Website Design Elements

Q:

What are the 3 most important design elements to keep in mind when creating an impactful photography website?

A:

Rob Haggart, PhotoFolio: Your typeface, your logo, and your images are all that matter. The typeface should be modern, the logo should be minimal but professionally done, and the images should be the focus of the website. Art Directors love type and bad fonts can ruin great photography.
