Photography Website Design for Adrian Harrison Photography, Sydney.

Overview

This photography website design project was for Adrian Harrison Photography, a Sydney studio that has shot photos and video for businesses since 2009. The studio has a 5.0 Google rating from 102 reviews. Its clients include McDonald's, Meriton, Dan Murphy's and Big W.

The studio wanted a website that matched the quality of its work. It also wanted more enquiries from businesses, not from weddings or events. We built a fast WordPress website around what buyers search for: one page per service, clear starting prices, live Google reviews and a short quote form.

About the client

Adrian Harrison Photography is based in Baulkham Hills, about 30 minutes from the Sydney CBD. Adrian and a small team shoot in the studio and on site across Greater Sydney, including the Hills District, Western Sydney, the Inner West, Parramatta and Penrith.

• In business since: 2009.
• Industries served: 72+.
• Repeat clients: more than 60%.
• Google rating: 5.0 from 102 reviews.
• Starting prices: studio product shoots from $350, headshots and on-site shoots from $750, and video from $950.

The challenge

Sydney has a lot of photographers. The studio competes with cheap freelancers, stock photos and AI images. Its buyers are busy marketing managers, assistants and business owners. They want a shoot that just works. The new website had to:

• Stand out from generalists. Show that the studio only does commercial work, with 15+ years and big brands behind it.
• Rank in local search. Win searches like "product photography Sydney" and "construction photography Sydney" for nine services across many suburbs.
• Show trust early. Put 100+ five-star Google reviews and client quotes in front of buyers.
• Qualify leads. Share starting prices and use a form that asks for company size and project details.
• Load fast. Keep pages quick on mobile, even with lots of photos.

What we built

We built a 20+ page photography business website. Every page leads to one simple quote flow.

• Home page: a proof bar under the hero (since 2009, 101+ reviews, 60%+ repeat clients, 72+ industries), service cards, an ideal-client section, testimonials and FAQs.
• Service landing pages: product, e-commerce, corporate headshots, architectural, construction, commercial, food, industrial and video production. Each page has clear copy, a portfolio gallery, a three-step "How it works" section, Sydney suburb lists, reviews, FAQs and a quote button.
• Pricing page: starting prices for each service and a built-in quote form.
• Quote and contact pages: a Gravity Forms enquiry that asks for name, email, mobile, company size and a project brief, with spam protection.
• Trust pages: the studio story and a full wall of Google reviews.
• Blog: SEO articles on pricing, how-tos and "best of" lists.

Key features

• Sticky header with a services menu, click-to-call number and an "Enquire about a shoot" button.
• Mobile slide-out menu.
• Live Google reviews (5.0 from 102) shown on every page.
• Lead form that qualifies by company size, with spam protection.
• Local SEO landing pages with service areas and suburb lists.
• Schema markup: Organization, ProfessionalService, Place, WebSite and Article.
• Call tracking, GA4, Google Ads conversions and Hotjar heatmaps.

Photography website design approach

The design lets the photos do the selling. A clean white layout and one bright accent colour point every page to the enquiry.

• Typography: Inter for all text, with dark headings and soft grey body copy.
• Colour: a white background with orange (#FE9500) saved for buttons and calls to action.
• Layout: wide photo-led sections, proof stats right under the hero and card grids for services.
• Copy: short, buyer-first problem statements, then the result.
• Conversion path: the same "Enquire about a shoot" button in the header, hero, middle and footer of every page.
• Trust signals: client logos, named testimonials and a Google review badge next to every form.

The result

The studio now has a website that brings in and tracks business leads:

• Ten service landing pages target high-intent Sydney searches.
• Reviews show on every page: a 5.0 Google rating from 102 reviews and 60%+ repeat clients.
• One clear enquiry path, with quote requests qualified by company size and project brief.
• Full tracking is in place: GA4, Google Ads conversions, call tracking and Hotjar.
• A growing blog targets long-tail searches about pricing and timelines.

Why this photography website works

Many photography websites are built like portfolios. They show great images but give buyers no clear next step. This site is built like a sales tool. Each page answers the buyer's main questions in order. What do you shoot? Who have you worked with? What does it cost? How do I book?

Service pages target the exact phrases people type into Google, such as "headshots Sydney" or "food photography Sydney". Suburb lists help the studio show up in nearby searches. Reviews, client logos and starting prices build trust before the buyer fills in the form. The form then asks for company size, so the studio can spot its best leads fast.

Tech stack

The site runs on WordPress. It uses a GeneratePress Premium child theme and GenerateBlocks Pro, with no heavy page builder. Gravity Forms and Zero Spam handle the forms. FlyingPress keeps pages and images fast. Rank Math handles SEO and schema. GA4, Google Tag Manager, Cloudflare Web Analytics, Google Ads call tracking and Hotjar track every lead.
