Photography
A website for a photographer
The brief for a photographer: galleries that load fast, one page per kind of work, what a session is like, and the way to book one.
In short
For a photographer working for private clients and companies. Gets your assistant to confirm consent for every face, then build one fast gallery per kind of work with how a session goes, prices if you want them, and a booking page. Published with SayLive.
What this prompt asks your assistant to build
Written as you would say it. Paste it as is, then answer what your assistant asks.
I want a website for my photography business, built in this conversation and published with SayLive. I shoot for private clients and for companies, and the work has to be seen before anyone reads a word. The site must show the right photographs to the right person, say what a session is like, and make booking one easy. Before writing. Look me up (my social accounts, Google, the places my work was published), tell me what you found, and ask me one question at a time for the rest: which photographs I may show and with whose written consent, the kinds of work I want more of, whether I show prices or starting prices, how and when I deliver, deposit and cancellation terms. Never place a portrait or a wedding photograph without confirming consent. Then propose the site plan, page by page, with what each page says and where it links. I validate, then you write. The pages. Home opening on the work, one line on who I am, one call to action. One gallery per kind of work (weddings, portraits, corporate, events, products): twelve to twenty strong photographs, how a session goes, what the client receives and when, the starting price if I show one. About me: a portrait, how I work, the area I cover, the gear in one line at most. Prices or packages, if I want that page. Booking: dates, kind of work, a form, what happens next. And an FAQ: how far in advance, what if it rains, do I get the raw files, how many photos. The tone. In the first person, warm, confident, short. The photographs do the talking; the text answers practical questions. So people find me. Write what people type: wedding photographer and the region, corporate portrait photographer and the city, product photographer. One title and description per page, one H1 per gallery named after the kind of work and the place, the area I cover in the footer of every page. Technically. A static site where the galleries load fast: WebP, resized to the display size, lazy-loaded below the first screen, no gallery heavier than it needs to be. Every photograph with an alt text that says what is on it. No third-party script, no cookie banner. The originals never go online, only web sizes. With SayLive. I upload my selection through the media library, gallery by gallery, in the order I want. When I say publish, publish and give me the address. I reread on my phone, you fix and republish; if a version is worse, we go back to the previous one. When I am happy, I connect my domain.
What to have at hand before you paste it
- Your business name, address, opening hours, phone and email.
- Five to ten photographs you own the rights to.
- Three concrete proofs: years in business, a certification, a number that means something.
- The written consent of the people shown, especially for weddings and portraits.
With SayLive, even better
What you get with SayLive on top
This prompt is enough: pasted into any assistant, it gets you a good site. Connected to SayLive, the same assistant works with what is held back here, with nothing to install:
- The SayLive skills, loaded by themselves: the research on your business before a line is written, the floor a page has to reach, the SEO plan with its queries and internal links, the structured data, and the critical review the assistant gives its own work before publishing. Included with every site.
- The Blueprint "Photographer": what a specialist of your trade knows and this prompt does not say. The questions to ask before the first line, the pages a site of this kind needs, what goes wrong in this trade, and the claims never to make unchecked. Bought once, for the site, 29.
- Alma, our designer agent: an art direction that holds from one conversation to the next, rather than your assistant's default style. Recruited once, 99.
- A human, if you want one: the Boost, 499 per expert day, when you would rather have a person take the site in hand.
And with every published site: 150 publications, 50 MB of media, 50 form messages, 50 review tickets, your own domain connected, and the previous version back in one sentence.
Frequently asked questions
Should a photographer show prices?
A starting price per kind of work filters inquiries without scaring anyone; bespoke commissions can stay on quote. The prompt lets you decide and tells your assistant to ask.
How many photographs per gallery?
Twelve to twenty strong ones, optimised for the web. The media library takes your originals and the site serves them light; a slow gallery loses the visitor before the second image.
Can I show clients' faces?
With their written consent, which the prompt asks your assistant to confirm before placing any portrait or wedding photograph.
