Most photography websites are beautiful and never book. Galleries without structure, missing pricing, hidden booking CTAs, and zero story leave visitors admiring the work and contacting the next photographer. We will audit yours in 48 hours.
No call needed · Free audit · 48-hour previews · Fixed pricing
Quick answer: Onyxarro's free website audit for photographers covers wedding photographers, portrait and family photographers, commercial and brand photographers, editorial photographers, and multi-shooter studios. It includes three deliverables: a written audit ranking every issue costing you booking enquiries (mobile speed, image performance, tap-to-call placement, portfolio pages, gallery structure, package clarity, pricing clarity, booking flow, contact forms, lead generation, location and travel-area clarity, trust signals like real client reviews and testimonials, story and about-page depth), a redesigned homepage preview deployed at a public URL, and a recommended Onyxarro package fit. Existing client galleries (Pixieset, ShootProof, CloudSpot) stay untouched. All three arrive by email within 48 hours, free, no card, no calls. Honest framing only: outcomes vary by genre, season, and market. We do not promise specific booking volume, enquiry counts, or revenue. We do not invent reviews or 5-star ratings. Submit your portfolio URL on /audit; full service catalogue and pricing at /services; founder context at /about; concept demos at /concepts are concept projects, not paid client work; broader agency overview on the homepage.
Your portfolio should sell the experience, not just show images.
Full audit + redesigned homepage preview, delivered in two days.
Free, no calls, no obligation. Yours to keep even if you never hire us.
Beautiful images alone do not book clients. Visitors need to feel the experience, see the packages, and trust the human behind the camera. Most photographer sites under-sell the artist by hiding pricing, story, and the booking path.
Six checkpoints across portfolio, pricing, story, and booking.
Is work organised by genre or event type? Can a couple, a family, or a brand find their fit in one click?
Are starting prices visible? Are packages framed for the buyer, with what is included?
Where is the primary CTA? Does it survive scroll? Mobile-friendly?
Does the artist come through? Approach, style, what working with you actually feels like.
Named client words, ideally with their photo. Real reviews only, no invented quotes or fake star ratings.
Image weight, scroll smoothness, lightbox UX: galleries are mobile-first now.
A premium photography site sells the experience first, the work second. Story, packages, proof, and a booking path that feels effortless. That is the bar we build to.
Real work, built for photographers, by us. Yours to keep.
Where your site builds, or breaks, trust at first impression.
What a brand-new visitor sees, feels, and does in the first ten seconds.
Primary CTA placement, copy, frequency, and friction across the site.
A side-by-side benchmark against two direct competitors in your category.
A redesigned homepage preview, yours to keep, even if you never hire us.
Which Onyxarro package fits (Launch, Growth, or Studio) and what it would deliver.
Onyxarro does not promise specific booking volume, enquiry counts, or revenue. We never invent reviews or star ratings on your behalf. What we promise is honest, written work and a redesigned preview you can open and inspect.
This is a website design review. Booking outcomes depend on genre, season, market, pricing, and craft. We will name the friction; the lift is the photographer's to ship.
If we showcase quotes on a redesigned preview, they are placeholders until you supply real client testimonials. No invented reviews, no fake 5-star ratings, no stock client logos. Real client case studies will appear at /work as paid projects ship and clients approve publication.
No fake testimonials, no aggregated star ratings, no stock client logos. No guaranteed bookings, enquiry volume, or revenue claims. Strictly a website design review.
Yes. Photographer-template platforms look pretty but tend to be slow, and slow weighs on enquiries. A custom hand-coded portfolio loads faster, ranks better in our experience, and lets us design conversion pieces (booking flow, package framing, social proof) that templates do not allow. We are not anti-Squarespace, but you often outgrow it earlier than expected.
Better than on a template platform. We optimise every image with modern formats (AVIF / WebP) and lazy-load galleries so the gallery loads quickly even at full quality. Your work is the asset; we make sure it shows.
Yes. Your client galleries (Pixieset, ShootProof, CloudSpot) stay untouched. We design and link the booking-and-portfolio site that brings new clients in, and link out cleanly to whatever client-side gallery tool you use for delivery.
Yes. Free audit, free redesigned homepage preview, free conversion report, yours to keep. Some businesses who see the redesign decide to hire Onyxarro for the full build. That is the model: prove value first, then let the right clients move forward.
