Hi Guys,
New around here so thought I would say Hello first. My names Aden, im one of the photographers over at Henden. Recently I've been getting rather frustrated at our website, its just not up to standard comparing with the quality of work we like to produce. Due to my amounts of free time in the week I have plenty of time to do things on my own and one of these is teaching myself website design.
Our current website which you can see here : http://www.hendenweddings.co.uk/
This was my first design using prophoto in wordpress. We had the idea we wanted the website to be simple drawing more attention to the photograph's. Ever since though we have had a substantial drop in organic google results (this is another area I'm planning to focus on).
My plan is to produce a website that ticks the following
- Clean design that sets itself apart from the rest - nothing like the template websites most photographers use.
- Rich in SEO so we rank highly in the target areas.
- Ease of viewing for our galleries/portfolio
- Links to social media well.
- Fast loading and mobile friendly.
So far I have come up with this design in Photoshop.

I would love some advice on the design I have come up with so far, or maybe an alternative direction I should take? I feel I have a ton of things I can learn from everyone here and if there is anything I could offer in return with regards to photography - im always around via private messaging!
