Many will skip around from template to template, never quite happy with the results. It can be so frustrating to spend hours and hours on a website, only to find out it’s not working and the phone still isn’t ringing. So you look around at what other photographers are doing and you see that a lot of them are using Acme Photo template, and lots of photo “gurus” are raving about it. You decide it must be good and you purchase it. You are excited to get started on your new site, but what started as a quick project is turning into a 70 hour nightmare. You finally get the site up and are relieved, but after a few months your traffic hasn’t improved and the phone still isn’t ringing. Those other photographer sites may have looked pretty good, but lately you see many of those photographers have been talking on Facebook and forums complaining about business being down. At this point you feel completely defeated.
Getting started with a website is often overwhelming for many photographers. As a result, many photographers hand over control of their site because they don’t want to deal with it, or put off doing anything at all. Unfortunately many end up choosing an option that seems easy or inexpensive only to run into unfortunate consequences down the road. Most photography websites are focused on looks and images only. They’re designed in a way that appeals to photographers rather than paying clients. The problem is many of these sites get lots of likes on Facebook and forums, but they do little to generate traffic and sales.
I’ve been there too.
I’ve tried so many website platforms and site templates, flash sites, designed my own, hired services. I spent so much time switching designs and figuring it out why my site wasn’t working. I’ve dealt with hacked sites, slow sites, sites going down, broken templates – sites that were hard to update, bad for SEO – you name it. It’s kind of hard run a business when you have to spend time troubleshooting website problems all the time. Launch is an upcoming workshop that is designed to help you take control of your website.
