Jacky's Photograpy

If more photographers knew how to build a photography website, they would easily take their photography business to the next level. Most photographers know that without a website, they aren't taken seriously. A photographer that is not taken seriously is simply not successful. This is known and understood by most. What isn't known as well is "how to build a photography website."

Building websites is like riding a bicycle and like driving a car. Both are methods of transportation that require specific knowledge and specific skills for each. For the most part, the specific "how-to" knowledge is very simple and very easy - for those who already "know!" If you don't know the specific skills required (regardless of how "easy" and "simple" they are), it might as well be "rocket science!"

Knowing how to build a photography website has been a serious challenge for many photographers, until now.

The Myth of "Web-Designers"

Similar to transportation options, someone else can be hired to do the work. Usually, this is a "web-designer." This isn't the best option for the long term. Web-designers can design, build and publish your website - but they don't (can't) "drive it" for you. Besides, building and publishing a website is only about 10% of what it takes to have a successful and profitable photography website.

The Myth of "Simple and Easy"

There are many website building products available. A great many of them are very, very good. Quite a few of them are actually "great!" However, too many of them have their instructions and directions written by people that already "know" how to build a photography website (and wrongly assume that the rest of us "know" what they know).

Often the "simple and easy" products require us to take the tedious time to learn far more than we really wanted to know. And we still find that "simple and easy" is relative. It isn't a matter of intelligence or being smart. Photographers would rather spend their time "doing" photography - not becoming an "internet-techno-wizard!"

Also, many of the "simple and easy" photography websites wrongly assume that "one-size-fits-all."
