Hi, i'm a young fine artist. Next year starting my fine art BA and I was hoping over the summer to work on a website.
Now I have no knowledge of this, i once made a tiny website on dreamweaver at school but apart from that. I know what i'm doing with computers and can pick up tutorials pretty fast.
I was wondering firstly what would be the best way to go about this. For a tiny website you can get hosting and a domain for around $30 a year which is all I need.
What would be the best way to create a portfolio website. I've used the pre-existing portfolio sites, and currently some of my work is at www.shownd.com/charliefloyd some of it works really well (such as the sketchbook) but the shown'd logos look unprofessional and the whole thing is impersonal and the same as everyone elses.
Are specific programs better for developing certain types of website? should i attempt dreamweaver or a similar program or has anyone got any better ideas for creating a site? I can use photoshop fairly well and so can create the bits for the site but getting the sizing and making it work could be tricky.
Using pre made sites with a customisable theme could be an option but i've no idea where to start or if looking into them is a good idea. I've looked around for tutorials and found a few things although nothing for a portfolio style site.
Cheers for any help, sorry it's a bit vague i'm just looking for suggestions on easy-ish ways to make it. I have a fair bit of time to learn and create it the only restriction is money.
