Sometimes, less is actually more!
To give your visitors a bit of an eye-break, it’s a good idea to separate your dense, photo-heavy sections with clean, content-driven white space sections.
Using intermittent color blocking and big, bold text sections on white backgrounds can help space out your more eye-popping areas.
Not enough photo variety
Since this is a very photo-dense style, you need a lot of different options to choose from. I don’t just mean lots of different portrait shots to choose from – you also need variety in the types of photos you take in the first place.
You need some close-ups of you working with your hands, engaging with a hobby of yours, and LOTS of environment shots that don’t show your face at all.
If you’re looking to take better promotional photos in your next shoot, here’s a super handy FREE guide I created for this purpose.
Not cohesive enough across the whole brand
It’s an extremely daunting task to DIY this style without real world design experience. A novice will likely go overboard, and your designs, branding & website will lack cohesion.
Creating an overarching design theme is critical with this kind of style, so if you’re hellbent on the DIY route, think big, focus on finding inspiration to follow, and whatever you do – keep your design consistent across your entire brand.

She heard all my requests and was incredibly patient with all of the custom details I asked for. The end result is worth so much more than the price I paid and honestly, I can’t believe I got such incredible value.
I recommend Laura without hesitation. In fact, I’ve been recommending her to friends, colleagues, and clients for the past 6 years we’ve worked together!

You nailed it way better than my little brain could’ve ever dreamed it up! I’m so so happy with the design!!! It is just gorgeous! Your design just nails everything I hoped to encompass and more. I can’t express that enough.
Thank you so much for helping my dream become reality. Could not have done it without you – that is for certain.

I’ve collaborated with many designers, and I’ve never met one with a more impressive combination of visual artistry, technical savvy and “I’m on it” professionalism. (The Container Store looks disorganized compared to her.)
Oh by the way, the new webinar registration page she designed has doubled my conversions, from about 9% to 20%+!

I wanted to reach out to say thank you again for the design of my website.
