A great website should do more than look pretty. It should help you attract and convert your ideal clients, without driving you crazy in the design and maintenance processes. And while the design is important, your website strategy is about a lot more than looks. In fact, planning your site strategy starts long before you ever open a site builder.

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Showit website designer and one half of Launch Your Daydream, Kelsey Christine, about web strategy for photographers. Kelsey shares her advice for photographers who want their websites to look great and function well. She explains her Showit template customization process and where you should start if you’re in need of a website. We also chat about our love-hate relationships with blogging and whether or not it’s still important for photographers.
