How should a photographer website get clients?
Show your best work for one kind of shoot at a time, give a “from” price, and make the enquiry form short. A page for each area you work in helps people nearby find you.
Is a custom site better than Squarespace for photographers?
Neither is better for everyone. Squarespace suits photographers who like to build and edit alone. A custom site suits those who want it built for them around their work and their packages.
