Planning a website for your small business? You need to think about PHOTOGRAPHY, especially if you want a website design that pops.
Did you know that the photos on your website can make or break your success?
It’s true!
Is Website Photography Worth the Investment?
Website photos are a valuable investment. Your website visitors want to see authentic photos of YOU, not stock photos. Yes, stock photos can be useful, but they’re far from ideal.
What your website visitors – your potential customers or clients – want to see is your company in action. What do you offer? Show it in real world applications. Show team members going about their processes, show interactions, show emotion.
