Websites and Online Portfolios

@jsnzart In my opinion though, I think it's still vital to have one. It shows your client that you are invested in this job that you're willing to pay a few bucks to get yourself out there. Of course, there are social media platforms but a personal portfolio website just says professional.

@Geoffrey-Gordon Did you ever make any progress on doing a tutorial/class on this? I am looking into a website at the moment and I would love to take such a class!
Honestly, I have been so swamped, I have not had a chance since the pandemic hit.....

@carlianne I’m with you... tough decision... in my case, it’s not so much spelling... I just feel my name is not very appealing or memorable: Silvia Lopez-Cepero! I wonder if I should come up with an artist name...

@silvialcg Are you kidding me? That sounds like a great name to me!

@Geoffrey-Gordon I tried to name all of my files according to you advice a while back, but I feel like when I upload my photos to my Adobe portfolio site, it gets rid of the names, because when I download them back off of the site, the names are then a bunch of numbers/letters. I can't seem to see the names of my photos anywhere once they are uploaded. Am I missing something here?

@silvialcg I was going to say the same thing as Tessa! You have a great name - very fluid sounding - will look good on book covers too

@TessaW I feel your frustration, this is why I don't like platforms that are not your own because they play by their own rules. The rules that benefit them and not you. Mostly their interest in getting their monthly payment out of you. This is why you should bever invest in a platform that you cannot own. Ant web service that requires a monthly service fee tied to their platforms like Wix, or square space or adobe portfolio is going to serve their own interests and will have limitations on what you can and cannot do. This is why I am putting together a free course for everyone here to show them a better way. It's in development and it's going to take a little time but here is what we are going to cover...
