The situation

What do Photography & Studios need from a website?

Clients hire photographers by looking at their work. Couples planning a wedding, companies needing product shots and families booking a portrait session all browse portfolios, compare styles and then send an enquiry. A fast, well-organised portfolio on your own domain presents your work better than a social feed where it competes with everything else.

A website also helps with the business side: package prices, availability questions, client galleries for delivering photos and a professional email address for contracts and invoices. Those details make a photographer easier to book and look more established to corporate clients.

We host portfolio websites with a free SSL certificate on every plan and business email on your own domain. Large galleries fit well on Corporate Hosting, plans are paid yearly by M-Pesa, and support is available 24/7 in English and Swahili.

Common problems

What usually goes wrong?

Your work gets lost in feeds

Clients scroll past your best images among memes and adverts, and older work disappears from view.

Enquiries lack the details you need

Messages ask only 'how much?', and you spend several replies learning the date, location and type of shoot.

Delivering photos is messy

Sending hundreds of images through chat apps compresses them and frustrates clients.

Questions

Photography & Studios: questions answered

Will lots of photos slow my website down?
Resize images for the web before uploading and use an optimisation plugin, so galleries stay sharp without slow loading on mobile data. Keep full-resolution originals for client delivery rather than your public portfolio.
Can I deliver photos to clients through the website?
Yes. Many photographers use password-protected gallery pages or a gallery plugin for client delivery. For very large collections, check storage on your plan; Corporate Hosting or a VPS gives more room.
Should photographers show prices?
Showing starting prices for common packages filters enquiries and saves time. Custom quotes still work for weddings and commercial jobs with many variables.
Which hosting plan suits a photographer?
A portfolio with optimised images runs well on shared hosting. If you store client galleries on the site as well, Corporate Hosting gives more storage and includes daily backups.
Are my photos backed up?
Corporate Hosting is backed up daily, and other plans can add CodeGuard. Always keep your own archive of original files on separate storage too, since a website backup is not a substitute.
How do I pay for hosting?
Plans are priced in shillings and can be paid yearly by M-Pesa. Support is available 24/7 in English and Swahili.
