7 Things Your Website Must Include

 

The #1 problem our readers and clients deal with is Information Overload.

Information can be a good thing, but too much information can leave you paralyzed.

If you don’t know where to start or what to do, because you have too much information and too many options, this post should help you clear the clutter and get started right away.

The very first thing you need for your photography business is your own portfolio website.

Your portfolio website should represent you, be a sample of your work and give clients a way to contact you.

But one of the biggest mistakes newbie photographers make is they throw up a portfolio website and think clients will just rush right over.

That’s not how it works.

Once your portfolio website is set up correctly, you have to market it. You have to get out there, get your name out and find clients…

Don’t worry, we’re going to talk more about this later, but today let’s talk about making an effective web design portfolio website.

What should be included?

We’ll there are 7 things your website must include:

  1. Your Logo – not clip-art or a fancy script, but an actual, professional logo.
  2. A Tagline – Taglines should be short, relevant and help your visitors quickly realize what you have to offer and what makes you unique.
  3. Samples Of Your Work – Most potential clients will want to see photographs you’ve taken before they hire you. (If you’re just getting started and don’t have any samples, don’t worry. I’ll tell you what to do in just a minute.)
  4. Your Services – Don’t make anyone guess what you do. Make sure you’re specific about what services you offer.
  5. An About Page – This page gives your visitors and potential clients a look at the real you. People want to do business with people. So let them get to know you before they hire you
  6. A Contact Page – This page is one of the most important pages on your website because, if you leave this out, no one will know how to contact you to hire you. Also, don’t forget to include all the ways you wish to be contacted, such as phone, email address, instant messenger, etc.
  7. Testimonials – This is a great way to add credibility and show you’ve done a good job for other clients.

So there you have it – the 7 things you must include on your portfolio website to get clients.

But what if you have samples of your work and testimonials but don’t know who to create your website?

Don’t worry, you can get your customized website that will show case you and your work.

And, by the time you get your photographs and testimonials, you’ll have a portfolio website. Then I’ll show you how to market it!
