A photography website built around your work
Your photos make the sale. Describe what you shoot, and PressUp builds a site around your portfolio, your packages and a form to ask about a date. Then add your own work in the chat.
What PressUp can put on your site
What a photography website needs
It's a starting point, not a template: ask for more in the chat, and change any of it later.
-
1
Portfolio galleries
Clients make up their minds from your pictures before they read a word. Upload your own photos in the chat and PressUp sets them in galleries, carousels or full-width slideshows, grouped by weddings, families or portraits.
-
2
Packages and prices
Couples and families compare what they get before they write to you. PressUp lays your packages side by side: hours of coverage, edited images, albums or prints, and a price or a starting price.
-
3
Your style
People book a photographer they feel at ease with. Tell PressUp whether you shoot candid or posed, light and airy or dark and moody, and what a session with you is like, and it says so beside your work.
-
4
Where you shoot
Say where you are based, the venues and parks you know and whether you travel for weddings, with any travel fee. PressUp puts it up front, so couples marrying out of town see that you will come to them.
-
5
Words from past clients
A kind note from one couple or family reassures the next. PressUp can email your clients from the dashboard to ask for a review, and your site shows the ones they agree to share.
-
6
Date enquiries
Popular wedding dates go early, so couples want an answer fast. A form asks for the date, the place and the kind of shoot, and it lands in your PressUp inbox and your email.
How it works
From a few sentences to a live website
-
Describe your business
Say what you do and where, in your own words. Add screenshots of sites you like, if you have some in mind.
-
Get a site made for it
PressUp plans the pages, writes the words and designs a look that suits your business. It usually takes a few minutes.
-
Change it by asking, then publish
“Add a service.” “Make it feel more premium.” Ask in plain words, undo anything, and publish when you're happy.
Getting found
How people find a photographer
Clients search for the kind of shoot and the place: "wedding photographer" and a city, "newborn photographer near me", "headshots" and a neighborhood. Search engines read words, not pictures, so a site that names your shoots and where you work gives them something to match, and your portfolio does the rest.
-
A page for each kind of shoot
Weddings, families, newborns and headshots are different searches with different clients behind them. Ask in the chat and PressUp gives each kind of shoot you offer its own page, photos and packages.
-
A page for each place you work
Couples look for a photographer where they plan to marry, and families look where they live. A page for each city or region you really cover, written for that place, helps you appear there.
-
Your listings and Instagram
Many couples browse wedding directories like The Knot, and plenty of clients find photographers on Instagram or the map. Put your site on each listing, in your bio and on your Google Business Profile, so every path ends at your portfolio.
Every PressUp site comes with the basics search engines look for: a title and description for each page, your business details in a form Google can read, a sitemap, pages that load fast on phones, and Bing told about your changes when you publish.
Questions
Questions about a photography website
Do I need a website if I already post on Instagram?
Instagram is good for being seen, but posts sink in the feed and a client can't easily find your prices or where you work. A website keeps your best work in order, explains your packages and lets someone send their date and details in one go. Put the link in your bio for followers who are ready to book.
What should a photography website include?
A portfolio of your best work grouped by kind of shoot, your packages and prices or starting prices, where you are based and whether you travel, a little about you and your style, reviews from past clients and an enquiry form. PressUp starts with all of it, and you can ask for more in the chat.
Can I have separate galleries for weddings, families and portraits?
Yes. Ask in the chat and PressUp makes a gallery, or a whole page, for each kind of shoot, shown as a grid, a carousel or a slideshow. Upload new photos whenever you finish a session and say where they go; reorder or remove any of them the same way.
Where do the photos on my site come from?
From you. Upload your own pictures in the chat and say where they go. Any artwork PressUp makes is decorative, like a background or a texture, and you can replace or remove any image by asking. Only post photos of clients who have agreed to it.
How much does a photography website cost with PressUp?
Building it is free, with no card: your site on a pressup.site address, with hosting and 20 credits to change it by chat. Pro, at $29 a month, adds your own domain, 200 credits a month and as many sites as you like.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on Pro. Connect a domain you already have, or find and buy one through PressUp, and PressUp points it at your site and sets up its security certificate.
How do I change the site later?
Ask in plain words in the chat, like "add a new service" or "change my phone number". PressUp makes the change, you look it over, and you can undo anything. Publish when you're happy.
