Photography websites: FAQ

What are photography websites built with?

Next.js is the most common platform here (4 of 14 sites), followed by Nuxt and WordPress. Sites without a recognisable platform are usually custom built.

Should a photography website have a light or dark design?

71% of the photography websites here open on a light background and 29% on a dark one. Both work: pick the one that suits your photography and brand, then use the other sparingly for contrast.

How were these photography websites chosen?

Each site comes from a design award gallery or a studio's published client work, was screenshotted from the live site, sorted into its niche and then checked by hand. Sites that are unfinished, parked or hidden behind popups are left out.

How much does a photography website cost?

It depends on scope: a site with a full brand identity, custom design and a CMS costs more than a template. For a realistic range for your business, try our free branding and website budget calculator, or see what's included in a Jeppesen brand and website project.
