For this exercise we discussed about the possibility of
getting a website for ourselves for online exposure and to showcase our online
portfolio. Knowing the costs, benefits, pros and cons for getting an online
portfolio site will help us to understand and to be aware of how things work,
as each site are completely different. As groups we each research a given
portfolio site and to answer questions in regards to whether the website is
free, its monthly price range, etc.
The portfolio site my group was given to look into: Coroflot.com
Free Option?
There is an online application that you must submit and must
be approved before allowing you to get an online portfolio on their network.
Dedicated portfolio
site or general website builder?
It is dedicated and for professional use only.
Stylish clients? What
people use it?
Professionals and specialists. Including established artists
and creators.
Stylish templates?
Professional look?
Simple, limited colour palette (white, black and orange
tone).
How much per month
for custom domain name? E.g. www.janessmith.com
No custom domain name. Unable to identify the monthly cost
due to the online application that is preventing us to look into it further.
What is the default
domain name? E.g. www.janesmith.carbonmade.com
Coroflot.com/”name of user”
Networking?
There is a choice for those who have an online portfolio on
this site to follow each other, though outside of that the website is partnered
with several other online companies as a shared network.
A graph revealing each group’s analyse on what they have
discovered, as well as pointing out the differences each portfolio site offers.
I have not decided on what website I will use to showcase my original artworks, as I would need to do a little more research to find the right one that I personally think will be suitable, in terms of presentation and the aesthetics, as well as what each one will offer such as the monthly price, templates, etc. I would need to be sure on these things first before finally deciding what website i would want to use to showcase my online portfolio, otherwise it will cause some complications if I don't like it and wanting to switch which will be a hassle.
