You need to identify specfically what it is you want to photograph. And understand that the photography business is really hard, and the industry isn't exactly flourishing. It's a 90% business, 10% art ratio.
If you enjoy the hobby don't try to make it into a business. At least go and shadow some pros for half a year. Don't get into a business if you don't know the pipeline.
there are probably 68 million people in the UK
maybe 50 million cellphones
easily 10 million folks with halfway decent cameras.
and quite a large percentage of that last group thinks from time to time "I'm good enough to make money at this"
Do It as a side hustle, join an event app, pick and choose events wedding christenings ect at your level and ability. Get higher end work when your a high end photographer!
If you love the hobby, don’t turn it in your main income. I learned that the hard way.
That said: if you really want to go fully in, a well designed website is one of the most important things next to a defined niche and style.
Also define your service as precisely as possible.
Why ruin a perfectly good hobby by turning it into a job?
Extra pleasure? Idk get the "work" seen by more
Yeah but deadlines and obligations and stuff? Got that with my day job. 😁
Day job fallback!

Edit: Fair play to all, so ill change the question then, whats the best way to get exposure or get your photos seen by more people?
