A photographer’s Portfolio on the Web

For a photographer, there’s nothing like a personal space on the web that reflects your identity: a web site that truly represents your body of work. Without that you’re sacrificing on your prospective business.

Many photographers have been losing out on the web as a medium for marketing themselves to help endorse their profession. The web has remained overlooked or underutilized a wonderful medium perfectly suited to sell their craft.

Having a presence, on the web is ideally suited to creative professionals for who costly marketing routines don’t appeal to. It’s is long past the days, back in time, where having and maintaining a professional portfolio site took as much as web design know-how and spare time. Times are simpler now.

WordPress has grown and gone leaps ahead from the ‘free blogging software’ tag. WordPress is the best Content Management System (shameless plug: we can’t overstate this, but we love WordPress) that will help you, the photographer publish photographs to the web and make minor text changes without hiring a web designer and you don’t have to learn to code HTML/CSS or any other Web design language.

WordPress happens to be an incomparable host for user-friendliness in maintaining portfolios. And the community of users in support forums has been growing ever since. Almost on zero-maintenance, you can focus on your more important things concerning your work.

Creating and hosting your personal portfolio

The starting point is where you:

1. You get a domain name that defines you, most fittingly, ‘yourname.com’.
2. Install the latest version of WordPress from our backend.
3. Select the theme from our collection that appropriately represents your portfolio. That will change the look of your whole WordPress-powered site, creating a stylish, professional portfolio. Just install, activate, add content and proceed to upload your portfolio images.

Using the theme that we provide for free or choosing from countless free themes you will be up and running in no time, pushing your work online for the greater benefits. Here is a list of some free photoblog themes for wordpress.

There are huge possibilities to what you can do through your site; you can:

• Offer an elegant, lively portfolio.
• Sell prints and stock images online.

People will be able to follow your work through your website and put in their feedback as well.
The web necessitates continuing attention, updates and so, fresh content, adding new portfolio items, events and promotions will help your stay on top of the crowd, and reflect your evolution as a photographer.

We started making websites back in 2004 and have been making clean, amazing websites since.

We’re frank. Our wordpress hosting plans are shared hosting services that can easily handle what a basic blog needs. The price is just $3.75 (Around 170 Rupees) per month per website. We’ll never oversell our space or server resources. There are some other players who advertise hosting for $2/month (INR 99 per month) but will have clauses like a 3 year contract.

If at any point of time, your newly formed blog gets hyper-famous, starts getting views like youtube, and our server cant handle it, we’ll help you out to move to your own VPS/Dedicated server of any amazing webhosts out there.
