Website design for photographers and videographers
Your portfolio is the sale. It just has to load before the client loses interest.

Photography clients decide with their eyes in about fifteen seconds. The problem is that photographers, more than anyone, build sites so heavy with full-resolution images that nobody on Ugandan mobile data ever sees them. A beautiful gallery that takes twenty seconds to appear has already lost.
We build photography sites where images are properly compressed and loaded as you scroll, organised by the kind of job clients are actually booking - wedding, introduction, corporate, product, events.
Clients booking a photographer are quietly worried about one thing above all: when they will actually get the pictures. Almost everyone has a friend still waiting for wedding photographs a year later. Stating your turnaround clearly, how many edited images are included, how they are delivered and how long the gallery stays available removes the anxiety and, incidentally, protects you from clients who expect everything by Monday.
Weddings are what photographers advertise and organisations are what pay them steadily. NGOs need documentation for reports and donor material, companies need staff portraits and event coverage, schools need graduations and prospectus pictures, hotels and restaurants need their rooms and food shot properly. That work is booked by email, paid by invoice and repeats every year. Give it a page with a day rate or a half-day rate, what the deliverable is, how many edited images, and how quickly they arrive. Add your registered name and TIN so a finance office can process you without a phone call.
The mistake we see most often
The second problem is packages. Couples planning a wedding are budgeting, and a photographer with no visible starting price gets skipped for one who published theirs. You do not have to list everything - one honest "from" figure per category is enough.
What a photographers and videographer website needs
- Galleries by category, compressed and lazy-loaded so they open fast
- Package prices, at least a "from" figure per shoot type
- What is delivered: number of edited images, albums, turnaround time
- A booking enquiry that asks the date first
- Client delivery - how galleries are shared after a shoot
- Your equipment and team for corporate clients who ask
Included as standard
Every site we build leaves our hands with all of this. None of it is an extra.
Yours to edit
A login, a training session and a recording. Change prices and photos yourself, whenever you like.
Built for phones first
Nearly all your visitors will arrive on a phone, often on mobile data. That is where we design and where we test.
WhatsApp and call on every page
A tap to call and a tap to chat, always visible. Most Ugandan enquiries arrive this way, not through forms.
What it costs
A photographers and videographers website usually lands in the Starter package, from UGX 350,000. Half to start, half at launch.
Domain and hosting are separate and paid to the hosting company - roughly UGX 150,000 to 300,000 for the first year, registered in your name.
Questions from photographers and videographers
Will a gallery-heavy site be slow?
Not if it is built properly. We compress every image, serve the right size for the device and load images as the visitor scrolls. The gallery looks full quality and still opens in about two seconds on mobile data.
Should I publish wedding prices?
A from-price per package. Couples in Uganda are working to a budget and will not enquire blind. You will get fewer enquiries and far more of them will be real, which is the point.
How do I deliver photos to clients?
Not by uploading them to your own website, which fills your hosting and slows everything down. Use a delivery service or cloud folder and link it from a private page. Your site is the shop window, not the warehouse.
What should we promise about delivery of photographs?
A specific timeframe you can actually keep, and the numbers behind it. Say how many edited images are included, when previews arrive and when the full set does, in working days rather than vaguely. Explain how delivery works - an online gallery, a drive, prints - and how long a gallery stays live before it expires. State whether unedited files are provided, because clients ask and the answer is often no. Then honour it, and tell the client if anything slips. Late photographs are the single most common complaint in this trade, so a photographer who is simply reliable about dates gets recommended constantly.
Who owns the photographs, and can a client use them anywhere?
Say it in writing before the shoot, because this is where photographers lose money quietly. Under normal practice you hold the copyright in the images and the client gets a licence to use them. What matters is defining that licence plainly: which images, for how long, and for what - social media and a website is different from billboards, packaging or a national campaign, and commercial reuse is normally charged separately. Say whether you may use the images in your own portfolio, and get permission in writing for anything involving people, especially children or medical settings. Put the terms in the quotation. A one-paragraph agreement signed by WhatsApp prevents almost every argument this trade has.
