Short answer
What does a photographer's website include, and what does it cost?
A brochure site with a portfolio, an about page and contact starts at ₺30,000 and goes live in about 3 days once the photos are chosen. A site with a page per type of shoot, client galleries and a blog runs from ₺50,000 and takes 1 week; selling prints or digital files falls in the e-commerce band, from ₺80,000.
Photographer, The search
Clients look at your style first, your calendar second.
People looking for a photographer type the kind of shoot and the city: 'wedding photographer Istanbul', 'newborn shoot Kadıköy', 'product photography studio'. On the page that opens, they see your style in the first ten seconds; if the light, colour and framing suit them, the next question is the date and the package.
So a portfolio is not one mixed gallery but pages split by type of shoot. A wedding couple sees only your weddings, a business client only your product and portrait work, and every page ends with a one-tap WhatsApp button to check a date.
Photographer, From the field
Big photos, small files.
A portfolio site has a built-in conflict: photos must look big but open within seconds on a phone. We prepare every frame in several sizes and send the size the screen will actually show; frames out of view load as the visitor scrolls. Your original file stays with you; the site holds only a copy large enough for the screen.
