Can I add a blog to share photography tips?
Yes, Dorik includes a built-in blogging platform. Create posts about photography techniques, behind-the-scenes content, or recent sessions. Add categories to organize content by topic, schedule posts to publish automatically, and optimize each post with SEO settings to attract organic traffic from potential clients searching for photography advice.
Do I need coding knowledge to customize this template?
No coding required. Modify colors, fonts, layouts, and content through Dorik's visual drag-and-drop editor. Click elements to edit text, upload your own images, adjust spacing, and rearrange sections. For photographers wanting advanced customization, custom CSS injection is available, but the visual editor handles all standard customization needs.
How do I handle client inquiries and bookings?
Use the included contact form to collect client information, preferred dates, and photography service interests. Form submissions arrive in your email, allowing you to respond with availability and next steps. Integrate with email marketing platforms to nurture leads, or add scheduling tools through Dorik's integrations for automated booking management.
Can I password-protect client galleries?
Yes, create password-protected pages to share private galleries with clients after their sessions. Each client receives a unique password to access only their images, keeping work organized and private. This feature is particularly valuable for wedding photographers delivering images or family photographers sharing proofing galleries before final selections.
Are there limits on image uploads?
Dorik provides unlimited storage and bandwidth, so upload as many high-resolution images as needed without worrying about storage caps or overage fees. Display your full portfolio, create multiple galleries by photography type, and add new work continuously without technical constraints or additional costs.
Can I sell prints or digital downloads?
Yes, integrate payment processing through Stripe, PayPal, or Gumroad to sell prints, digital downloads, or photography packages directly from your website. There are zero platform transaction fees on subscription payments, so you keep your full revenue when clients purchase through your site.
How does SEO work for photography websites?
Customize meta titles and descriptions for each page, add alt text to images describing your photography, and use the automatic sitemap generation to help search engines find your content. The template is performance-optimized with fast loading speeds and mobile responsiveness—both critical factors for ranking in local photography searches.
Can I connect my social media accounts?
Yes, add social media icons linking to your Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, or other platforms where you share photography. These links help potential clients explore more of your work and follow you for updates on recent sessions, availability, and photography tips you share across channels.
How do I update pricing as my services change?
Edit the pricing tables section directly through the visual editor. Update package names, adjust prices, modify what's included, and add or remove tiers as your business evolves. Changes take effect immediately, ensuring clients always see current offerings and accurate investment information when considering your services.
