Everyone, welcome back.
So the last thing I want to talk about, really, is that what happens when you have your content right
and you have the imagery picked out, like, what do you do?
Like, you know, how to code.
Do you want some website builder to really help you?
And I'm going to give you the rundown a couple of different options that you can go through when actually
posting your portfolio website.
So last a video, we talked about Ryan Scott and his kind of case studies, and they're really thorough.
They're really beautiful.
I love them.
And I can see that like this this person has a lot of experience.
They know what they're talking about when it comes to just like coming up with thoughtful solutions.
Now, they've actually used Squarespace to build a website.
They haven't coated it themselves.
It's very simple.
So they've used Squarespace.
So you can tell by that little icon up there.
And Squarespace is a great way for you to just come up with a quick design template and just get it
live really quickly without worrying about it being responsive, without worrying about coding, without
worrying about all that kind of fuss.
Now, I've used Squarespace in the past.
I don't anymore, but I would definitely recommend it to somebody who just wants to get something up
and running, didn't want to fiddle with code.
You can if you want to, but they provide beautiful templates for you to just showcase, like, your
work really, really easily and make it look beautiful.
Now they have their own way of hosting websites, so you don't even have to worry about that as well.
They have, like I said, a bunch of different templates.
So if we go through kind of their template over here, we can't just.
Different types of things that we may want over here, so design.
Showcase work and expertise.
Right now, where are you in your process?
So I think I am I'm just going to replace my site with one from Squarespace here, the different types
of that kind of portfolio based sites that they offer.
And all of them are nice.
Like this one's really nice to choose this one.
So let's not preview Nolan.
And you can see what it looks like, so we have an artwork section, very easy, nice little animation.
So I'm going to click one.
And really, it's just really easy to kind of place and drop content into something like Squarespace
once again, like it's already responsive outside the box is actually kind of looks like my site, which
is really funny.
But I would definitely recommend something like Squarespace for people who don't want to fiddle with
anything or any problems with code and stuff like that.
And it's really nice and aesthetically pleasing right out of the box.
So that is one option.
Squarespace, there are other options similar to Squarespace, like WordPress and stuff like that,
but I digress.
I think Squarespace is probably one of the better options out there.
Just four out of the box functionality is something like GitHub pages.
So this is what I use.
I've coated my own website and I just hosted on GitHub and I've turned that repository into an actual
website.
So that's what GitHub pages does.
So you can host it there for free.
It's just really, really easy.
A lot of times people have trouble with like, you know, I host my website, where do I like access
all my files if I want to kind of redesign it or like update it and stuff like that.
And, you know, the thing about pages is like if you're not constantly coding and like if you're not
in that realm, which I'm not anymore, like, I haven't really updated my portfolio website in some
time and I may actually switch back to something like Squarespace just for the the actual ease of use.
But in this case, Gaute Pages is really great.
If you're already integrated with, like the ecosystem and you've already familiar with it, and you
can easily just kind of upload all your files there and create a public website and it'll automatically
be hosted.
So easy way to do that.
And you can also, like, easily download those files and run them in your terminal and use whatever
code editor or Taxotere that you have.
Whether that be something like Sublime or Adam, it doesn't matter.
I mean, you can just easily edit and then push once again to that repository and have update and be
live.
So if you're into that, if you want a more tactile approach to building your website, this is what
I would definitely use.
But like I said, if you don't want that, you don't want to just go with something like Squarespace
where you can just automatically get your website and your portfolio up and running easily.
So that's how I would approach getting your website up and running really quickly and.
Yeah, go ahead.
Go out there.
And remember, I said about content like, you don't need any projects, only several, and build some
beautiful case studies and beautiful websites for potential employers and just for colleagues to kind
of look at and give you some feedback.
