Website Templates Made For Photographers....and what to include on your site

February 15, 2018

Templates make our life easier.
But it's finding the right one that can be tricky.

As a small business owner, I'm constantly looking for tools that will enhance my business – make it more efficient, profitable, and ultimately free up time for me to engage with our customers (you guys).

Templates are one of the best ways to do the things I'm not good at – things I didn't start my business for, yet are necessary to stay around. Marketing is by far one of the most important aspect to a business, and it can be one of the hardest parts. Like most entrepreneurs you started your business for something you love to do – and it's not marketing.

Can we all agree that the single most important marketing tool these days is your website? I mean, hello, if you don't have a website in 2018, no one will take you seriously. But let me guess, you don't know much, if anything, about how to set up, design, run... a website.

Have no fear! There are so many great, easy to use, and affordable website tools available now that will match your level of skills and expertise, as well as your style.

Some heavy hitters out there are WIX and SquareSpace, but they're tailored for the masses. What about website builders for creatives, like you, that need to cater to your unique style, capacity to showcase lots of images, and really understand the photography world?
