Choose the Right Gallery Layout
Your gallery is the heart of your site. The layout you choose should match your photographic style and target audience:
Grid Layout
Ideal for showcasing a variety of images at once. Great for photographers with a broad portfolio.
Full-Screen Slideshows
Perfect for impactful storytelling, especially for weddings or travel photography.
Carousel/Slider
Best for product or fashion photographers who want to guide the viewer through selected highlights.
Tip: Use lightbox functionality to allow clients to view larger versions without leaving the page.
If you’re starting from scratch, our Basic4 Website Plan includes gallery setup with Elementor Pro and a homepage design perfect for photography portfolios.
Design a Homepage That Reflects Your Style
Your homepage sets the tone. Keep it simple, bold, and clear:
- Use one hero image or a short fullscreen video to showcase your strongest work.
- Add a one-sentence intro describing what you do and who you serve.
- Make the next step obvious—whether that’s visiting your gallery, reading about you, or booking a session.
- Avoid clutter. Let your work speak first, then guide with clear navigation.
For growing businesses with multiple services (wedding, portraits, events), Value7 Website Plan gives you 3 landing pages and 4 internal pages to structure everything professionally.
Optimize Image Speed Without Losing Quality
Photography websites are image-heavy. To keep your site fast:
- Use WebP format for smaller file sizes and good quality.
- Compress images with tools like TinyPNG, ShortPixel, or Imagify.
- Set correct dimensions to avoid browser resizing.
- Tip: Enable lazy loading for galleries to speed up initial page load.
