1. Wow factor – The purpose of taking photographs and making them available online, is to showcase your talent and wow your audience.
2. Functionality – It should serve it’s purpose. If you want to sell your images, it should have a way of integrating a payment system. If you want people to share and tweet your images, make it shareable. Design and Function should co-exist together and not sacrifice one for the other.
3. Affordability – I wouldn’t buy a wordpress theme that costs thousands of dollars. Unless of course it was redesigned and customized to suite your needs. Then that’s fine.
4. Responsive Design – Because more and more people are using their mobile phones over their desktops in the last few years, implementing a responsive design in your website is a must. Responsive design allows you to have a website that matches the screen resolution of the device. This way, you’re images and website doesn’t act funny
5. Ease of use – You want to take photographs and showcase them. A great wordpress theme for photographers should have awesome features but is still easy to use.
