Hi Alex, I’ve had these on my website for some time now, but just not working for me, (well maybe people just don’t like my work maybe I need to work on that) http://www.familyphotosbyblincpics.co.uk
I just looked at your website – its definitely not that people don’t like your work! It’s STUNNING! Love from across the Atlantic <3
Aww Thank you Meaghan,
Hey Lynette!
These definitely help guide more people in the right direction, BUT if demand is not there, it’s simply not there. Question: what type of marketing are you doing right now? In other words, how are you getting people to your site? Would love to know!
Big hugs
xoxo
Hi Alex,
I do pay for click,
Tie in with some bouqite clothes shops
Leaflet drops
work of mouth
Tie in with really nice ice cream store
Facebook advertising
Twitter
Google+
Online forums for families#
Advertising in pre-schools
):
I get traffic to my site around 1000 clicks a month but no enquiries ):
I’m at a lost, maybe I’m being told something, (time to give in after 8 years just never going to make this a full time job) Love to be like others who can really do this full time
Hi Lynette,
When I looked at your site, on my computer, the area ‘above the fold’ was super clear and professional looking (the top nav bar and photo slider with lovely photos) but when I scrolled down the area ‘below the fold’ was cluttered and it was hard for me to tell what went with which other info. Maybe streamlining that area could help. It sounds like you are marketing your pants off, so I don’t know if that little tweak will make a huge difference, but it might help! From what I understand the UK market is very different from the photography market here in the US, so you may just have a more challenging environment to work in too!
I have been meaning to do this and I think it’s time to actually DO it!
Thanks for the urge to get it done!

YES! So glad to hear you’ll be putting this into practice! Awesome π
I did it! If you visit, let me know what you think. Thanks for your awesomeness!
Hi Alex! I love this video and Thursday Throwdown! So excited to see what’s coming up next. I redesigned my website this past year and I’m thinking it needs a little help or a little boost. And if anyone else has any tips, please let me know!! Here’s the link: http://www.rachel-lee-photography.com

Who designed her website? I absolutely love it and want to get in touch with the designer π
I designed my site myself. π I also work as a graphic designer & web developer, so let’s talk if you’re interested!
Oo yes very interested π where should I contact you at?
corinne[at]stuckwithpins.com
Illegally talented Corinne:) Aw struck straight to the face!
Woop woop! A design match made in heaven π
I agree! Her website is gorgeous!! But the most amazing thing on this website is the photos! This girl is seriously talented! Looks like a dream wedding photographer π
Hey Alex – loved the video! Got the call to action tip from you a while back and implemented it into my website right then and there. Still don’t have the message box in the contact page, though. I’d like to but I’m not really sure how to go about doing it. I’m definitely not a website designer guru! Here’s my link though to check it out π http://www.1-20photography.com
Hey Haleigh!
I’m thrilled that you loved the video π
Definitely check out tweaky.com if you need some small changes to your website (like the form). I use them all the time and loooove ’em!
BIG HUGS

Thanks so much! I will definitely check their website out.
Thanks so much for including my site in this new series Alex! Your tips were super helpful and I’ll definitely be using them to tune up my site. π You’re awesome!
Corinne!
You are the bomb dot com for letting me use your site! It’s GORGEOUS and you are SO TALENTED! π
Big hugs

I LUV your stuff! 3 years of creating a biz and website… I wish I would have found you along time ago. There are so many sites out there, but yours ROCKS!
Thanks, Caitlin! Rock on! <3
Nice video π
What happened to Thriving Thursday? π
Thanks @Oscar_Jettman:disqus! Thriving Thursday was outvoted haha!
I love your tips! I love website critiques it’s my favrorite thing to do. Its so helpful to get opinions of others and to continue to evolve your website. I recently redid my wedding planning site and the one tip you reminded me to add was a call to action at the end of every page. I have the usual pin this, share this, but I think I’ll add a contact me to book link too!

Hey @disqus_kfYepwAcxa:disqus! Thanks for your comment and for the links! Rock on! xoxo
I love the tips you give Alex. You are exciting and full of energy. Thanks for this and thanks Corrine for allowing us to look at your site.
i put a call to action in my footer so no matter where you are, it’s always at the bottom! I also have a quick form for contacting me! carolineburkephoto.com π
Great video, Alex! As always π I’m in a process of making my new website, and will definitely use this tip!
Here’s a link to my current website http://www.becomethebestofyou.com if someone wants to critique it π
you’re great on camera, alex! and thanks for the solid website tips.
First of all, I want to thank you for all your tips, they are really helpfull. Also I really like you speak so clearly and not very fast, that helps for people like me who are not english speakers (I, personally, really appreciate this).
About this tip in particular, I found it really interesting and helpful, and I just used it for my portfolio, so I hope it helps people to want to contact me.
Unfortunately I can’t have a submission form to contact me, maybe I could but I’ll have to look for some ways to do it, definetly I’ll try to find the way, at least.
Once again, thank you!
Love those tips, going to put them on my blog now.
New post up soon!

Thanks for the video. Once I felt I was finished my website I let my friends look it – I watched them and where they instinctivly clicked expecting a link I added link: http://ktva209.wix.com/ktva209
I also add monthly campaigns/flyers which show at the bottom.
Thanks for the tips Alex! I’m always looking for ways to improve my site and I think it’s a fabulous idea to add links to your contact page on both your ‘about’ page and gallery pages. I will definitely be implanting this!
I am a sole Day-Of Wedding Coordinator and my website is http://www.jessicadum.com if anyone’s interested in critiquing and offering suggestions! π
Alex, I loved how we could see you and see you navigating the website at the same time. What app did you use? It looked effortless and brought me in as a viewer. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips again Alex. I flipped over to my own web http://www.sharoncooper.co.uk and thought Id see how I shape up. Always worth a tweak our websites, wouldnt you say? Corinnes looks ace!
