Your Website [Probably] Sucks…Let’s Make it Work For You

Speaker: Isaac Coffy

Lecture   

All Skill Levels   

Too often do we as creatives get swept up in websites that focus on pretty pictures and nice whitespace while forgetting what’s most important: the customer experience. What type of photography do you offer? How much does it cost? How do I book you?

In this class we’re going to hit the core elements of creating a website that works for you:
Messaging that’s client focused
Navigation that makes sense
How much info is too much…or too little?

During the class, we’ll even be taking a look at real photographer’s websites, doing a full breakdown of the good and the bad…with permission of course.

SKILL LEVELS

Beginner: Just starting out or relatively new to a given subject matter. Basics will be covered and the course will move at a slower pace. The instructor will spend a little more time trying to explain concepts to ensure everyone is following. On a scale of 1-10 consider this level a 1-3 on the given topic.

Intermediate: Has a grasp of some basic concepts. This course level will move at a faster pace and assume you have basic knowledge covered on the given subject matter. On a scale of 1-10 consider this level a 4-6 on the given topic.

Advanced: You have working knowledge of the given subject matter, but are looking for more fine-tuning and some advanced topics to take your work to that next level. DO NOT expect instructors to explain basic concepts in this course. On a scale of 1-10 consider this level a 7-10 on the given topic.

Class Types

Hands-On

These are shooting courses. You will be shooting and working. Bring your camera, gear, or whatever you need for the course and to create create images. Expect to have some level of shooting.

Live Demonstration

These are instructor-led courses where you will see a live demonstration of what the instructor is teaching. You can still bring your camera to these courses and you can photograph, but the goal of the course is NOT for you to shoot or to ensure you get a shot. The goal is for you to see how and why the instructor does what he/she does in order to get the final result.

Lecture

These are non-shooting courses. Typically classroom-based, bring your laptop and notepad and focus on learning!
