Small touches clients love, like a due date planner for newborn photographers that suggests the best session dates.

Questions
Good to know.
Anything else? Just ask in your reply.
Are these real photographers?
No. The studios on this page are fictional, created to show our work, with licensed photos from Unsplash. Your concept and site use your own photos and details.
What if I don't like the concept?
Then you owe nothing. The concept is free, with no obligation. Tell us honestly what doesn't feel right and we'll change it, or simply leave it there.
Will my current site go offline during the move?
No. Your current site stays online until the new one is ready, and we handle the switch. There's nothing technical for you to do.
What happens to my domain and email?
Both stay exactly where they are. We only point your domain to the new site, and your email keeps working the whole time. If you don't have a domain yet, we help you register one in your name (usually US$10 to US$20 a year).
Can you move my blog posts?
Yes, all of them, however many you have. Old page addresses are redirected, so links already on Google keep working.
Can I update the site myself?
Yes. You get your own simple editor in the browser to write blog posts, swap gallery photos and change text. Changes are live within a minute or two.
What do I need to give you?
Your current website or Instagram, the photos you want to show, and a few lines about your sessions. We write and arrange the rest, and you can change any wording.
How long does it take?
The free concept takes a few days. Once you've approved the design, your new website is ready within one week.
