My Portfolio Website

My Portfolio Website

I will be creating my portfolio website. In today's lesson, we have discussed websites, we have watched the work of other artists to get inspiration. We discussed legal and ethical issues regarding web presence. We started to create a website using Wix.com software. Firstly I have to choose the layout that fits my progression route - English and Spanish language. I have to bear in mind that the design should look professional as this is my portfolio. My assignments for today are to create a homepage with images, write a biography to my About me page, and include copyright details on the website. I will add some screenshots from the process of my work.

First I sign in to Wix.com:

 Next part is to add Home Page, Gallery Page, Contact Page and About me Page and to delete unnecessary tools

I can change the font, size and color of any text I put into my website

Now I will put the MENU bar to the right side of my website:

I can customize my Menu bar - change the design, size, color and font

Later I worked on header and footer design

Also I will look into colors using Adobe Colors software:

There I found color palette analogic to my dark blue color, every color has code that I can put into the design of my website

At the end I'll show how I add the copyright information:

In my opinion, Wix.com's digital software is easy and convenient for beginners. Especially the fact I have never created a website before my work on that run smoothly and well. There were many thematic templates and the layout of the website is easy to follow. I like the sort of colors I have used. They will look professional and trustworthy due to my work. Then I will work on the further customization of my  website. In the next few posts I will show the process of my work on Home Page, About me, Gallery and Contact Page and make further customization of my website.
