Choosing Photos for Your Website

Photos are so important to me as a website designer because photos can really make or break a website. When a potential client comes to me and we are talking through the details of what they are looking for in a new website, I always bring up the topic of photos and if they do not have current or new or professional photos that are ready to go, I don't let them start their website project yet. I know it might sound harsh but it's true. You need to have photos before you can start your website design. So, I'm creating this video to share with you what I say all the time on these calls so you can get a glimpse behind the scenes of what it's like to work with a website designer. I'm also going to show you behind the scenes of my own brand photo shoot and go through this gallery of photos that I got back and how I choose and narrow down my selections so you can know how to best go about choosing photos for your website. I know it can be overwhelming when you get this big gallery of pictures back. How do you even make decisions on what to use on your website? That is what we're going to go over in this video.
I am Katherine Forbes, founder of Designing the Row, your one-stop shop for Squarespace websites. This video is part of my branding video series where I'm walking you through creating all of your brand elements because I think you need to have your brand locked in before you can design your website, so that is exactly what this is about. We've, we've gone through the messaging parts and now we're diving into the visual aspects of your brand. And obviously specifically, picking your pictures. So in this video, we're going to talk about picking your feature image and what that even is, and then how to narrow down a gallery of image images into just nine selections. If you'd like to take notes as you go through this video and the rest in the series, go to designingtherow.com/branding.
