1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,920
Everyone, welcome back.

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:07,440
So the last thing I want to talk about, really, is that what happens when you have your content right

3
00:00:07,450 --> 00:00:10,230
and you have the imagery picked out, like, what do you do?

4
00:00:10,230 --> 00:00:11,820
Like, you know, how to code.

5
00:00:12,100 --> 00:00:14,820
Do you want some website builder to really help you?

6
00:00:15,100 --> 00:00:19,170
And I'm going to give you the rundown a couple of different options that you can go through when actually

7
00:00:19,170 --> 00:00:20,610
posting your portfolio website.

8
00:00:20,850 --> 00:00:27,690
So last a video, we talked about Ryan Scott and his kind of case studies, and they're really thorough.

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:28,560
They're really beautiful.

10
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:29,310
I love them.

11
00:00:29,310 --> 00:00:32,940
And I can see that like this this person has a lot of experience.

12
00:00:32,940 --> 00:00:38,210
They know what they're talking about when it comes to just like coming up with thoughtful solutions.

13
00:00:38,550 --> 00:00:43,320
Now, they've actually used Squarespace to build a website.

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,880
They haven't coated it themselves.

15
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:45,990
It's very simple.

16
00:00:46,590 --> 00:00:48,300
So they've used Squarespace.

17
00:00:48,570 --> 00:00:50,340
So you can tell by that little icon up there.

18
00:00:51,600 --> 00:01:00,030
And Squarespace is a great way for you to just come up with a quick design template and just get it

19
00:01:00,030 --> 00:01:05,880
live really quickly without worrying about it being responsive, without worrying about coding, without

20
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,310
worrying about all that kind of fuss.

21
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,430
Now, I've used Squarespace in the past.

22
00:01:11,460 --> 00:01:16,230
I don't anymore, but I would definitely recommend it to somebody who just wants to get something up

23
00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:17,670
and running, didn't want to fiddle with code.

24
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:23,730
You can if you want to, but they provide beautiful templates for you to just showcase, like, your

25
00:01:23,730 --> 00:01:27,600
work really, really easily and make it look beautiful.

26
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:34,110
Now they have their own way of hosting websites, so you don't even have to worry about that as well.

27
00:01:34,410 --> 00:01:36,780
They have, like I said, a bunch of different templates.

28
00:01:36,780 --> 00:01:41,070
So if we go through kind of their template over here, we can't just.

29
00:01:45,860 --> 00:01:50,480
Different types of things that we may want over here, so design.

30
00:01:51,470 --> 00:01:54,080
Showcase work and expertise.

31
00:01:55,180 --> 00:01:56,650
Right now, where are you in your process?

32
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:04,380
So I think I am I'm just going to replace my site with one from Squarespace here, the different types

33
00:02:04,380 --> 00:02:06,100
of that kind of portfolio based sites that they offer.

34
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:06,910
And all of them are nice.

35
00:02:06,910 --> 00:02:08,400
Like this one's really nice to choose this one.

36
00:02:10,050 --> 00:02:11,730
So let's not preview Nolan.

37
00:02:13,010 --> 00:02:19,310
And you can see what it looks like, so we have an artwork section, very easy, nice little animation.

38
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,270
So I'm going to click one.

39
00:02:23,030 --> 00:02:30,080
And really, it's just really easy to kind of place and drop content into something like Squarespace

40
00:02:30,380 --> 00:02:35,630
once again, like it's already responsive outside the box is actually kind of looks like my site, which

41
00:02:35,630 --> 00:02:36,350
is really funny.

42
00:02:37,070 --> 00:02:42,710
But I would definitely recommend something like Squarespace for people who don't want to fiddle with

43
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:45,650
anything or any problems with code and stuff like that.

44
00:02:46,220 --> 00:02:50,290
And it's really nice and aesthetically pleasing right out of the box.

45
00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:52,190
So that is one option.

46
00:02:52,190 --> 00:02:56,510
Squarespace, there are other options similar to Squarespace, like WordPress and stuff like that,

47
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:58,500
but I digress.

48
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,490
I think Squarespace is probably one of the better options out there.

49
00:03:01,490 --> 00:03:05,990
Just four out of the box functionality is something like GitHub pages.

50
00:03:06,350 --> 00:03:07,490
So this is what I use.

51
00:03:07,490 --> 00:03:13,010
I've coated my own website and I just hosted on GitHub and I've turned that repository into an actual

52
00:03:13,010 --> 00:03:13,520
website.

53
00:03:13,850 --> 00:03:15,380
So that's what GitHub pages does.

54
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,420
So you can host it there for free.

55
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,180
It's just really, really easy.

56
00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:25,790
A lot of times people have trouble with like, you know, I host my website, where do I like access

57
00:03:25,790 --> 00:03:30,890
all my files if I want to kind of redesign it or like update it and stuff like that.

58
00:03:30,890 --> 00:03:36,140
And, you know, the thing about pages is like if you're not constantly coding and like if you're not

59
00:03:36,140 --> 00:03:41,540
in that realm, which I'm not anymore, like, I haven't really updated my portfolio website in some

60
00:03:41,540 --> 00:03:46,340
time and I may actually switch back to something like Squarespace just for the the actual ease of use.

61
00:03:46,910 --> 00:03:49,010
But in this case, Gaute Pages is really great.

62
00:03:49,010 --> 00:03:54,200
If you're already integrated with, like the ecosystem and you've already familiar with it, and you

63
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,660
can easily just kind of upload all your files there and create a public website and it'll automatically

64
00:03:59,660 --> 00:04:00,320
be hosted.

65
00:04:00,980 --> 00:04:02,750
So easy way to do that.

66
00:04:02,900 --> 00:04:09,290
And you can also, like, easily download those files and run them in your terminal and use whatever

67
00:04:09,290 --> 00:04:11,570
code editor or Taxotere that you have.

68
00:04:11,570 --> 00:04:15,680
Whether that be something like Sublime or Adam, it doesn't matter.

69
00:04:15,740 --> 00:04:22,190
I mean, you can just easily edit and then push once again to that repository and have update and be

70
00:04:22,190 --> 00:04:22,580
live.

71
00:04:22,580 --> 00:04:26,690
So if you're into that, if you want a more tactile approach to building your website, this is what

72
00:04:26,690 --> 00:04:28,640
I would definitely use.

73
00:04:28,910 --> 00:04:33,170
But like I said, if you don't want that, you don't want to just go with something like Squarespace

74
00:04:33,170 --> 00:04:37,480
where you can just automatically get your website and your portfolio up and running easily.

75
00:04:38,060 --> 00:04:42,260
So that's how I would approach getting your website up and running really quickly and.

76
00:04:42,530 --> 00:04:43,430
Yeah, go ahead.

77
00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:44,090
Go out there.

78
00:04:44,090 --> 00:04:50,060
And remember, I said about content like, you don't need any projects, only several, and build some

79
00:04:50,060 --> 00:04:55,730
beautiful case studies and beautiful websites for potential employers and just for colleagues to kind

80
00:04:55,730 --> 00:04:57,200
of look at and give you some feedback.
