"We were genuinely impressed by the Halfmill team. They understood the brief immediately, worked quickly, and delivered beautiful images that suited the Craftcorp website perfectly.

In the past, creating this kind of imagery would have meant spending thousands of dollars and a lot of time organising photoshoots, often with average results. This process was faster, easier, and produced a far better outcome.

The Halfmill team were skilled, professional, and easy to work with. We would not hesitate to use them again."

About

Good marketing shouldn't be reserved for big budgets.

Having run small businesses ourselves, we know how hard it is for local brands to access quality marketing. Professional product photography means booking studios, shipping product, and waiting weeks for proofs. A website rebuild can stretch into months. Most small businesses are priced out before they even start.

From AI-generated product photography to modern, high-performing websites, we create professional marketing assets that help businesses stand out without agency-sized budgets. Our goal is simple: deliver creative work that looks exceptional, works hard, and helps businesses grow.

Questions, answered

The usual ones,
asked and answered.

How long does it take?

Photography sets land in 3 to 5 days. New website builds typically run 1 to 2 weeks from brief to launch; rebuilds are usually a week or less. We give you a firm date with your quote and we don't miss it.

What do you need from us?

For photography: your product photos (phone shots are fine) and a brief covering what mood, what setting, what variations. For a website: your existing site (if any), brand assets, and a sense of what isn't working today. We do the rest.

What if we already have a website?

Yes to both. We regularly migrate sites off Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy and similar, keeping your domain, your SEO, and your email running without a gap.

How much does it cost?

Photography sets start from $300–$400. A new website typically lands between $600–$1,000. If you want both, our pack deal usually comes in under $1,000. Pricing varies depending on the scope of your project. Email us with a brief and we'll come back with a number within a day.

Do you do branding or social too?

Light brand work yes (palette, type, simple marks). For deep brand strategy or campaign work we'll happily refer you to specialists we trust. Photography you receive can absolutely be used on social.
