I’m not going to keep you guessing. The very best way to uplevel your website (whether it’s DIY or designed by a pro) is to use professional photos.

Does something just look ‘off’ with your website design?

You know the feeling. You’re looking at your website and it’s just not clicking. The design doesn’t look right. The look and feel you were going for just isn’t there.

Maybe you’re using old photos, or a mishmash of photos from a bunch of different photoshoots. Or maybe you had to use a lot of stock photos to fill space.

When you’re in doubt about what’s not working on your website, it’s probably the photos.

Photos are the first investment you should make

The first thing to invest in – even before you hire a designer for your website – is professional photos. You don’t need a ton of them. You need about 5 to 10.

High quality professional brand photos make your website SO much more professional and cohesive. It’s totally worth the investment. Plus – you can use them for your social media posts too for a cohesive look across all your platforms.

Awesome photos won’t solve all your problems, but they sure will go a long way towards up leveling your website!
