Wedding Photography Website Redesign

I have been trying to decide how I want my photography website to look for the past several months.  It seems like many photographers are using flash based websites.  I thought about going that route, but I felt like I would be giving up control if I did that.  Even though my web editing skills are very basic and self-taught, I like to have control of what I see.  Also, I am not an expert, but my research tells me flash based websites dont search well.  Having text that is relevant to your website in html seems to work best.  Perhaps that is why my site is listed first when you google “Tacoma wedding photographers” or “Tacoma wedding videographers.”  I’m not listed until the second page when you do that for Seattle.  Hopefully that’ll change in the near future after I finish updating my photography website and make it live for everyone.

Having this top position is important for me because I have been trying to run my business without spending money on advertisement.  Impossible right?  =) The best advertisement so far has been word of mouth.  I think I will have to advertise in Seattle Bride or one of the other local magazines in the near future though.  At least if I want to market our company more effectively.  There is still nothing like print.  That is why I still purchase magazines and books even though I can read a lot of it online.  And that is another reason why clients pay hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars for that custom designed wedding album.
