QUICK TIPS
1. šØ Don't Build Your Business on Borrowed Land
Social media platforms are powerful, but theyāre not yours.
Platforms come and go.
Algorithms change, making it harder to reach your audience.
Your account could be shut down without warning.
Your website, on the other hand, is an asset you own. Itās your online home, under your control, where you can showcase your work, attract clients, and grow your business.
Use social media as a marketing tool, but always direct people back to your websiteāthe foundation of your brand.
2. āļø Edit Your Website Like You Edit Your Photos
When you edit a photo, you remove distractions to guide the viewerās eye.
When you edit your portfolio, you remove the fluff and you sequence photos properly.
Your website should work the same way.
Strip away unnecessary elements. Make navigation effortless. Let your work breathe.
Simplicity isnāt just a design choiceāitās a business strategy that keeps visitors coming back.
