Web Design for Creatives — FAQs
Do I really need a custom website, or will a Squarespace template do?
Templates get you online quickly, but they have significant limitations: slow load speeds, generic layouts, weak SEO, and a distinctive 'template look' that experienced clients recognise instantly. A custom website is faster, ranks better, and doesn't look like every other creative portfolio on the internet.
Can you help with copywriting for my portfolio?
I can help shape and structure the key copy — your about page, service descriptions, and calls-to-action — but full copywriting is a separate service. If you need a professional copywriter, I can recommend people I trust.
How should I organise my portfolio on the website?
This is one of the most important decisions we make together. Generally: lead with the work that's most relevant to the clients you want more of, use categories or filters if you work across multiple disciplines, and include case studies (context + problem + solution) rather than just image galleries where possible.
Can you help me rank for '[city] photographer' or '[discipline] freelancer'?
Yes. Every page I build includes the SEO foundations that make local and niche ranking possible. For competitive terms, adding an ongoing SEO retainer (from £300/month) accelerates results significantly.
