What your customers want
Posted on May 31, 2016 at 2:01 pm
With every website you should always consider what the customer wants. IT may be that your site is purely there to give information, if so you need to make sure that the information given is up to date, easy to read and also easy to find (not hidden within many pages on the site.) If your website is an ecommerce one and allows you to sell products and services, then you should ensure that the check out process is as easy as possible. You may wish to build a login area to allow customers to place an order to an existing address, track the order and possibly even amend the order within a certain time frame. Websites that also allow people to check out without creating a full account work well, as some people just want to place a quick order without creating an account with you at this time.

Adding functionality to your website
Posted on April 25, 2016 at 9:58 pm
Once you have a website established it is easy to get complacent and let years go by without changing anything on it. The risk with this is not only may you fall down the search engine result listings but also losing customers by not offering the most up to date information.
If your competitors, say for example in a printing company, are allowing their customers to upload PDF or Jpeg images and order a print online and you are not currently offering this service then you may lose business to them.
Often you will need to invest on a monthly or annual basis to allow addition of functionality to the site, but if done correctly and invested in the right way you can easily make the money back and more.
If you are going to be making big chances that will be advantageous to your customers, then don’t forget to market it in as many places as possible.

Branding A Start Up Business
Posted on April 21, 2016 at 7:44 pm
If you’re creating a start-up business, it’s important to not rush branding. You need to think about the type of customers you’re looking to attract, and you need to know how you want your business to be recognised.
With the all important logo design, it’s important to think about a whole lot more than colours and typography, but whatever ideas you have in your head it has to relate to your target audience, but it also needs to be contemporary and instantly recognisable. A logo is just one aspect of branding, and one day it is likely to be on your packaging, your social media accounts, blogs, websites and perhaps even delivery vehicles, so you need to make sure it’s right.
It’s fair to say that this is not always easy for start-up businesses and you may have to develop your brand over time; starting off simple and making tweaks as you develop. You will then be able to express your individuality and raise brand awareness across all of your marketing channels.

Image Processing For Your Site
Posted on March 13, 2016 at 8:34 pm
Many web photographers batch process their images to save time, and this is one of the big advantages. Once you’ve photographed a wedding, you’re likely to have hundreds of images to edit, and batch processing groups of images can prevent you from wasting needless hours on individual tweaks.
Some also like to have one style for a series of images, and this is much easier to do if you’re batch processing, as you can apply the same adjustment to large number of images. Individual editing obviously takes more time, but there’s more attention to detail with this approach.
Others are happy to spend more time editing, making tweaks to individual images, and it does all come down to preference. Too many photos in the same tones or colours can get a little bit boring and predictable, so whatever you do, make sure you are mixing it up from time to time.
