What website designs attract Photo Buyers?

Posted by Hub on February 22, 2009 at 4:57 PM

A question often asked by photographers selling their images on the Internet is, "What kind of web site do Photo Buyers most want to see?"  Well, PhotoShelter did us all a favor by surveying over 580 buyers of photography to get their honest opinions.  Best of all, the results of this survey are free to everyone!


PhotoShelter's survey starts of with two headline findings:


"- 77% of the buyers surveyed won't often watch a flash slideshow.  And 96% get livid when they need to watch a website intro before seeing you images.

- 50% of the buyers will give up if your site takes longer than 10 seconds to load.  Take 15 seconds and you'll lose 71% of your visitors."


Go to PhotoShelter's website and pick up your copy of this eye opening report.  It is guarnteed to change the way you look at your own website!
