Guide to the Perfect Website Pictures

When it comes to building a great-looking website, the photos you use can make a massive difference. Whether you’re showing off a new driveway, patio, or anything else, good pictures help your work stand out and give potential customers confidence in what you do.

Here are a few tips on getting the right kind of pictures for your site:

The Landscape Rule: Portrait pictures might look great on your phone, but on a website, they just don’t fit well. Stick to landscape format – it fills the screen better and keeps everything looking neat.

Pictures for Projects: For the best results, always take clear before, during, and after photos of your project from the same point and angle. This makes it easy to showcase the full transformation and progress.

Say No to Screenshots: We sometimes get sent phone screenshots instead of the actual photo – not ideal! They often come with a black border around them, and they can look grainy or low quality. Always send the original image straight from the camera or phone gallery.

Make Sure the Camera is in Focus: This might sound obvious, but blurry photos can ruin a great project shot. Take a second to check the photo before moving on – sharp, clear images make your work look even better.

Keep Tools & Fingers Out of Frame: Nobody wants to see a hammer on the ground or a thumb over the lens. Before you snap the photo, have a quick tidy-up and make sure nothing unwanted is in the shot. Clean and clutter-free photos always work best.
