How Much Does a Wedding Photographer Website Cost in 2026?

If you are a wedding photographer looking to invest in a professional website, you are probably wondering what you should expect to pay. Website costs can vary dramatically, from free DIY templates to £10,000+ custom builds.

In the UK, custom website design for wedding photographers typically ranges from £1,500 to £5,000, with most projects landing between £2,000 and £3,500.

Number of Pages

A simple 3-5 page website costs less than a 10+ page site with galleries, blog integration, and multiple portfolio sections. More pages means more design work, more content to write, and more time to build.

Custom Design vs Templates

Template customisation is cheaper but limits your brand expression. Fully custom design costs more but creates a unique experience that helps you stand out from other photographers in your area.

Copywriting

Some designers include UX copywriting, while others expect you to provide all the text. Professional copy that converts visitors into enquiries is worth the investment. Words matter as much as images.

Platform Choice

Squarespace and Showit have different pricing structures. Factor in ongoing hosting costs (typically £12-30 per month) alongside the design investment. Some platforms require more customisation than others.

At Ovia Design, full website projects start at £2,000, with most landing between £2,500-£5,000 depending on scope. This includes:

Consider this: if your current website converts 1% of visitors to enquiries, and a professional website improves that to 3%, you have potentially tripled your leads. For a wedding photographer booking £2,000+ weddings, the ROI becomes clear quickly.

A website is not a cost. It is an investment in your business.
