Photo-stylist Lisi has an incredibly bright, colorful, and eye-catching website. We just love the pop in her images and the way it draws us in and makes us keep clicking – we had to share it with you as our featured website this week.

Check out the sneak peak below and head on over to www.lisidesigns.com to see the full site!

Q: How would you describe the aesthetic of your website in three words?

LD: I would describe my website as colorful, simple-clean, and stylish.

Q: How do you choose the photos that you display on your homepage?

LD: I select images that represent me. As a stylist I receive images from different sources and for that reason, I have two ways of selecting the images that will go on my site. When the images are either from a client or a photographer I make my selection when I feel a profound connection with the image. I don’t necessarily select an image because I worked on it or even because it’s published. Sometimes in the same story there is an overwhelming amount of variations of the same image so I select the image that speaks to me…the one that makes me the happiest. When there is an image that I personally photographed and styled, I choose the image that I connect with and that feels good. I call it “complete” when I don’t get tired of staring at it. I also use the same strategy when I rotate images out of the website. If I’m tired of looking at the image, it’s time to rotate it or time to replace it.

Q: How often do you update your website?

LD: As soon as I finish a job that I’m super proud of, I just cannot wait to add the new images to my site. So, with that being said, as soon as the images are ready I make the time to include them in the site. Sometimes as often as weekly.

Q: What is your favorite feature that liveBooks offers?

LD: My favorite feature that liveBooks offers has to be the editSuite and the navigation. In my industry when looking for talent you only have a minute to look through hundreds of websites, so having an easy-to-navigate structure is a plus for a client; you really want that person to concentrate on the illustrated work.

Q: What’s one piece of advice you’d offer to someone designing their website?

LD: To somebody designing their website I would suggest to look at sites that they like and gather a list of “whys.” Then contact a support specialist at liveBooks to discuss the design. liveBooks has an incredible amount of great templates that are simple and easy to manage. Another piece of advice is to keep the web design simple. At times a simply designed template and a good support specialist is all that’s needed or at least a great start.
