MiniSite Micro Pix
I am betting that most photographers out there have a website in the making and not even know it. To get a website going, templates are available for minisites. Minisites can be sold online as products. The further along each minisite is developed, the better. People buy domain names every day on the speculative hope they can assign value via search results for that name. Doing this starts with site content and images.
Minisites can make the same kind of micro-revenue stock photos can. Topical and generic forms are desired. I went to Tradebit.com and purchased 20 templates for 99 cents. Then all I had to do was pick one. The image files get anchored inside the HTML file of the template and then uploaded onto a companion folder online to launch the website.
As it always the case, a neutral design is the best pick because the images must shine and complicated colors can overshadow the content. I had about 5 short text files ready with paragraphs concerning property management. I then started paring my chosen photo files to sizes that would complement the available spaces inside the template. Things like apartment lighting, parking garage doors, and signage kept popping up.
But where a lot of domain name and industry Internet professionals fall short is the ready supply of low cost legal images. But if you have been roaming on photo walkabouts, you have the necessary material. You may have a suite of photo images that could fill a website and don’t realize it. if you started planning what kinds of photos you would liketo have to fill a certainwebsite, you might be able to finish the group with a short picture taking jaunt.
I just started work on a realty website with property management and landlord responsibilities as its main prose topics. For the exercise below, fill in your own topics or picture types. or follow along and make a website just like this one. Buy a domain name, get a hosting account, and voila, you are a site designing webmaster. Get your own Google code and wait for the payments. Use your creativity to see which image can work best.
The images I ended up using were part of several image series that I had archived. I used the most generic images I could find in uniform sizes. i put the txt blocks in, and uploaded the site. I’ll check back in a few weeks to see what visitor traffic the statistics show I have received.
