A photographer’s website should help the right clients book quickly: a focused portfolio of 20 to 40 best images per service, full stories for key shoots, clear packages or starting prices, a fast enquiry form with date and type of shoot, and reviews. Speed matters as much as beauty; heavy galleries lose mobile visitors. Show the work you want more of.
- Curate: fewer, better images per category.
- Show full stories for weddings and events.
- Packages or starting prices filter enquiries.
- Enquiry form with date, location and type.
- Fast, compressed galleries for mobile.

| About | Your photo, style, how you work |

Which photographers get booked online?
Picture two wedding photographers in Dhaka with similar talent. One site shows 300 mixed images and “contact for prices”. The other shows 30 stunning frames, two full wedding stories, three packages from a clear starting price, and an enquiry form asking for the date. Couples book the second because they can decide quickly.
How do you keep it fast?
Export images at around 2,000 pixels, compress, lazy-load galleries and avoid full-screen sliders of 20 images. See reducing image size and portfolio galleries in Elementor. For SEO, add location and service words to titles and alt text, such as “wedding photographer in Dhaka”.
