So much of the photography business is business. It's not as simple as just taking good photos.
If you don't have a good starting direction it would be very easy to get lost. Between social media integration, picking a website hosting, domain hosting, blogs, and that seems to just be the tip of the iceberg.
Im in the position currently of trying to find the best place for my website. There are SO many options and different aspects and bells and whistles to weigh out. There's not only the layout and appearance, but store front options, security, print proofing, and membership fees. It's really enough to make your head spin!
In my search over the past week I have gone through numerous options and various hosting sites. It seems like the search could potentially go on forever. One thing I have realized is as many examples as there are out on the internet nowadays, you really have to go with the best choice for YOU. What might be the most important aspect to you might not matter as much to a fellow photographer.
I am confident within the next few days I will be able to decipher my notes and make my final decision. Then I will be able to really start putting together my professional website.
On another note, Im starting this blog to share my thoughts, experience, inspiration and anything else photography. From time to time i'll add my own personal photographs and critique them myself and would love the input from others as well :-)
