Web portfolios are critical for artists. Even if you are on social media and have a great following, a website on the worldwide web gives you the ability to curate your portfolio and guide your audience through your story and your artwork.
WordPress is great for artists to use as portfolio sites because of the simplicity to start and maintain, is reliable, and looks very professional.
What will be covered
This workshop will help artists to build a website in WordPress, upload images, create contact forms, add text, and organize the online customer experience to make sales and new connections with the target audience. We will also cover some Search Engine Optimization.
