Your assignment for this week is to leverage the discussion from class and resources [[Online:Site Building (CMS) Solutions|Site Building (CMS) Solutions]] & [[Online:Email Hosting Services|Email Hosting Services]] to locate and try a handful of online portfolio services over the next few weeks. We will review your progress every week as we close in on the best plan for each of you.

You will be trying multiple website options (Squarespace, Wix, Cargo, etc..) and/or many themes.

'''Few things to keep in mind:'''
* Do you need project galleries or lots of different images in a flat container?
* What are the most logical navigation and project list options for you?
* How well does your theme work on mobile?
* Does your website design match your personal identity (Logo, type, color and all)?

'''For next week your assignment is:'''
* Look at a handful of illustrators' websites (link above), take note of what you like and what you do not.
* If you have a website already, go look at it! What do you want to change? Does it look like the rest of your self-promotion work? Do you need to change the way you are curating or organizing your work?
* Begin to craft a plan for what you think will be ideal.
