Images that don't reinforce your message are decoration. Great visual content shows evidence, builds trust, communicates quality, and connects emotionally - before a visitor reads a single word of your copy.
“Images on this page are generic stock photos that don't show real people, real work, or real outcomes. There is no visual evidence of quality or differentiation.”

The Visual Content Problem - Why Stock Photos Are Killing Your Conversions

The Living Website Framework
What this dimension covers
Common Failures
Smiling strangers in stock photos signal "template website" to savvy buyers. Real photos of you, your work, and your process signal authenticity and build credibility before a word is read.
Before/afters, finished work, client results, screenshots, and process photos are the most powerful trust-builders on a service or product page. Without them, you're asking for belief without evidence.
A 60-second founder video outperforms 500 words of copy in almost every test. Video signals confidence, builds rapport, and answers the "can I trust this person?" question faster than text ever can.
What a strong Dimension 07 looks like
Authentic photography - At least 3 photos of real work, real people, or real outcomes - no generic stock images.
Visual outcome evidence - Before/after images, project photos, or client results visible on key service pages.
Video or moving content - At least one video (founder intro, testimonial, or process overview) on the homepage.
Image optimisation - All images compressed to under 200kb without visible quality loss; WebP format where possible.
Alt-text and captioning - All meaningful images have descriptive alt text; complex images have visible captions.
