Who This Template Is Perfect For
Photography
A dark, full-bleed portfolio for photographers who want the work to carry the page. Everything in the preview is a placeholder. The name, the frames, the camera details and the rates are all replaced with yours.
The Process
Two to Four Weeks
Tell me this is the direction. We talk through the work you want to lead with, the clients you are chasing, and how people book you.
Your edit, your kit list and your rates. I send a simple checklist so nothing is missed.
I adapt the design to your brand and send it over to review. We go back and forth until you approve the final look.
Domain connected, analytics set up, and a full handover. After launch, new work and any changes you want come straight to me and are handled as part of your monthly care plan.
Click any frame and it opens full screen, arrow keys move, escape closes. Hover and the camera details come up, lens, aperture, shutter, ISO, like reading a contact sheet. The whole page sits in a cool near-black with a fine film grain, so nothing on it competes with the colour in your photographs.
What It Costs
Quoted Separately
$500+A one-time build fee, quoted per project based on how much you want on the site. Hosting and care is a separate monthly cost, quoted at the same time so you see both numbers before committing.
Design adapted to your brand, your edit set into the gallery, rate cards written up, enquiry form connected, and launch handled.
From $500, quoted per project. You will have a fixed number in writing before any work begins.
Keeps the site online, fast, secure and backed up, with software kept current.
Separate from the build, quoted at the same time so you see both numbers together. New work is sized, compressed and added for you as part of the plan.
Good to Know
Before We Start
You are choosing a design direction, not buying a file. There is nothing to download or configure. I adapt this look to your brand, build every section around your content and your words, and send it over to review. We go back and forth until you approve the final look, then it goes live on your domain.
The demo shows eleven, which is about right for a portfolio that has been edited properly. It will comfortably handle forty or fifty. Past that we should talk about paging or lazy loading so the page does not get slow.
You send me the new images and I add them, sized and compressed correctly, which matters more on a photography site than most. New work is covered under your monthly care plan. If you would like a section you can update yourself, we can set that up, just raise it on the onboarding call and we will talk through the options and cost.
Client proofing is a different job from a portfolio, and the honest answer is that a dedicated service like Pic-Time, Pixieset or ShootProof does it better than I could build from scratch. I will link it from your site so it feels seamless, and those services charge their own fee.
Possible, and it is a bigger build. Most photographers are better served connecting a print lab or a store platform than running fulfilment themselves. Tell me what you are picturing and I will quote it honestly.
Partly, and I will not overstate it. I can disable right-click, serve sized-down images rather than full-resolution files, and add a watermark. None of that stops a determined screenshot, nothing on the web does.
Yes. The files, the domain and the content are yours, and your images remain entirely your copyright. If you ever move to another host or designer, everything transfers.
No, I work anywhere in the US. If you are local we can meet in person.
Love this template?
If none of the designs fit, I build from a blank page too. Same process, more discovery.
