Website for photography FAQ

  • You don’t need to be a website design expert to make a professional photography website. Just keep some top tips in mind. First, keep it simple. Most successful photography websites have just a few pages and are selective about the number of photos they. Put some text on every page, describing who you are and where you work. Adding text helps improve your search engine ranking, too. Use a custom domain so that your site looks professional, and remember to keep things up-to-date.

  • You might already use social media sites to display your photographs. But even social media mavens should set up a photography website, too. It’s the best way to display your entire portfolio on a platform that you control, with your own photography website name too. Connect your website to your social media accounts, and be sure to add text to your website that explains who you are and where you work. This will help search engines show your site to the right people.
