deliverables: web design, copywriting, brand kit
Heather James Imagery, a photography business based in Idaho, is known for her candid, inspiring, and cinematic style, focusing on weddings, couples, and family portraits. Heather, the owner, initially created her own website and branding but felt they no longer aligned with the evolving direction of her business. The project included a complete redesign of her brand colors and website, as well as crafting engaging copy to better reflect her style and attract her target audience.
Challenges
Heather was dissatisfied with her original brand colors and website, feeling they did not effectively communicate the essence of her photography or appeal to her ideal clientele. The main challenge was to redesign her digital presence to resonate more authentically with her vision and the emotional, cinematic quality of her work.
Solutions
Brand Redesign: After a discovery call and careful consideration of Heather’s preferences and business goals, I developed a new color palette featuring earthy tones such as tan, chocolate brown, and sage green. These colors better reflected the warmth and nature-inspired aesthetic of her photography.
Website Redesign: Utilizing Wix, I designed a new website that captured Heather’s unique style and told her story in a way that was engaging and visually appealing. The design focused on showcasing her photography and making it easy for potential clients to navigate and connect.
Copywriting: I wrote compelling website copy that effectively communicated Heather’s expertise and the unique value of her services. The copy was tailored to engage her specific audience, focusing on the emotional and memorable experiences she captures.
SEO Implementation: Basic SEO setup was included to enhance the website’s visibility and improve organic search rankings, helping to attract more leads and bookings through Google.
The revamped website and refreshed brand identity were well-received, significantly increasing Heather’s visibility and appeal to her target market. Months and even a year after the launch, Heather reported a substantial increase in leads and bookings directly attributed to her enhanced online presence.
