Listen Later

Over the last few episodes we have mentioned websites and putting things on your websites but we haven't talked about where to get started. In this episode, we are going to take you through step by step on how you can get your place on the world wide web. That and more, coming up.


What’s Up I’m TJ and I'm Justin and welcome to the Talking Pixels Podcast: Helping you take your photography from a hobby to a career!


So we’ve regularly mentioned websites in our past podcasts, but we haven’t really talked about them in-depth. A website is as important as a business card if not more important in the digital age. Justin, do you think people even need a website any more with social media sites like Facebook and Instagram?
Intro thoughts:

Where to start with your website?
