5 Things A Phographer Should Look Out For When Creating A Website


There are many who earn a lot through Wedding, Event and other types of Photography. Today, the new-age theme of Destination Photography is also being heard a lot. In short, it is very important for a photographer to showcase his/her work profile and ethic as well as possible. This is the reason why it becomes extremely important for them to have a smart website.

What does a photography website need?

Strong portfolio Client login panel Mobile compatibility Payment gateway Gallery Management System

Strong portfolio

The portfolio must not have any constraints of image pixilation and should be capable of being worked over thumbnails. This makes a site look professional and helps it in showcasing images without having to scroll up or down a lot. Also, it is important to keep images segregated within various subheadings or via drop down menus.

Client login panel

This facility helps any client of a photographer to have his own personal gallery maintained by himself. The client receives a username and password and all his information is kept protected. If he chooses to buy a picture or get a hardcopy for it, he can simply go to his login panel and apply for the same.

Mobile compatibility

Let us suppose you have got your wedding pictured through a given photographer. Now, you are very happy with the work and want to show it to a friend of yours while moving in a car. How do you do that? Naturally you would show it over your mobile device. However, if the same photographer does not have a mobile compatible website, the portfolio images will get pixilated badly over a 2.5 inches screen.

Payment gateway

If a client wants to buy a few pictures from his own personal gallery, there must be provision for it. The most popular and easy to install payment gateways would include PayPal, World Pay, Moneybookers etc.

Gallery management system

This feature helps in making any number of changes on the portfolio. Such changes may be along the lines of simple edits or complete deletion or addition of images. A photography website should be equipped with a content management system which enable the photographers to upload new images to their portfolio as and when they require. The kind of tool comes in very handy and saves a lot of time and money in terms of maintenance of the website.

If you think that including all of the above functions in your website could cost you a bomb then that would not be quite right. There are many free and open-source softwares available in the market which makes the development very cost effective.
