How to create the perfect online portfolio
Event info
All photographers and creatives need a website that’s attention-grabbing and a joy to browse. It should make potential employers, agencies and clients desperate to work with you.
Whether you’re amateur or professional, you’ll have built up a body of work to be proud of, so to get hired you need to show it off in the best possible setting.
Allie Astell, Founder of Manage My Website will give her 10 top tips to help you build a high impact, effective online portfolio.
1: Who are you talking to? (think of your target market/audience)
2: Plan your website properly (planning ahead)
3: Keep it simple (don’t over-complicate things or add too much code)
4: Be selective with your work (choose from your portfolio very carefully)
5: Tell a story (give a background to your projects)
6: Keep your design clean (let the photographs speak for themselves)
7: Who are you? (people like to know about the photographers themselves)
8: Contact is key (ensure there are clear contact areas)
9: Catch Google’s eye (SEO for websites)
10: Be responsive (websites should work well on all devices and browsers)
