So this week, I ended up making another website for myself! As I am starting to apply for internships for over the summer, I found that I was in need of a portfolio website, as such, I made one yesterday.
For my website, I used Wix. Personally, I’m not the biggest fan of WordPress because I find it can be overly complicated to set things up how you want them. I also heard from someone else that Wix was easy to use, so I though I’d try it out.
After setting a few things up, I ended up choosing a portfolio template for my website, an it was very easy to set up and customize. All I had to do was upload my images, write a few descriptions, and make an about page (I also customized the background and menus). The design of the template itself is one that I find myself really enjoying. The images all fit together in different sized boxes, so I don’t have to adjust any of the dimensions. All of the different sizes also give it nice visual interest! I also set it up so that you can click on the images to enlarge them and view the title/description.
Overall, what might seem like a difficult task ended up being pretty fun and satisfying to put together; and while WordPress might be nice for a blog, I definitely like Wix for my portfolio.
