This is a question that seems to come up time and time again when people are agreeing the design for their website. Sometimes photos of premises, staff and surrounding areas are essential. If you own a Bed and Breakfast for example, then people will want to see what the place looks like, surroundings and possibly who is running it, with other types of business this may not be as essential.
Many companies are now finding new and innovative ways to create an “our team” page by using caricatures or hand drawn images. This is often used for a design company or for a business that wants to show that they are modern and a little bit different. This can also be a great way of talking about your staff without having to put their photo up which many employees are unsettled with. Have a play about with the contact us or team page and see what works for your website.
