Key Takeaways

✦

Stop trying to be everything to everyone on your website; instead, focus on a single, clear message that defines your unique value.

✦

Invest in high-quality photography and videography for your projects, as visual media is as important, if not more, than the website itself.

✦

Contextualize your project photos with client stories (why they chose you, what problem you solved) to make your work relatable and memorable.

✦

Your featured projects page is one of the most critical pages on your website; use it to answer the core question: 'Can you actually do what I'm looking for?'

✦

Tailor your featured project pages to specific client types and their underlying motivations (e.g., aging in place, hosting holidays) rather than just listing services.

✦

When hiring videographers, prioritize their interview and people skills and their understanding of the 'end message' and ROI, not just technical ability.

✦

For photography, seek architectural or interior design photographers who focus on craftsmanship and details, and ensure spaces are staged to help prospects envision themselves in the finished space.
