Assignment

Your assignment for this week is to leverage the discussion from class and resources here on the wiki to locate and try a handful of online portfolio services over the next two weeks. We will review your progress every week as we close in on the best plan for each of you.

You should 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)?

You this Google form to submit your work for the week.
