Take lots of pictures

I love building websites and marketing within the owner/operator service industry businesses since they know that it takes hard work and dedication to be successful at their business… as do I.

One of the many suggestions that I give to small businesses when I work with them to build their website and help them establish/enhance their online presence is: Take a ton of pictures!

No kidding: take as many photos as you can of yourself, the equipment you work with, and the work you and your team do.

While we web designers won’t be able to use every single picture taken on your website, the more options we have, the better! Think beyond just your website — these images can also be great for other platforms like Facebook, Yelp, Google Business Profile, Instagram, and X/Twitter.

Don’t be shy — take tons of pictures! You won’t use all of them, but it’s always better to have too many than not enough.

Have a friend or family member take pictures. Even with their phone. Just take pictures. Some will be blurry, some won’t be framed correctly… just take lots of pictures and between the 2 of us—we will make your online presence great.

Animations and logos are also a great way to get brand recognition. Again: If the budget doesn’t allow for a professional designer have family & friends draw something up. If needed: we can use many free and/or low cost tools to make the drawings stand out.
