How to create a website for your photography course in 6 easy steps
Persuade your audience to buy with text and visuals.
We've all been there—spending hours working on our website and ending up with something that looks quite similar to a poorly designed text document, and on top of that it loads super slow. We want out photography course website to beautiful, to be cutting-edge. A website built on a right template will sell the course for you allowing you to focus on the content.
So talking about the website content, it all comes down to answering this simple question: Why should someone choose your photography over another course? Present the promise to your customer, so they know what to expect. A well-converting course website is typically simple, unique, and inspiring. It includes attention-grabbing copy and visuals representing the main benefits closed with a clear call-to-action.
In this guide, you'll learn the pragmatic approach to creating a beautiful website using CreativeMindClass. It lets you consistently present your course benefits with copy, images and promo videos, and more to create a website that convinces your audience.
1. Grab the visitor's attention
On your photography course website, you should get to the point quickly before your potential customer moves on.
It's crucial to set a strong foundation from the start. The first thing they read is your headline. It describes what a visitor will get from your online photography course. It clearly states the benefit of your course.
Keep it short, punchy, and clear. The easiest way to keep the headline short is to add a supporting headline. It can be like finishing a sentence or an additional sentence supporting the primary statement.

- Click Edit button on Welcome section.

- Type SUB-HEADLINE. For example "Become the photographer you've always envisioned yourself to be".
2. Add inspiring visuals
Next, you add the hero image (or background video) to the top part of the course website to help visitors understand what you offer.
What does the hero image say about the benefits of your online photography course? Place your potential customer in a scenario you've prepared for them. If you've prepared a course, for example, about making dog portraits, you can make a photo collage or a background video with the final shots. The visuals should be large, crisp, and high-quality.
Use your own photos, or browse online libraries to quickly find inspiring visuals.

Provide more detail about your photography course, learning outcomes, and its value. Clearly stated benefits will persuade most people.
What skills will they learn? How would the course benefit a student? What is the transformation they will go through? What problems do you solve?
The easiest way to highlight benefits is to write a short, punchy, and clear header. Then, add a sub-header supporting the primary statement. In the paragraphs, write shortly about the key learning outcomes, and describe in simple words the value you're providing.
Another way to highlight the benefits of your course is to use an eye-catching photo.
