QUICK TIPS
1. 🚀 Less Clutter, More Conversions
A chaotic website makes visitors work too hard. If they’re overwhelmed, they leave.
Limit menu items to essential links (5-7 max).
Highlight key actions—what do you really want visitors to do? Book a session? View your best work?
Reduce homepage distractions—too many galleries or services dilute your message.
When everything on your site has a clear purpose, visitors stay longer and are more likely to engage.
2. 🤳 Instagram Isn’t What It Used to Be for Photographers
The default aspect ratio is now 4:5 vertical instead of square.
Reels (video content) are being pushed harder than ever.
Organic reach for still images has plummeted as Instagram shifts toward TikTok-style content.
If you’ve relied on Instagram for exposure, it’s time to rethink your strategy. Your website should be your primary showcase, while social media remains just a tool to drive traffic. Don’t let shifting algorithms control your business!
