Aerial Photography Louisville: a photography website that lets the work speak first.
Aerial Photography Louisville is my own drone photography company, flying Kentucky and Southern Indiana since 2014. In September 2026 I rebuilt its website from the ground up around the photographs and video, with clear service pages, a deep portfolio, long-form project stories and a quote request that is never more than one tap away. Same person on the controls, behind the camera and in the code.

Photography-led website rebuild: services, portfolio, project stories and a quote path
WordPress on Kadence, rebuilt and relaunched September 28, 2026
Make the work the centerpiece. Then make the next step obvious.
A drone photography business is judged in the first screen. If the opening image is ordinary, nothing after it matters. So the rebuild starts with real aerial footage at full width, a bold condensed headline and two clear choices: request a quote, or see real projects.
Behind that first screen the job is organization. Construction progress photography and video, drone mapping, real estate, commercial and industrial work each have a page that explains the coverage in plain language and leads into examples of it. The portfolio and the project stories give a buyer more to examine than a gallery thumbnail.
Blue accents, condensed headings and dark overlays carry the same visual language from the homepage to the last contact field, so the site feels like one body of work rather than a stack of templates.
Exact screens, not mockups.
Direct browser captures of the live site at 1440 pixels. Nothing redrawn, nothing staged.
The work, piece by piece.
A cinematic first screen
Full-width aerial video with a pause control, the FAA-licensed and insured credentials, the live Google rating and two direct calls to action.
Services that lead into proof
Construction progress photography and video, drone mapping, real estate, commercial and industrial pages, each linked to the projects that show it.
A portfolio with depth
Stories from the Field: featured projects with dates and context, organized so a buyer finds their industry quickly.
Project stories with room to breathe
Long-form articles like the VA Medical Center story, with mapping imagery, a dated narrative and a contents rail.
A quote form that asks the right questions
Conditional fields for the kind of coverage, the best way to reply and how the visitor found the business.
Built for the phone in the truck
A compact mobile header and a persistent Call, Text and Quote bar on every page.
Built for every screen it will meet.
pages and posts rebuilt, crawled with zero broken links

A website that presents the work at scale, and a clear route to a conversation.
Aerial Photography Louisville now opens with the work, explains every service in plain language, backs each one with real projects and keeps the quote request one tap away on a phone. It is also where I test ideas before they reach client sites: layouts, video headers, schema and lead tracking are proven here first.
This page describes the website and the work behind it. It does not claim traffic, ranking or lead figures from the rebuild.
The photographer and the web designer are the same person.
Which is why the site reads the way a buyer thinks: see the work, understand the service, ask for a quote.
Five decisions that shaped the site.
Nine ways to see a project from above.
The homepage lays the services out as large photo cards: construction progress photography, construction progress video, drone mapping and the rest. Each card is a door into a page that explains what is captured, how often and what gets delivered.
Construction progress photography, the work that matters most to contractors, has its own page instead of being one bullet among many.
Stories from the field, not a wall of thumbnails.
The portfolio leads with featured projects: a hospital mapped month by month, a highway interchange, a working quarry, an industrial facility. Each card carries a date and a short line of context, and each one opens a fuller story.
A visitor who wants to browse can keep going. A visitor who wants proof for their own kind of job can find it in a minute.
Twenty-seven maps, one frame.
The Louisville VA Medical Center story follows the build for Walsh Construction from a graded site to a finished hospital campus. Every monthly orthomosaic is lined up in the same frame, so a visitor can press play and watch two years go by, or drag to any month.
It turns recurring documentation from a sentence into something a buyer can see for themselves, with a contents rail and project facts beside the article.
One page for the buyers who book every month.
Construction progress photography and video were merged into a single strong page for contractors, developers and owners: what a monthly flight covers, why the angles repeat visit to visit, and a gallery of Kentucky and Southern Indiana builds.
The same construction work also has its own focused brand: Arrow Aerial, built for commercial buyers across the region.
Tell me what you need, in the order I need it.
The quote form asks for the best way to reply, then which services are involved, then the details that change a price. Every drone flight is FAA Part 107 licensed and insured, and the page says so beside the form.
On a phone the Call, Text and Quote bar stays on screen, because many of these requests start in a truck at the edge of a job site.
The same work, in a hand.
Every page was checked at 390 and 1440 pixels before launch: no broken links, every media file answering, and no accessibility violations flagged by the automated scan.
What this project used.
Custom WordPress website design
The build behind the rebuild: Kadence, hand-tuned blocks, video headers and a form with conditional logic.
Search engine optimization
Service and FAQ structured data, clean titles and descriptions, and project stories that answer what buyers search for.
Google Ads management
Quote requests set up as conversions, so paid clicks can be measured against real inquiries.
Built in Louisville, by the person who flies it.
Shaun Wilson Designs is a Louisville web design studio. Aerial Photography Louisville is the clearest example of how I work: the photography, the video, the website and the search work all come from one person. If you run a drone or aerial photography business yourself, see drone business website design. See more website design examples. Every screenshot on this page is a direct capture of the live site. The device scene at the top is a presentation setting built around the real homepage capture.

One conversation, one builder, a clear next step. The person you brief is the person who does the work.
