As a wedding photographer, having an outstanding website is so important and so I wanted to do a wedding photography website critique for fun. I put together a critique of a few websites with my honest first impression and feedback. There is so much I am still learning about the wedding photography industry, but I have definitely created my fair share of websites over the years and have learned a few things when it comes to photography website designs and creating a website that stands out. In this video I share all of my wedding photography website tips and advice!
So I have never seen any of these websites before making this video, just for full disclosure.
Watch the full video here:
Some key takeaways:
- If you are a travel photographer, say “travel” , and if you are not, say “serving” __.
- 7-8 menu options might be one too many options. I’ve heard five or six is a sweet spot.
- My first thought is, who are you? What’s your name? And I don’t, don’t see that anywhere, make sure to introduce yourself right away.
- I’m also noticing is there’s a lot of sentences ending in exclamation, exclamation, exclamation. So it feels like you’re shouting.
- The ‘click that button below’ is kind of an outdated thing with today’s websites.
- If I click book appointment, it takes me straight to the contact page. Love that.
- Each gallery has a different format, so I think it might be more consistent if they were all the same kind of format.
- Contact page is almost creating a lot of work for potential clients to to think about when they want to inquire with you, make it less questions.
I think it looks great and I love your website, so I hope this was helpful.
