NEW PORTFOLIO SITE

[TessaW]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz "Old friends" was supposed to be a compliment, and sounded very positive in my head. I hope it didn't sound like an insult! Lol. I just meant it's fun to see some familiar pieces and it makes me feel special to have seen some of them as WIPS.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@TessaW oh, no! I actually didn’t see it as an insult as well. I totally understand what you mean.

@Nyrryl-Cadiz I think it looks more clean than bare

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@idid thank you! Yup, I got it from my agent but I completed it last May. We’re just waiting for it’s release. I’m not sure when tho. I’ll have to ask my agent again. I am however working on my own book that I plan to crowdfund on March. Let’s cross our fingers that it goes without a hitch.

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Sound cool! Best of luck for launching your book!

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@idid you too!

Hi Nyrryl

Looking good

Just a few pointers if I may, a little SEO wouldn't hurt:

1. Links - Rename links of actual pages, even though the menu items stay the same
   nyrrylcadiz.com/about change to about_nyrryl_cadiz_professional_illustrator
   and "books-and-projects to childrens_books-and-projects"
   and "work" portfolio_nyrryl_cadiz_professional_childrens_book_illustrator
2. Images
   Rename images... instead of "9d861ff9-5690-4c04-99fb-612cd8c2f1b3/65f5caa5-94d3-4fc7-b06f-0757bd50aa42_rw_1200.jpg" images should be renamed like so "kids_scene_playing_swings_ castle_pretend_play_nyrryl_cadiz_childrens_book_illustrator.jpg
3. Call to action
   At the bottom of each page, I would put a call to action button " Work with me", link it to contact page
4. Footer
   You need to put something like " Copyright 2020 Nyrryl Cadiz | All works displayed are prohibited for resuse without permision "

@Geoffrey-Gordon thanks! This is very helpful

@cristamay @K-Flagg thanks guys!

[cszoltan]

Alright Nyrryl, Congrats! I just checked it out, I think the most useful thing these days is to have All of your best illustrations in one place and scroll able just like on Instagram.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@cszoltan i agree

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Geoffrey-Gordon my agent taught me #2. I’ve been doing it for some time now. I might have even named my images up to 50 words.

Really great looking site! I love the bright colors and how cohesive and clean everything is.

Did you say that you're using Adobe Portfolio to host your site? I'm on Squarespace, but think I want something closer to your template eventually.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@JoshuaDages thanks! yes, I use adobe portfolios. it has its limitations but it's really cheap so it's worth the try. If you already have an adobe plan, Adobe portfolios is practically free. You just have to buy your own domain which can cost at $8.88 per year.

It looks awesome. I love the clean look of your site. It really puts all the emphasis on your work. Congratulations!
