$300M/$330NM
In this step by step workshop, Leeanna will teach students a simple way to create their own artist website, without needing any knowledge whatsover of writing code, with ultra user-friendly Squarespace (squarespace.com) or Wix (Wix.com). Each student will build their own personal portfolio website from start to finish.
Leeanna will guide students every step of the way, teaching about the various features of these options and choose a format to fit their needs.
The goal is for students leave with a professional website that they know how to use confidently – update, add images, and information – no web designer needed!
Students will need to come to the workshop with their own laptop, have purchased their own domain name, and come prepared with at least five jpg images of their art. Please bring a notebook to take notes.
Domain names can be purchased at any Domain/Hosting site (ex: GoDaddy.com). Please purchase your domain name at least two days before the workshop. It’s recommended that you purchase a domain name with your name (easiest for people to remember). Examples: JaneSmith.com, JaneSmithStudio.com, JaneSmithFineArt.com, or JaneSmithArt.com.
