Photography is often described as the next best thing after paintings. The love of photography has aided the growth of smartphones and their high-quality cameras. Even with the democratization of photography, professional photographers are never looked down on.

How do you build an impressive website?

Here are a few features you’d need to look for in a CMS for maintaining a photography website.

1. Workflow

How do you manage your photographers? While expecting them to stick to their desks might not be the best idea, it can get difficult to maintain workflow and access.

With a smart CMS, you can set access, roles and restrictions for all your team. This helps invite more freelancers and widen your team without having to worry.

2. Easy to collaborate

Your team of writers and photographers can now work together directly on the bold CMS. You can distribute responsibilities and it doesn't have to affect the pace of the story.

3. Image resolution

Very basic, we know. But in case it slips out, always remember you’d want to set a standard resolution for your website. Bold, for instance, helps you drag and drop high-resolution images.

The better the resolution, the better the experience is. Bold also helps you maintain an image gallery, this means you can add to your collection at your convenience and have them uploaded where relevant later.

4. Responsive

Does your CMS provide you with instant previews? Bold does! Check out what the story looks like for your mobile audience with a click. This helps you give a uniform experience across all devices. You can also set focus appropriately.

5. Narrative options

While your photograph is still, your website doesn’t have to. Using visual or video story templates will help you keep the content diverse without affecting the essence of your content.

6. Make it social
