Abstract27
Website design for photographers
Fast portfolios for photographers: galleries per series, services and prices, enquiry form, newsletter. Installed, hosted and maintained from £25 a month.
On this page
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 — a portfolio for an interior designer working across London and Paris: one page per project, in large photos, which she publishes herself.
- DoYouSpeakLondon — an online magazine about London, built around large photos and an editorial layout.
- Pâté-Croûte Championship — the website of a food event, with its photos and registrations.
Price
£25 a month in one language or £40 a month bilingual: we install your professional website and run it — hosting, security updates, daily backups and newsletter. No setup fee: you add your own texts with an editor as simple as writing an email, and you can cancel any time. Want us to build it all for you — pages written up, your existing content moved across, launch and training? Full website creation is £749 once, live in 7 days. See plans and pricing.
How it works
- Free call. You tell us about your organisation and what the site must do; we tell you exactly what we would build.
- 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.
- 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 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.

What our clients say about working with Abstract27: websites designed, built and run for them.
Jérémy is a professional who listens, is responsive, and always offers sound advice. He brought my design to life, respecting my wishes down to the smallest detail, while finding simple and effective solutions so I can easily manage my website. Always available and incredibly patient, he truly takes the time to help and find solutions. It's a real pleasure to work with him, and I recommend him without hesitation!
Valérie A. · ★★★★★ · October 2026 · Google review
Working with Abstract was one of the best professional decisions I made to boost my online presence and digital prospecting efforts. I initially built my website on Webflow, but I quickly realized that I wouldn't be able to easily manage updates because the system is complex… whereas with Abstract, it's very intuitive… a breeze. Jérémie did an exceptional job giving the site the look and feel I envisioned. He also gave me invaluable advice on streamlining and optimizing the customer experience. I'm thrilled: I'm autonomous, efficient, and well-structured.
Anne V. · ★★★★★ · October 2026 · Google review
I contacted Jérémie and Abstrat27 to create the website for my financial education platform. I had a specific set of requirements: to translate the brand strategy and graphic charter developed beforehand, to secure the content, especially the paid courses, while retaining full ownership of my content, and above all, to have a user-friendly website that I could easily update as I produced new content (I'm completely unfamiliar with computers). They succeeded! The website accurately reflects my vision, and I have complete autonomy to update it as my content evolves. I'm truly delighted with the result, and a huge thank you to Jérémie, who guided me and kept me focused on all my requirements. I highly recommend them!
anais S. · ★★★★★ · September 2026 · Google review
We used Abstrat27 to set up our website using Ghost and couldn't be happier. Jérémie really listened to what we needed, understood our vision and came up with great advice. From start to full migration, everything was handled efficiently. We love how easy it is to manage the website by ourselves now, which was exactly what we wanted. On top of that, Jérémie is incredibly available and explains everything clearly. Very professional, reliable and genuinely helpful! Highly recommend!
Club P. · ★★★★★ · March 2026 · Google review
I’d been using WordPress for years, but wanted something lighter and more modern. Jeremie handled the entire migration to Ghost, and honestly, he did an outstanding job. Everything went smoothly from start to finish — he was professional, responsive, and really listened to what I needed. I’m genuinely happy with the result. Ghost is a fantastic platform — clean, fast, and enjoyable to use — and Jeremie’s work made all the difference. I’d absolutely recommend him!
French A. · ★★★★★ · July 2025 · Google review
I would like to commend Jérémie Raude-Leroy for his remarkable commitment and expertise in managing our cultural and predictive platform, APAR.TV. His responsiveness and unparalleled guidance enabled a lightning-fast transition from our WordPress infrastructure to Ghost. Jérémie brilliantly orchestrated the migration of thousands of author accounts while simultaneously resetting all of our email accounts. Thanks to his expertise and professionalism, Jérémie not only met our expectations but exceeded them, delivering exemplary service. For all these reasons, we extend our sincerest thanks and affirm that he deserves our complete and unwavering trust.
Aurélien A. · ★★★★★ · June 2025 · Google review
Thank you Jeremie Raude-Leroy and Abstract27 - London Web Agency for the introduction to the Ghost #opensource solution and the help with creating and hosting our new website! It is a fantastic milestone for www.airc.digital in sharing our #openbim philosophy with the world!
Pierre S. · ★★★★★ · June 2024 · Google review
I wish I could give more than 5 stars, because the website Abstract27 made for me definitely is something else. I didn't know Ghost CMS at first and I was a bit skeptical. But I decided to take the leap of faith and oh boy was I positively surprised. Everything was done for me and the team even helped me customize the website. I've created dozens of WordPress website in the past but none matched Ghost CMS in terms of performance, ease of use and design. Thank you!!
Ayoub O. · ★★★★★ · May 2024 · Google review
I had been hosting my website on blogger and had been wanting to migrate to a fast, modern and mobile friendly platform for a while. Jérémie managed to convince me to make the move and I’m very happy he did. The result is stunning, SEO friendly and easy to maintain. And on top of that the ongoing hosting fees are very reasonable (actually cheaper than on Ghost Pro).
