How to start up a blog for your Photography Business

I spent hours researching this when I originally looked into having my own blogsite.  I knew that I needed someone to host my site (thats the limit of my technical knowledge) and I needed a good template, because who on earth know how to "build" a website from scratch?

So anyway after hours of research I finally found Prophoto3 and I have to say that they are fantastic.  The templates are unbelievably easy to customise, and when I got stuck & something went wrong with what I was doing they stepped in & sorted it out!



The templates work on wordpress ( a bloging platform) which is hosted via Bluehost.  So its all very simple. You pay an annual amount to Bluehost for web space (so to speak) upload wordpress to it and then load your blog template!


Its really not that complicated to get a professional looking website!  Check mine out here  http://www.blossomandbloom.co.uk to see how it looks.


And if any of you are struggling with getting it all sorted get in touch & I'll see if I can help!

  1. Great advice. In addition I would say that if your URL targets your local area where you live, the chances are that URL would generate lots of interest. Not only informative but also profitable. I have done something similar with my photos (which is work in progress) and covered all the local area names. The owner of photographers in Watford in Watford Herts
