Some insight regarding page design: I've recently started my page @theist__man and Ive found that Instagram is a platform where followers highly values the way a page makes their feed look, and I've experienced growth (though small atp) as a result of directly working on this. Things I've done that have reaped benefits:
- create custom reel thumbnails rather than default ones
- Choose a colour scheme for your page
- Take inspiration from your favourite pages, mix and match your favourite elements aesthetically, and create a template for yourself on Canva
- Have a rigid order for your posts, so that it creates a uniform pattern on your page
- Simplicity; too much is overwhelming
That's it. Small things, but I've found go a long way.
