Increase your Impact with great Photography in your website design

Some businesses provide quality products and services but because they do not display these the best way possible on their websites, they lose out on so many prospects and leads that visit their plain unattractive websites.  Sometimes they will rather explain with long lists and bullets, their great quality of work and why you should consider their services.  Why not let an impactful photo portfolio display do all the work for you much more effectively?

At Heatherstone, we accomplished such a feat with a previous client “First Impression Hardscapes”.  If you take a look at their website, you will notice that before any additional clicks, you already can visualize their work quality and testimonials of previous clients.  You are probably almost sold before doing anything else after landing on the home page.

When you have an occupation or business in fields like photography, interior designing, event planning or painting …that can possibly provide you with a great portfolio of your work, it is best to use the most attractive and effective website themes to display your talent.

A HUGE tip, invest in great professional photography of your services because low quality or low grade photography could end up hurting rather than helping in this case of home page  portfolio displays.

You want visitors, who in most cases could be leads to become new customers, to immediately see your great quality work and be mesmerized to your attention to detail and delivery of high quality service or product.  You want them to be immediately impacted by the great photography of your portfolio in sliding widgets, flash banners, interactive slideshows that could display each previous work and its details.

A well customized home page with such imagery is very effective to marketing your business and can increase phone call or email inquiries dramatically because your visitors have seen your high quality standards of delivery without any additional clicks through your website.

A website theme that could accomplish such goals through its design is the “Exposure” WOO theme on woothemes.com.

These are some of the more unique features that you will find within this theme:

• A hugely unique completely widgetized home page, where you can set exactly what posts you want to display, as each post is a widget.
• Incredible post image gallery management, with options to display your images in a post in a variety of ways, including small/medium/big thumbnails using javascript scrollers
• Layout control of your imagery in the archive, attachment and single pages, with a custom settings panel in each post to overwrite these controls with post-specific layouts
• A dedicated blog section to your site, accessible via the navigation with it’s own template to display blog posts differently to photo posts
• Banner ad management via the theme option’s panel
• 22 delicious alternate color schemes to choose from and select in the theme option’s panel
