This past few weeks i have taken a step back and looked at our website, I discovered that it was ... well ... lets just say it needed attention. so i decided that i would start fresh and redesign the whole thing from scratch. now looking back over the past few weeks whilst doing the new site i asked myself OMG what have i done.
Honestly there are some sites out there that allow you to drag and drop put things here, place things there but they don't tell you that there is no seo (search engine optimisation ) embedded in them. As a photographer image optimisation is 1 big key factor, but yet again there is an absolute minefield of do's and dont's no wonder so many people give up. however after speaking to some very knowledgeable people and taking time to actually read up on these things i discovered a few small tricks and helpful hints.
Overall i'm pleased with our new site we have had some good and some negative feedback, both of which are appreciated, at the end of the day it was a mental journey learning something that seems so straight forward, yet so many people get it wrong, and most don't even know. so whats my advice? study learn read ask as many questions as you can because you website is 1 of your digital prints and with the internet growing as fast as it is theres no point running a race if you're facing the other way.
