Portfolio website for photographers
Show your work at its own address, photographs first, with your words around them. Build it from pictures you have already uploaded, choose a template, and every enquiry it brings comes straight to you.
No card, and the Free plan does not expire.
Photographs first
Your portfolio opens on a photograph, full width, with your name and one line about what you shoot. Below it comes the work: a wall of your pictures in a masonry, justified, square or editorial layout, or the one Aurant picks for your photographs, with tight, regular or airy spacing. Films sit beside the photographs.
It is made from the files you already have: pick photographs you have already uploaded to Aurant, from your projects or your uploads, or add new ones.
8 templates, then your own touch
Start from one of 8 templates, from bright and quiet to dark and cinematic. Each one sets the colours, the type, the opening photograph and the photo wall together, and every template is included on every plan, Free too. Open a template as a full sample site to see one before you start.
Then adjust what you like: a light, warm, dark or cinematic theme, the type pairing, an accent colour, the shape of the buttons, how the opening photograph is laid out and which part of it always stays in view. Changing template later keeps your words, headings and sections. Your logo sits in the top bar, and the brand kit you use for your client galleries dresses the portfolio too, so the two look like one studio.
Sections in the order you want
- Services. What you offer, each with an icon.
- Work. The photo wall.
- About. Your story, in your words.
- Reviews. Reviews your clients left through Aurant and agreed to publish, once you approve them.
- Contact. It always closes the page, with your enquiry button and your social links.
Move the other sections up or down, hide the ones you don't need, and rewrite every heading and the main button's label. It is one page, made to read as well on a phone as on a large screen.
Enquiries come straight to you
Every portfolio has an enquiry button that opens a short form: name, email, phone, the kind of project, budget, timeline and a message. You receive each enquiry by email and as a notification in Aurant, and it arrives as a new card in your Studio pipeline, ready to follow up.
If you take bookings online, a Book a session button sits beside it and opens your booking page. See contracts and booking for what happens next.
Your own domain, from Pro
Without a domain of your own, the portfolio's address is on aurant.io, under /portfolios/ and its name. On Pro you can connect 1 custom domain, and on Ultimate up to 5: a subdomain such as photos.yourstudio.com, or the domain itself. You show the domain is yours with one DNS record and point it to Aurant with another; HTTPS is set up for you.
Your client galleries are delivered at the same address, and search engines and link previews show your domain rather than Aurant's.
Ready to be found and shared
Once your portfolio has work in it, it is listed for search engines, with structured data that describes your studio and, when you have reviews, your rating. Paste its link into WhatsApp, iMessage or an email and the preview shows your cover photograph.
