QUICK TIPS
1. 🏠️ Make the logo link to the homepage
People have really started to expect that clicking the logo is a sure-fire way to get back to the site’s homepage. It’s becoming common knowledge.
Making sure the logo is clickable allows you to remove “Home(page)” from the navigation, saving screen real estate and lessening visual noise.
Consistently offering the website logo as a navigation element makes things simpler for visitors, the site will be easier to navigate.
2. ⏯️ Reduce the number of images in your slideshows
I’m sure you’ve heard this many times already: focus on quality instead of quantity.
In this day and age, with people having so little patience when browsing online, you can’t really expect visitors to sit through a 50+ image slideshow. Yet so many photographers keep adding images to those long slideshows.
A large number of images in a slideshow will only dilute the wow-factor.
