Lighthouse SEO
out of the box

Under the hood

A gallery-first architecture — and an image pipeline you don't have to think about.

Every template ships with the same engine: a gallery-first layout that loads the hero image first and lazy-loads the rest, plus a RAW-to-Web pipeline that takes the folder off your card and hands back optimized JPEGs, AVIF and WebP variants before you've finished your coffee.

The templates, in their own words.

Wedding photograph anchoring a wedding photographer's testimonial

"We migrated from a self-hosted WordPress site on a Sunday and had a booking come in on Monday morning. The Cascade template was already laid out the way we wanted to present weddings — we barely changed the order of the sections."

Commercial product photograph anchoring a commercial photographer's testimonial

"I'm a commercial photographer — my old Squarespace site scored 54 on Lighthouse and my portfolio felt heavy. Foundry gave me a gallery-first grid that loads instantly, and the print-fulfillment integration means my clients can order prints straight off the gallery without me touching a thing."

Commercial studio · 11-person team Foundry template · Lighthouse jumped from 54 to 99
Workshop photograph anchoring an educator photographer's testimonial

"I run two online workshops a year and the Apprentice template has a course checkout already wired in. I used to spend a weekend fighting plugins; now I write the lesson pages and the rest of the site just handles itself."

A short note on who designs these

Built by people who shoot what you shoot.

PhotoWebs Studio was founded in 2017 in Portland by three photographers and two engineers who were tired of renting space on platforms that didn't understand what a photographer's website actually needed to do. Today the company is 38 people, six of them full-time photographers on staff — a wedding shooter, two commercial photographers, a portrait specialist, a travel photographer, and a former educator. Every template in this library was laid out by one of them, then stress-tested on their own shoots before it shipped to you.

That's why Cascade reads as a wedding site the moment you open it, and why Planbook is calibrated for the way architectural photographers sequence their work. It's not a style guide — it's a set of templates built by people who have actually had to deliver that genre to a client on a deadline.
