Self promo - websites

websites

bechance doesn't count

consistent application of branding
curated selection of your work
an engaging bio
include contact details and relevant socials
inbound and outbound links must function
mailto link
give your projects context with some smart copy

either build or continue to refine a custom/template site

Squarespace
Persona.co
Cargo Collective
Adobe Portfolio
Ready Mag
Format
Fabrik

many have free trials - make sure live during assessment

inspiration: siteinspire.com, awwwards.com, goodweb.design, readymag.com/explore
pro sites: caller koster, fanqiao wang, jules morin, zack Wellen, mariano pascual. Roberta donativo
student sites: syddharth, Laurie, lorna Milligan, ami vadi, ellie main

image quality - sharp - not too big, same colour background, image consistency (switched colour on home page)

From this session it is clear that I need to work on my already exiting website that I have made with Adobe Portfolio thus far, making sure that the preset isn't a stereotypical overused one and to make sure the images are consistent. The biggest takeaway which I have learnt is to have clever copy which should be the same style on each project as I am aware that each project reads different at the minute.
