A photography website is a very important way to share your work online, but it is also a great way to present your overall brand. If you're a professional photographer, it's critical to have a website where you can show off your best work and share important information about your services.

Not only will you be judged based on whether or not you have a website, you will also be judged based on how your website looks and behaves. It's very important to not only have a functional site, but it needs to look great and be easy to navigate. This includes numerous design decisions, which once made, should be made consistently throughout your entire site. Further, it's important to show off only your best work. People don't want to wade through dozens of galleries each containing hundreds of images.
