• Website project week one review - Full class}

Assignment

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. Each of the options above will let you explore/test a website design and generate a custom URL that you can share with others/me for review. Some of them will also create a preview code or password for when you want to send it to somebody for review.

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.

Like last week:

1. Gather up TWO demo links and passwords or present in class.
2. Use this link chop.is/2025-web-submit-2 to submit your work
3. Be prepared to show your two explorations in class next week.
