Creating a Website: Portfolio

Today I'm doing my Portfolio Front Page, I created it so I will be able to add there my works throughout a year. My first step is to click on the left hand menu and click on "Pages and Menu". I then went to Portfolio and removed the template collection and associated links.

I then went to the "Add" button and went "Text" and added a Heading and changed the font to Sriracha at 60 pts.

I then added the image of myself and edited it so it fits the page. I did this by uploading my image to Wix and clicking on "Crop and Edit".

I then placed my new image under the heading and added a "button". I did it by going to the plus sign in the menu on the left hand side and then going to "Button" and then dragging and dropping into my page.

I then went to the menu and added a new page which will be my project page for this term I rename it "My Showreel" and then dragged it under the Portfolio and made this into a subpage. I then went back to the button and added a link to the button to my project page.

I then previewed to check that the link worked and that the navigation is good ready for the upload of my project.

I then added a "Back to Portfolio" button on my project page and changed the font and colour to make sure it was clear that this was a button to return to my front portfolio page. I previewed and tested this to make sure it worked.


I then went back to Portfolio Page and edited the button there to be consistent with same font and button and adding my project title I previewed again and checked it worked.

I then tested the gallery by adding an appropriate gallery for my work, in this case it was a showreel so I clicked on the add button and went to Videos.

I chose the YouTube Video as my Video is on my YouTube channel I added and then I tested this out my savings and clicking on Preview and clicking on the video. As I am finishing my final version, I uploaded the one I did while practicing software to learn how to add it to the website so I will know next time. I will then update it with a final one.

I added a new text box by clicking on Add button and pasted the description of my work written in Week 6. I changed the font to be the same and previewed the website.

Lastly, I checked the mobile view I changed the text size and button size to fit the page better. I lined up the title and button so that it was centre aligned and move the video to the top so it was the first thing the viewer saw rather than introduction.

Update 05.12.2023

As I finalised my original project and finished with editing it, I uploaded it firstly on YouTube and then added the link to my Portfolio Page.  

On the above picture you can see how it looks like now. I am happy that I finally finished everything and have my website ready to use.
