Utilizing photography on your website is a key to success because pictures illuminate the copy. Websites with pictures beat text only sites hands down because they enable you to get a better sense of the products quickly. Remember, first impressions are crucial online when you sometimes only have a few seconds to grab a visitor’s attention. So do it with alluring pictures that will draw the visitor into your site and then they’ll read the content.

You can use your own digital pictures, find free photos at a range of sites or purchase stock photos for as little as $1 each. The key is to make sure they’re relevant to your product and convey the image you want to project.

Once you have great photos on your site, visitors will take notice. Also, you can submit the photo pages from your site to blogs that will increase your traffic.

There are a number of ways to add photography to your site. WordPress is most popular now. You can upload photos directly from within WordPress with the file uploading utility or use other software programs, such as FlickR. You can also use Dreamweaver to add photos to your site.

Check with your website design firm to determine the best way to add photos to your site and make sure you include them to illuminate the message you want to portray that will boost your business.
