318 - Your images are gorgeous… but your website? That might be another story.

 In this episode, I’m walking you through a practical photography website audit so you can spot the gaps that are turning dream clients away—often before they ever inquire. We’ll talk design, messaging, mobile, SEO, and what to fix first to book more high-value sessions.

What to listen for:

• The simple copy test that instantly reveals if your messaging is way too generic
• Why too much text sends today’s skim-happy visitors running for the back button
• The one clear call to action every photography website needs—and where it should go
• Why hiding your products and artwork is killing your conversions
• The quick mobile check for 80%+ of your website visitors
• How confusing navigation quietly kills conversions 
• A fast load-time test you can do today and what to change if your site is slow
• The SEO basics you must have in place so local clients can actually find you
• Three paths to upgrading your website (DIY, templates, or custom design) and when each one makes sense

Your website is either working for you 24/7… or quietly working against you. The good news? Once you know the most common photography website mistakes, they’re totally fixable, often faster than you think.
