Let your portfolio do the booking.
Couples and clients pick photographers based on how the photos look on screen. We build a fast, beautiful portfolio site that turns browsers into bookings — free to build, $100/month to host.
Instagram is rented land. A site you own is where serious clients book — and where your portfolio loads in full resolution on the device they're searching from. Without one, you're losing to photographers whose work is no better.
Everything your photographer website needs to win customers.
Every Lobus site is built from scratch around your business — no templates, no page builders, no shortcuts.
Custom design — no templates
Your photographer website is designed around your services, your voice, and the customers you want to attract. Nothing generic.
Mobile-first and fast
Most photographer searches happen on phones. Your site loads in under two seconds and looks sharp on every screen size.
Lead-generating contact forms
Quote request and contact forms convert visitors into paying customers — even while you're out on a job. Every form submission goes straight to your inbox.
Local SEO foundation
On-page SEO, structured data markup, and Google Business Profile integration so local customers searching for photographers find you — not your competitor.
SSL, hosting & daily backups
Fast global hosting, HTTPS encryption, and automatic daily backups included. 99.9% uptime. No surprise renewal fees.
Ongoing content updates
Need to add a service, change your phone number, or update your pricing? Email us and it's done. Updates are included — no hourly billing.

One price. Everything included.
Most agencies charge thousands to build, then hundreds to host. We flipped the model. Build is on us. You only pay to keep the lights on.
We only make money if your site keeps serving you. That keeps us accountable — and saves you the upfront hit that kills most small business websites before they launch.

The questions we get asked most.
Will my photos load fast and look sharp?+
Yes — we optimize for fast load times on every device while preserving photo quality. Slow portfolios lose clients before they ever fill out a contact form.
Can I have separate galleries by category?+
Of course. Weddings, portraits, brand, real estate — we set up clear galleries so each potential client sees the work that matters to them.
How much does a photography website cost?+
With Lobus, $0 upfront and $100/month flat. A freelancer charges $800–$3,500 to build. Squarespace or Format cost $15–$25/month but require you to design and manage the portfolio yourself — and they all look like templates.
What should a photographer's website include?+
A portfolio organized by shoot type, your packages and pricing, a contact or booking form, client testimonials, and your bio. We add local SEO so couples and clients searching for photographers in your area find you before your competitors.
What's the catch? Why is the build free?+
There isn't one. Most service businesses can't justify a $3,000 upfront website, so they end up with nothing — or a DIY page that costs them customers. We'd rather build for free, host you for a fair monthly fee, and earn that fee every month by keeping your site running well.
What happens if I cancel?+
You can cancel any time, no fees. We'll take the site offline, and if you want to take the code with you to host elsewhere, we'll hand it over.
Do I own my domain?+
Yes — always. The domain is registered in your name. If you don't have one yet, we'll help you pick and register one.
How long does it take to launch?+
Most sites are ready to review in about a week from when we get your info. Once you approve, we launch within a day or two.
Is Lobus better than Wix or Squarespace for a service business?+
For most service businesses, yes. Wix and Squarespace give you a template and hand you the tools — you still have to design it, write the copy, set up SEO, and update it yourself. Lobus does all of that for you. The monthly cost is similar, but you get a custom-built site, local SEO, and ongoing updates included.
Do I need to know anything about websites to work with Lobus?+
Nothing at all. You tell us about your business — what you do, where you work, any photos you have — and we handle everything else. Design, development, SEO, hosting, and updates are all on us.
