As we enter 2025, A static website may not be enough to capture and retain your audience’s attention. We’ve seen it happen on social media channels, visuals have become more focused on video and movement to keep audiences engaged.

The same can be said about your website site. Adding motion can make your site more engaging and interactive, encouraging visitors to stay longer and explore more. With PhotoBiz's latest updates, including new scrolling animations, roll-over effects, and a video banner that automatically adjusts to screen size on both desktop and mobile, enhancing your website is easier than ever.

Here are some creative ways to incorporate motion into your photography website:

A dynamic hero video banner is the first thing visitors see when they land on your website. PhotoBiz now allows you to integrate fixed-size video banners that adapt to any screen, whether on mobile or desktop. This makes it easy to create a bold, cinematic introduction to your site. Add text and buttons to really make a stellar look.

Example for Wedding Photographers:
Showcase intimate snippets from weddings, like the first look or first dance, with a video banner that instantly captivates your audience and let it loop like an animation to add visual flair to your website.

Parallax scrolling is an effect that when you scroll down the page the image element appears to be underneath and moves as you scroll. For websites, this creates a sense of depth by allowing background images to move at different speeds than foreground elements as users scroll. With PhotoBiz’s user-friendly interface, adding parallax effects has never been simpler. This feature can give your site a modern, sleek design that keeps users engaged.

Example for Senior Photographers:
Design dynamic homepages using scrolling elements that combine text, image blocks, and banners. Arrange your senior photos in a checkerboard pattern to add depth and create an engaging, visually captivating layout.

Add subtle motion to your site with hover effects, which create an interactive experience when users move their cursor over images or buttons. PhotoBiz offers customizable hover effects, from image zoom, blur and more, that bring your galleries to life.

Example for Boudoir Photographers:
Use hover effects on a list item block to emphasize links to your portfolio, booking page, and investment info. You can make the image zoom on hover and the button rollover to a different color.

Videos are one of the most engaging forms of content, and PhotoBiz makes it easy to embed them seamlessly on your site. Whether embedding from platforms like YouTube or Vimeo, you can use video to showcase your work, client testimonials, or behind-the-scenes footage.

Example for Wedding Photographers:
A highlight reel of wedding celebrations can give potential clients an immersive look at your style and storytelling abilities.
