Do I need a photo of myself on my website?

November 3, 2020 by Silke Dietz Leave a Comment

The short answer: Yes! As the head of your business, you are the centrepiece. 

We don’t argue about the necessity of having a website, right? As a business woman you know that your website serves as your digital business card, it reflects your personal brand. The vast majority of your potential clients will check out your website before even meeting with you. It is the go-to platform to find out more about the person behind the brand, the one they are going to purchase a product from or request their service. 

In other words your website is an important element in making an impactful first impression. But furthermore, its your opportunity to instantly connect with your visitors, by telling your story throughout the different pages and give your potential clients a chance to resonate with you, so they find reason to come back. And for that, you need to be present. 

On many websites you will find the host only on the ‘about’ page, which is a missed opportunity. Let me explain why:

Home-Page

Imagine you knock on somebody’s door and after the door swings wide open you see … no one. So you wander around the house until you finally find the host. Weird, right? Same goes to your website. Instead of ghosting your visitors, why don’t you greet them with a friendly smile right at the door; your home page?

About-Page

The obvious one, yet often not delivered. My first click on any website is the ‘about’ button, and when I don’t find any face there, but instead some zealous summery of expertise, I am gone. 

People click on the ‘about’ button for a reason. They want to meet YOU! They want to get to know YOU! It really is that simple.

Contact-Page

Hurrah! Your visitor has clicked on ‘contact’. This means he/she wants to engage. Show your audience that you are there, right from the beginning, by sending over a friendly smile. 

In case you ever wondered if you could appear on your own website too often, the answer is no, as long as you make sure to underline your pictures with the respective copy. 

If you have any questions about branding or need help with imagery for your website, please don’t hesitate to drop me an email. I am here for you!

Happy Mother’s Day, Mama. By nature we never st Happy Mother’s Day, Mama.

By nature we never stop being a mother as we never stop being the child to our parents. But of course the relationship changes over the years. Once the kids turn into adults the dynamic and I would dare to say power shifts. Not only have they discovered a long time ago that we parents don‘t know it all, (no need for pretending anymore) they very often DO know anyway and sometimes better. It becomes eye to eye. 

That’s where I am today. You know how much I loved having toddlers. In hindsight it was so much easier, as the saying goes: little children little worries, big children big worries. But I have to be honest, I do enjoy my grownups quite a bit. Meaningful conversations from woman to woman with my daugher (preferably over some nice lunch 😜) and a strong hand when in need from my son. Acknowledging them for the adult they are allows me to be vulnerable, share responsibility, lean on them if needed. That’s a very empowering feeling indeed. 

Looking forward to a fun day out with my family, lots of bubbles and laughters. How does your Sunday look like?

Finally, finally FINALLY. It‘s easier to meet Finally, finally FINALLY. 

It‘s easier to meet up with the pope than with this lovely lady, but we finally did it. Between her super busy schedule, taking care of new mums and their little ones, organising a baby fair and having her own family she found the time to redeem her win. 

Please meet: Kathy, the winner of the International Women‘s Day lucky draw. She is the face and force behind @empowa.sg, the thinking woman‘s postpartum consultant, the new mum and newborn postpartum doula support. In other words, she‘s your go-to person when you‘re expecting. 

We had so much fun during her Profile Edition photoshoot, because as per job description she is not hesitant to name  things by it‘s name while being hands-on. Just what you need, especially when you‘re having your first child. 

Thank you Kathy for your trust and making the shoot so easy. I wish for every expecting mum having you by her side.

While my mind is still in Bali, my body is at my d While my mind is still in Bali, my body is at my desk where I stumbled upon an article about fulfillment with an  exercise to find out what fulfillment means to you. 

I did the exercise and found out that meeting people or just being with people is a huge part of me feeling content. I don’t necessarily need to interact, just being surrounded by people is enough. That said I’m super happy that Singapore now finally is opening up and we can have parties and networking events again without counting numbers. I’ve missed it! 

This is a throwback to 2019 (yes THREE years ago) when meeting many people over loads of food (called buffet, remember those?) was the norm. And now it‘s party time again! Photographing events is my secret passion. DM me if you have something special planned and we can have a chat.
