Alex Vita of www.foregroundweb.com helps photographers grow their business with a great web presence, in two ways:
- He either builds websites for them, he has almost ten years of experience, having worked on over 200 websites for photographers from 25 countries
- He helps and teaches photographers to improve their online businesses themselves through some of the best educational content you'll find including articles, his newsletter and resources.
He also does website tear-downs, SEO audits, showing photographers where they need to improve plus consulting & strategy calls.
My first contact with Alex was for episode 108 of this podcast – where the content he shared is just as relevant today. Not long after that interview, Alex became my go to guy for anything website related. He is an absolute wizard when it comes to anything online.
In this interview, Alex shares EVERYTHING you need for a successful photography website. This is the A-Z for any photographer looking to have a photography website that ranks well and converts visitors to clients… everything!

Firstly, it's confirmation that I'm on the right track with the interviews and that they really are helping you improve your photography business. That's awesome!
Secondly, iTunes is the biggest search engine when it comes to podcasts and it's your reviews and ratings that help other photographers find PhotoBizX. More listeners means more interviews and ultimately a better show.
