Setting Up A Wordpress Website For Artists - Free Course

korilynneillo

WOW! All I can say is THANK YOU for getting this set up! What a cool project. It definitely fills a niche that's... pretty empty right now - it's been very difficult to find resources to build a site from scratch as an independent illustrator. I definitely look forward to the launch!

@Geoffrey-Gordon That's amazing and I think very needed. Honestly, you should sell this! The value it's providing is big!

Geoffrey Gordon

@NessIllustration I considered that however, one of the most important thing I am learning in art is relationships. I don't have many as I am new to this realm. I want to be genuine and open and help others, I believe it will come back to me in some shape or form. I will probably learn some lessons from this exercise that I can apply in the future.

Insta

Thanks Geoffrey! I saw on your website that you plugged instgram in. Is that also part of this tutorial ? if not, how does that work?

Have you tried google Sites? vs Wordpress? I wrote a few html/css scripts and used them on Google site, but apparently they on purpose made it difficult to plug in certain types of galleries ......

@Geoffrey-Gordon Thank you!

j.sienkowski

@Geoffrey-Gordon This would be amazing!

Geoffrey Gordon

@idid Yes that can be part of the course too, it's easy to implement and you won't even need to know any code, just your username. WordPress makes this easy

@Geoffrey-Gordon
maybe also a little bit of scripting/coding for those programs, particularly if there is any cons/limitation of their scripting interface or scripting function. thanks much!

Hello!! The agenda looks fantastic ! I am highly interested!
I am more of a tourist here* (real amateur doing art on the side) but tried (and failed) to build my own website. Would I be eligible to participate? I can throw some dollar amount into the tip jar!

(*) well... touring for 2 years now!!

Geoffrey Gordon

Thank you all for your comments, there is definitely a need, so I have begun the process of creating this resource. @Julia yes this course will be available to all in the SVS community. I will update progress bit by bit as I create this course.

Coley

Absolutely! Sounds wonderful.

burvantill

Oh my gosh yes!!!! That would be unbelievably generous and helpful and so welcome!!

Geoffrey Gordon

@burvantill Thanks, as one of the moderators, I will need your help to notify all members on the forum that it is available once completed. This will be open to everyone here on the SVS forum.

Geoffrey Gordon

I am pushing hard to have it ready by the first of October.

Rachel Horne

@Geoffrey-Gordon Hi there, I currently have a website with Squarespace which I pay for but I really like my website address, do you think this is something I can take with me if I leave them? Thank you!
