Why you need an art portfolio website (even in 2021)

Don't be shy, click the link so you can get started on creating your own website! ✨ https://www.wix.com/bianabova ✨

Thank you so much to Wix for sponsoring this video! Today, I'll be discussing every possible thing you need/want to know about creating your own art portfolio website including: why you need an art portfolio website, what makes a good—and bad—art portfolio website, and how to make the website yourself. I'll be using my old (ugly, terrible, atrocious) website as an example of what-not-to-do and I'll be showing off my new website. I'll also be answering popular website-related questions such as, "Do I need to include my resume?" and, "What if I have two different styles/portfolios?" This video is my best attempt at helping every artist—regardless of medium, subject matter, or experience—create a professional art portfolio website.

I'm honestly so relieved that Wix reached out to me when they did because Y I K E S my old website needed a revamp!! It's important that your website reflects you as an artist, not just in what images you choose to share online, but also the general branding and design. And...mine no longer fit those requirements 😬 But it's okay, my website is now super-fresh, very "me," and is ready to attract some clients 😤
