New photographer do's and don't when creating a web presence/business

[candidrachel]

I've only really scannned a few pages but I loved Nick Bedfords troll under the bridge idea and thought No! This is the "troll"



And the troll in "portrait":



In all seriousness. I'd rather save up and throw a load of money in a professional web designers direction and get something custom made.

Great tips BigFuzzy!! You rock!!

You seem to be making character judgments based on music preference?

She has a masters in design, so you could throw your money her way! I would recommend seeing some of her design work first however..and good luck with that!

Thanks everyone for the kind words of support and for adding to the original thread despite how wildly we've gone off track at times on this thread. As usual we have me and Photologyst to thank for that de-railing.

I'm starting to feel bad, because as Sime's said to me in the past, there's no need to incite the mob (I did it with Benji) and now that Photologyst has shown us exactly who she is, all bark no bite with the "bite" = anything of substance to back up her words there's no need to continue the public flogging.

As they say we simply shouldn't feed the troll anymore. The more we actually press her, the more delusional and incomprehensible her comments become. As I eluded once before, she's the type to only ever think, in the face of the masses saying the exact same thing, that it can only be THEM that's wrong, so there's no use going after her anymore, she'll clearly not ever back up her words. The best we can do, is when she goes off track when commenting is ensuring that we interject some reality and fact and try to ensure no one mistakes her post count or haughty attitude as carrying any weight in the eyes of the community.

The community will fix itself of those members that are full of crap or don't contribute. It's amazing how NOT A SINGLE PERSON has every jumped in to defend Photologyst out of the thousands here. Funny that huh Photologyst? I'm sure that says nothing to you, right?

I hate that I cannot just shut my mouth when I see such unbearable arrogance and narrow-minded attitudes (no, not talking about myself, I like my narrow-minded arrogance ) because as any of you can see from my numerous posts, I'm normally quite a pleasant & helpful person. But I refuse to let people like this muddy the waters, talk big and not back it up. I've never claimed to know absolute truths (like Photologyst), I just have opinions (strong ones, yes) that I try to back up with something... anything. Why can't you do the same photologyst. At least, when I talk my big talk, people can look me up, check out where I'm coming from and decide for themselves whether or not I'm full of it. Since you don't do that, I'm the one that'll make sure people see you for what you are and can decide for themselves.

Photologyst, answer the question about PhiDesigns.. is that your website? A simple yes or now will do. I'm predicting you'll claim you can't read my posts though in this exact thread you quote one of my posts.
