E 16: The Website Mistakes Photographers Keep Making (And How to Fix Them) w/ Octavia Elease


Listen Later

If your website isn't pulling its weight—this episode is for you. Sarah and Kellie sit down with Showit website designer and HoneyBook/Flodesk wizard Octavia Elease to talk about the biggest website mistakes photographers are making... and how to fix them fast.

Octavia works with photographers to create magical, seamless online experiences that actually convert browsers into buyers. In this episode, she shares her no-fluff, high-impact advice on what your website needs to do immediately when someone lands on it—and what’s making them bounce.

They dive into:

  • Why your location needs to be above the fold (yes, really!)
  • How to design your website around your client journey
  • Why Google needs WORDS, not just pretty photos
  • The truth about SEO, H1s, and heading structure
  • How to make your website feel like you, not like every other neutral-toned photographer site

You’ll learn exactly what to add to your contact page, how to use your email list to build connection, and why standing out matters more than fitting in.

Whether you’ve got a brand-new site or one that’s been chilling untouched since 2018, this episode is packed with actionable website tips for photographers who want their site to do more than just look cute.

Get ready to audit your own site and walk away with real changes you can make today (Octavia even drops her fave free Chrome extension!). This is the website wisdom every creative needs.
