1. 🙈 Why do websites become “ugly”?
When I first look at a photography website, the first thing I notice, of course, is an ugly or outdated design. This might sound a bit too generic, but let’s deconstruct this.
An ugly website design happens because:
it’s an old site, and it’s been neglected for a long time, it’s out of fashion
they couldn’t hire a professional to do it, either they’re just beginning and they didn’t have the budget for it
photographers don’t have a good design sense, or they’re just disorganized in general
or they don’t know how to master a specific website tool
2. 🎯 Master your business funnel to get more clients
Your photography business funnel is key to attracting and converting clients. If you’re not getting enough inquiries, it might be time to rethink how you guide visitors through your website.

Here’s a quick breakdown:
Traffic: Ensure you have a consistent flow of visitors by optimizing your site for search engines and promoting it on social media.
Leads: Capture emails through lead magnets like free guides or discount codes.
Income: Convert leads into paying clients with compelling offers and a clear call to action.
A well-structured funnel is crucial to turning your website visitors into loyal clients.
