Crafting a Compelling Team Page: Why It Matters and How to Get It Right

Prospective clients often review your "Our Staff" page to get a sense of who they’ll be working with, and their impression of your team can influence their decision to reach out. Here’s how to create a polished and professional team page that leaves a lasting impact.

Why Your Team Page Matters

Your team page isn’t just a directory—it’s a chance to tell a story about your company and the people behind it. A well-executed team page helps:

• Build Trust: Seeing the faces behind the brand makes your company feel more transparent and approachable.
• Set Expectations: Prospective clients can gauge expertise and professionalism before engaging.
• Enhance Branding: A cohesive, well-designed page reinforces your brand’s credibility and attention to detail.

The Key Elements of a Great Team Page

A compelling team page should be visually cohesive, well-organized, and informative. To achieve this, focus on these key elements:

High-Quality, Consistent Headshots

First impressions matter, and inconsistent or low-quality photos can undermine the professionalism of your business. Ensure that:

• All team members have professional headshots—or at least professional looking—taken by the same photographer.
• Lighting, background, and framing remain consistent across all photos.
• Images should be high resolution and properly oriented for how they will be shown on the website—ex. horizontal vs. vertical vs. square.
• Use individual headshots instead of group photos—this makes it easier to update the page if someone leaves or a new team member joins.

Uniform Bio Write-Ups

If your team page includes biographies, they should follow a consistent format to maintain a professional and polished look. Consider these guidelines:

• Keep the length uniform—one or two paragraphs per team member.
• Include relevant details such as role, expertise, and key contributions.
• Maintain a consistent tone and writing style across all bios.
• Optionally, add a personal touch (hobbies, fun fact) to make the team more relatable.

Clear and Organized Layout

A cluttered or poorly structured team page can be overwhelming. Improve readability by:

• Organizing team members into categories (e.g., Leadership, Sales, Support).
• Using a grid or list format for easy navigation.
• Ensuring the page is mobile-friendly and loads quickly. We make sure every client's Team page is optimally built.

Personalization Without Overload

While professional presentation is key, allowing some personality to shine through can make your team more approachable. Consider adding the following to humanize your team:

• Short, engaging quotes from team members about their roles.
• Links to LinkedIn or other social media profiles for further professional insights.
• Alternate or candid office shots to add a human touch.
