As I cannot submit a huge installation piece on the submission date, I had to think of another way to hand in my assignment. Initially, I was going to make a book or photo album to show images of my exhibition, but then I realised I need a way to effectively show my film too. I decided to create a portfolio-style website to display my exhibition, film and photography all in one place.
First, I used Wordpress. I have used it before and thought it would be effective for this project. However, after uploading some content, I was not happy with how it looks so much like a blog. I struggled to move the content to exactly where I wanted it, and didn't like the aesthetic of the site. After sharing with a peer and gaining feedback which reaffirmed my own thoughts, I decided to try a new website builder. I moved to Wix, a site I have never use before. Despite this, as soon as I started to build my website, I realised how easy it is. On Wix, you can begin with a template, and then you can delete, add, move and edit everything on the page. I changed all of the headings, buttons, navigation bars, menus and images to suit my own content, and positioned it all to where I wanted it. When I was happy with it, I published it, decided on a URL, and it was good to go. I can also open the editor and change any things I need to before the submission date.
