It seems a shame to keep taking amazing photos that no one else sees. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re ready to share your talent with the world by starting a photography website. But you don\u2019t know the first thing about creating a new website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never fear, there\u2019s an easy option.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> No matter your skill level, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/build-website-one-week-plan\/\">build your own website<\/a> using a website builder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/website-builder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20109\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/create-your-website.png\" alt=\"build your website\" width=\"470\" height=\"60\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/create-your-website.png 470w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/create-your-website-300x38.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1><b>Why You Should Use a Website Builder for Your Photography Website<\/b><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For anyone that wants a new website but doesn\u2019t know where to start, a website builder is the solution to your problem. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/why-use-website-builder\/\">Using a website builder<\/a> to create your new photography website comes with some key benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>1. It\u2019s easy.<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building a website from scratch used to be a lot of work. You would have to learn to code, and laboriously get the coding right for each element of each page. Newbie website creators today are lucky not to have to worry about all that. You don\u2019t have to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/learn-code-places\/\">learn to code<\/a> at all, and you don\u2019t even have to build your website from scratch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Website builders let you start from a template, so all you have to do is change out the colors, provide your own original images and words, and move things around on the page to make it your own. A good website builder will be intuitive enough that anyone can figure it out without having to spend much time at all learning the ropes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2. It\u2019s fast.<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because you\u2019re not starting from scratch and website builders are so easy to use, you can get a website ready and up fast. If your needs are fairly simple, your website can be ready within an hour. But even more complicated photography websites with a lot of pages or elements can be finished within a matter of hours or days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3. It\u2019s affordable.<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/website-builder-vs-web-designer\/\">Hiring a designer<\/a> can cost hundreds of dollars, but a website builder will only set you back somewhere in the range of $4-$50 a month. And for most basic photography websites, you should be good sticking with the low end of that range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>4. You can still take advantage of professional designs.<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good website builder companies hire skilled professional designers who are knowledgeable about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/web-design-best-practices-guide\/\">website design best practices<\/a> to create the templates they provide. That means by using one of their templates, you get to benefit from a designer\u2019s expertise without the expense required to hire them directly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21161\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-10-at-1.27.51-PM-1024x607.png\" alt=\"photography website template from hostgator website builder\" width=\"640\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-10-at-1.27.51-PM-1024x607.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-10-at-1.27.51-PM-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-10-at-1.27.51-PM-768x455.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-10-at-1.27.51-PM.png 1822w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t know much about how to create a website that\u2019s intuitive and provides a good user experience (UX), you don\u2019t have to spend a lot of time learning. You can trust that you\u2019re starting with a design made by someone who already did that work. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>5. You can create a mobile-friendly website.<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So many people do much of their web browsing on their phones now that online mobile use has surpassed desktop. For your photography website to be accessible to most of your potential visitors, it has to work as well on mobile as it does on a big screen. A good website builder will make this part easy by providing options to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/how-make-website-mobile-friendly\/\">make your website mobile-friendly<\/a> or, even better, providing responsive templates so you start with a website structure that already looks great on mobile. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either way, you can create a website that provides accessibility to all of your visitors without having to figure out any additional complicated tech.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>8 Website Builder Features Photographers Should Look For<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your needs are unique   you won\u2019t have the same priorities as someone building an ecommerce website or a writing-focused blog. When looking for the best website builder to create a photography website specifically, there are a few main features to be on the lookout for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>1. Ease of use<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photography is your priority, not web design. You don\u2019t want to spend hours just figuring out how to use the website builder you choose. So go with a website builder known for being intuitive and easy to get started with. Drag-and-drop functionality is a good indicator that a website builder will be easy to use, and you can usually get a feel for how difficult a website builder will be to use by doing a quick demo or looking over some of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/support.hostgator.com\/articles\/hosting-guide\/website-builder\/hostgator-website-builder-tutorials\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">available tutorials<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2. Affordability<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most website builders worth considering will come at a cost, but there are plenty of options that provide the main functionality you need for a photography website without charging much. Chances are, you have a limited amount that you\u2019re willing or able to spend on creating your website, so make sure you find a website builder that falls within your budget. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider the features and services that come included in the cost of your website builder, as a website builder plan that looks more expensive on its face than another one could actually save you money if it means not having to pay for additional services you need. For example, all <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/website-builder\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gator website builder plans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> come with web hosting included-a service that all websites require and you\u2019ll have to pay extra for with many website builders. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3. Photography templates<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We already discussed how important<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/hostgator-website-builder-themes-templates\/\"> templates<\/a> can be to making the website creation process easier. You don\u2019t just want template options that are created by skilled designers (although you definitely want that!), you also want a website builder that specifically offers templates designed to showcase photography. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you can choose a template that\u2019s designed to accomplish the main function of your website-in this case, sharing photographs-you won\u2019t need to make as many changes to make the design work for you. Don\u2019t just consider whether a website builder offers templates, pay attention to the types of templates they provide and how relevant they are to your needs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>4. Enough bandwidth<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-resolution photographs take up space and they can slow down how fast a web page loads if it doesn\u2019t offer high enough bandwidth. All website builder plans will offer some bandwidth, but if you\u2019ll have a lot of high-resolution photographs on your website, you want make sure the plan you choose will include enough bandwidth for your website to work properly and your pages to load quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here are some more tips for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/how-to-optimize-images-for-your-website\/\">optimizing your photos for fast-loading<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>5. SEO features<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want people to actually find your website and see your photographs (beyond your friends and family), then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/seo-for-beginners-ebook\/\">search engine optimization (SEO)<\/a> is one of the most important tactics to use for greater visibility. Many website builders provide SEO features that make it easier to do basic on-site optimization like customizing your URLs, title tags, and image alt tags.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be clear, good SEO requires more than just on-site optimization. But it\u2019s an important first step and something that a website builder that provides proper SEO features can make a lot easier. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>6. Social sharing features<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another important tool for website visibility is social media. Website builders sometimes offer social sharing features that both make it easier for you to share links to your newly published photos on your own social media channels, and to encourage your visitors to share photos they like on their profiles. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good social sharing features mean you can bring your photos to more people with a simple click of a button. That makes your promotion efforts just that much easier. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>7. Educational resources<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you choose a website builder that\u2019s extremely easy to use, you want to make sure you can learn about all the different features so you can get the most out of it. Before you make your choice, look into what educational resources the website builder provides to help you learn the product. They should offer articles, tutorials, or videos to walk you through how to use the website builder and the different things you can do with it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>8. Customer service<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With even the best tech products, you\u2019ll occasionally hit up against issues you need help with. Any good website builder-and especially any that comes at a cost-should offer customer service support. Look for a website builder that provides 24\/7 customer support<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">so you know you\u2019ll always get help at the moment you need it. And make sure they allow you to get in touch using the form of the contact you prefer, whether that\u2019s email, chat, or phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Find the Best Website Builder for Your New Photography Website<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Gator website builder satisfies every suggestion on this list <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> comes with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/web-hosting\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">website hosting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from one of the most reputable hosting brands available.
