QUICK TIPS

1. šŸš€ Stop selling photos. Sell the outcome.

Your clients don’t want ā€œbeautiful images.ā€

They want confidence, memories, growth, peace of mind.

And your website? It should sell that transformation — not just pixels.

Because a great photography website isn’t a gallery.

It’s a silent salesperson that books while you sleep.

If your homepage still talks about you instead of what changes for them, it’s time to shift your focus.

That’s how photographers rise above the pricing race.

What transformation are you really offering?

2. šŸŽØ ā€œI don’t want a text-heavy websiteā€ — good instinct.

This comes up a lot. And you’re not wrong.

But here’s the nuance most photographers miss: Less text doesn’t mean less clarity.

Colorful, visual sites still need:

  • Clear page hierarchy

  • Obvious next steps

  • Just enough words to remove doubt

What kills conversions isn’t text.

It’s unclear text.

I’ve seen stunning, minimal websites fail because visitors couldn’t answer one basic question fast enough: ā€œIs this for me?ā€

Design pulls people in. Structure keeps them there. Words close the loop.

The sweet spot is visual-first layouts with intentional copy — not walls of text, not vague headlines.

If your site looks great but feels quiet…

It might not need more content.

It might need better placed content.

Does your website explain itself in 5 seconds or less?
