**Clients choose a photographer on their pictures, usually on a phone, in a few seconds: if the gallery is slow or your prices are nowhere to be found, they move on. Abstract27 builds photographer portfolios that load fast, show off your series and turn a visit into an enquiry. We install, host and maintain them for £25 a month, with no setup fee and no contract — or build the whole site for you for £749 once.**

## What a photographer website needs

- **A portfolio per series or per service**: wedding, portrait, corporate, events, property… each gallery has its own page.
- **Large images that load fast**: resized automatically for every screen and loaded as visitors scroll.
- **Your services and prices**, or at least your "from" packages, to attract the right clients.
- **An enquiry or booking form** on every page: form, online calendar or WhatsApp.
- **A journal or blog** telling the story of your shoots: every post is one more page found on Google.
- **A newsletter** for past clients: mini-sessions, seasonal offers, new projects.

## What your clients will see

## Photographer: image rights and copyright on your website

- **People in your photos**: under UK GDPR, a photo of an identifiable person is personal data. Keep a signed model release before publishing a portrait or a wedding, and parental consent for a child.
- **Your copyright**: under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, you are the first owner of the photos you take, commissions included, unless your contract says otherwise. Your website shows your credits and the terms for using your images.
- **Privacy policy and removals**: your website has a privacy policy, and we take an image down on request.

We set up these pages with you before launch. You remain responsible for your website's content.

## Your client galleries

Your website gets you known and brings in enquiries. To deliver photos to clients, with proofing and downloads, keep your private gallery tool (Pixieset, Pic-Time…): we link it from your site with a "Client area" button.

## New website, redesign or migration: we handle it

No website yet? We build it. A site on Wix, WordPress, Squarespace or a directory platform? We rebuild it and move your content, redirecting every old address so you keep your Google rankings. Building, redesigning and moving your content are part of our full website creation: £749 once, live in 7 days. Then we stay on: updates, backups and changes on request. The photographer focuses on the work; we run the website.

## Built on Ghost, open-source software you own

Every site we build runs on Ghost®, the open-source publishing platform. The editor is as simple as writing an email, the newsletter is built in, pages load fast, and your content and subscriber list can be exported at any time — nothing is locked in. Ghost is the only platform we build on.

## What we have built

- [Madame Design](https://abstract27.com/website-creation-for-an-interior-designer-in-london-madamedesign-uk/) — a portfolio for an interior designer working across London and Paris: one page per project, in large photos, which she publishes herself.
- [DoYouSpeakLondon](https://abstract27.com/website-creation-for-an-independent-online-magazine-doyouspeaklondon-com/) — an online magazine about London, built around large photos and an editorial layout.
- [Pâté-Croûte Championship](https://abstract27.com/website-for-the-world-pate-croute-championship-british-semi-final-patecrouteuk-co-uk/) — the website of a food event, with its photos and registrations.

## How it works

1. **Free call.** You tell us about your organisation and what the site must do; we tell you exactly what we would build.
2. **Your site installed within a week.** We set up your website, newsletter and forms — the same day if it is urgent — and you add your texts. With full website creation (£749 once), we build your pages too: written up, your existing content moved across, live in 7 days. If you prefer, we build it first on a beta site of ours: you check that everything works, and only when it suits you do we move it to your official domain, safely.
3. **We run it for you.** Hosting, updates, backups and changes on request are included. You publish when you want, we handle the rest. We adapt to what you need — our [client reviews](https://abstract27.com/reviews/) say so.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does a photographer website cost?

With Abstract27, £25 a month in one language or £40 bilingual: we install your website and run it (hosting, updates, backups, newsletter), with no setup fee and no contract. Want us to build it all for you — galleries set up, copy written, your existing content moved across, launch and training? Full website creation is £749 once.

### Will my photos load fast?

Yes. Every image is resized automatically for the screen and loaded as visitors scroll: nobody downloads your full-resolution files.

### Can I add a gallery myself?

Yes. Drag your photos into the editor, they arrange themselves as a gallery, and you publish. A new series takes a few minutes.

### Do you build private galleries for my clients?

Your website gets you known and brings in enquiries. To deliver photos with proofing and downloads, keep your client gallery tool (Pixieset, Pic-Time…): we link it from your site.

### Will I be found for "photographer + my town"?

Each page is built for Google: titles, image descriptions, address, structured data and fast loading. A journal of your shoots, published regularly, adds pages that match what your clients search for.

### Can my photos be protected from copying?

No website can fully stop screenshots. We publish web-sized images (never your originals), show your credits and terms of use, and you can add a signature to your images.

### My site is on Squarespace, Wix or WordPress: can you rebuild it?

Yes. We move your galleries and copy and redirect every old address so you keep your Google rankings.

### How fast can my website be live?

As fast as you need: the same day if it is urgent, otherwise within a week. If you prefer, the first version lives on a beta site first: you check everything, then we move it to your official domain, safely.
