Websites for photographers & creatives

Websites that look beautiful and get found.

Custom Squarespace websites for photographers, artists and creative businesses, built with full technical SEO, schema markup and AI search optimisation by a photographer who understands your work.

  • Squarespace specialists
  • SEO + schema included
  • From $3,500

What's included in every website

Most web designers include only basic SEO: page titles and a sitemap. Every CapturEDU website includes full technical SEO as standard, and our higher tiers add a complete structured data graph and AI search optimisation so Google and AI assistants understand exactly who you are and what you offer.

You get a site that you can still edit yourself, built by a working photographer and gallery director who knows how creative work should be shown.

Website FAQ

Websites, explained.

How much does a photography website cost in Australia?
Template Squarespace set-ups typically cost $2,000–$6,000 and custom builds $4,000–$12,000 or more. CapturEDU websites range from $3,500 for a refresh of an existing site to $9,500 for a custom-coded Signature site with full SEO and AI search optimisation.
What is AI search optimisation?
It means structuring your site so AI assistants and Google's AI Overviews can understand and cite it: clear answer-first copy, consistent facts about who you are, FAQ content and a complete schema (structured data) graph.
Which platform do you build on?
Squarespace 7.1, with custom code blocks for layouts and structured data, so you can still edit your content yourself.
Do you write the copy?
Signature and Gallery & Collector packages include copywriting for your core pages. Other packages can add copywriting.
Can you photograph my business too?
Yes. Gallery & Collector includes a half-day shoot, and photography can be added to any package.
