[@TheBiteShot]

So very appreciate you sharing it with us!!

14:50 we can't deny that the feet are memorable, that's for sure. Just from the first picture with the spaghetti and feet I instandly remembered him, because he submitted that picture to one of Karl Taylor's food picture critiques. Definitely stood out :D

[@TheBiteShot]

That's amazing!! Big props for memorability!

[@esseerre6302]

hi Roman... thanks for your appreciation to my photo. Yes, you're right. I submitted to a KT critique.

[@ScottRandall]

@@esseerre6302 Your layout is very well done. It has me considering Square Space.

[@esseerre6302]

@@ScottRandall thank you Scott... it's an easy platform to work on and you can customize it as you like it in every aspect of it. Have a good day! Ciao from Italy

[@CSGPhotos]

I felt like it was a play on Finger Foods. It's a good way to add some personal humor to your gallery. Ciao!

[@brigitsteele6043]

Yes to more sales discussions on the channel 🎉

[@user-di2wq8wq4j]

Ahhhh! Thank you so much, Joanie + The Bite Shot team for your critique! I can't wait to implement your feedback and make my website even more tailored to my dream clients. It was super interesting being able to see your feedback for other photographers' websites as well. Forever grateful! 💜

[@vinceknowseverything]

Thank you for the wonderful insight Joanie! It is so interesting to get your perspective of these things! Love the color of your outfit by the way! Your style is on point! 👌🏻✨

[@TheBiteShot]

Why thank you, Vince! 🍀

[@IkeOnoniwu]

I love this video format. Longer than usual, but went by smoothly. As a website designer, my addition to these critiques is, make sure you optimize for mobile devices. These look amazing on a desktop, but might not look so good on mobile, which is more than 65% of device browsing. If people need to scroll a lot, it will increase your bounce rate, and might affect SEO.

[@TheBiteShot]

Such a great point!

[@TheCarmardel]

All of the recommendations you made were on point! Thank you for generously providing your expertise and keen eye. Would love to hear more about your sales skills tips.

Hi Carolynn I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹

[@chrisyfitz]

Such great insights and advice, as always, Joanie. Thank you 🙏

[@TheBiteShot]

Glad it was helpful!

Definitely interested to learn about sales :)

[@emudojo]

I would love to see realistic pricing advice, is specially hard to create budgets most LATAM countries as people think possibly is cheap and something anyone can do well

[@JenniferMooreinMilano]

That is a big fat yes to more sales skills info :)

[@frankuvlkan]

Hi Jennifer how are you doing.

[@FarrinGelisa]

Hi Joanie! When will you be doing another website critique?

[@bluedragonfruitnursery]

Price teaching would be amazingly

[@sarahfleming-diaz275]

Teach me sales, Joani!

[@avatardirect]

Case studies = client work with background info. Projects = personal work that showcases creativity & skill. I think they should remain separated.

[@thearabicdp]

So cool J. How can I register my website? Also I would love to know what theme that Milan photographer's website was built on

[@esseerre6302]

Hi... I'm Roberto, the photographer from Milan. My website is a personal customization of a Squarespace template. Thanks!

[@thearabicdp]

[@mawavoy]

Question. Was web site number 2 for photography or for food styling? Or both?

[@TheBiteShot]

According to his site it only mentioned photography

[@esseerre6302]

Hi Michael. I was the #2 and my site is about my job as a food photographer. have a good day. Ciao from Italy

[@mawavoy]

@@esseerre6302 , thanks. From watching the review. I thought some parts of the gallery like mood for instance, we’re about creating or designing around a theme. , rather than merely creating images around someone else’s theme.

[@esseerre6302]

@@mawavoy Usually, I try to decontextualize food in order to tell its story in a different way than usual. That's why some images may seem strange... like the photos with feet that Joanie noticed. Thanks Michael. Have a nice weekend

[@mawavoy]

@@esseerre6302 , I like your website. Sometimes I just overthink things. Glad you responded. Gives me more insight into life. 👍🏿🙏🏿

[@frankuvlkan]

Hi Grace how are you doing.

[@marcelclaude5438]

What a stupid and unnecessary comments , often think that there are people who don't know what to do to pass the boring time.We live in such difficult times and here you to criticize photos of spaghetti bolognese. There are no more important things to do? ......Live your own life but let others also live as they want.

[@rexskitchen4544]

Oh thank god! This couldn’t of come at a better time. I started a digital agency but I want it to read like a good photographers site off the riff so this will be awesome insight!! Your the best 🫶

[@TheBiteShot]

congrats on the new venture!
