The straight answer for 2026, Chicagoland pricing: $1,500 – $4,200 one-time for a site built to bring in shoots — not just to exist.
The low end covers a sharp, fast, professional site with the essentials done right. The high end adds the growth machinery — more pages targeting more searches, booking or ordering flows, automation. What moves the price is scope, not mystery.
1. portfolio galleries by shoot type — weddings and brands buy differently
2. package pricing with visible starting points
3. inquiry form with date-availability check
Run the math the way a finance guy does: your average shoot is worth about $950. At the middle of the range, this website pays for itself with roughly 3 new shoots — and then it keeps working every month after.
Every business is different — the free calculator gives you a real range for your exact scope, no email required.
