Web design for
photographers in Whitby.
37 photography studios in Whitby are listed on Google Maps. We requested all 32 of their websites directly: 1 did not load at all and 12 loaded but looked their age.
We did not sample: all 37 listings in Whitby were checked, and the 1 broken sites and 2 insecure ones are counted individually, not projected.
What they are built on
3 of them are on
a free builder.
Of the 32 photography studios in Whitby with a website, 11 are on WordPress (34%) and the rest are spread across 4 other platforms. 4 still carry a copyright line from 2000 or earlier, which tells you when someone last touched the page.
What actually breaks
No analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does
on 18 of them.
Out of 32 sites in Whitby, 18 have no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does and 14 have page title does not name the city they work in. We counted each fault separately, so a site with three of them appears in three rows below.
None of the 13 faults we counted in Whitby requires a rebuild on its own. They add up to one, though, when a site carries four or five of them at once.
Who you are up against
95 reviews
from the top five.
Reviews in Whitby cluster low and stretch high: the quiet quarter is under 3, the busy quarter is over 39, and one photographer sits at 419. 20 listings have fewer than ten, which usually means new or inactive.
Whitby holds 37 of the 779 photography studios we found across the GTA, which ranks it 8th among the 26 places we surveyed. Review counts are not comparable between trades, so none of this means anything outside photographers.
