It is now time to begin fearlessly exploring a handful of website options and variations!

  • 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?
  • Gather up a fresh set of images that loosely represent the type of work you will have on your website.
  • Study up on Cargo Collective, Adobe Portfolio, Squarespace, Weebly, Wix, and Format. You can trial all of these for free before you make them actual live websites with real domains.
  • Explore the themes available to you on all these services and try TWO different explorations.

Clarification: You can try two or three different themes on SquareSpace, you can try one theme on Cargo Collective and one theme on Wix (for example).

I expect that you will lean into different systems/themes and see if they work for you. I expect you to gather up the info and descriptions for the project on your website. I expect you to make wonderful about/contact pages.

Then:

  1. Bring to class TWO or THREE demo links and passwords or present them from your own computer.
  2. Be prepared to show your two explorations in class next week.
