Podcast Episode 44: This is Alex Vita

There is so much great info shared by Alex in this episode, including the most common mistakes he sees photographers doing on their sites, why user experience can be much more important than SEO, tips on images and optimisation, how you can differentiate yourself from the competition, the importance of personality on your site, and much more…
