The Challenge
Stephanie’s new business, SR Photos, specialises in Equestrian and dog photography. Serving the Staffordshire and Derbyshire areas, Steph offers private photoshoots and also event photography services.
Steph needed a brand new visually stunning website that highlights her photographic style. A simple navigation, blog section and gallery space are all key requirements for this site.
The Process
Search Engine Ready
The equestrian photography market is a competitive one, so we made sure that SR Photos had the best set up possible for SEO optimisation. Keywords were identified and included throughout the site, the technical and on page optimisation was taken care of, and the site was connected up to Google console and Analytics. The site also includes a blog, so Steph can easily add relevant content on a regular basis to keep the site fresh.
Collaboration with the artist
From the start of the project, Steph wanted to be involved with the design and styling of the site. This collaborative approach allowed Steph’s vision for her site to be combined with Effortless Website’s web building expertise. Steph has previous web editing experience, and through this process learnt how to edit a Wix site too, so she’s confident in making her own changes and updates as her business moves forward.
All about the images
As you’d expect from a photography business, images were at the forefront of the website design for SR Photos. Careful thought was given to the layout of the site to incorporate many different spaces for images. An automatically scrolling image slider, various galleries, banners, full size images and image scroll effects were all used to provide a variety of spaces to share images and maintain user interest, whist keeping the site design balanced and not overpowered by the images.

The Solution
The result was a website that truly represents SR Photos; not only a visually stunning site, but one that provides a fantastic user experience and features strong SEO optimisation.
Website Features
"I've been putting off doing my website for a while as it seemed daunting. Fiona not only helped, but encouraged me to take the first step in my new venture. There was a help guide for everything I didn't understand, all broken down into simple steps that were easy to understand. I would recommend Fiona to anyone who wanted to create a website for their business."
