Overview

In this class you will learn how to create a portfolio website with Squarespace. It will be based out of a template, but I will show you how you can tweak and personalise your template if you wish to do so.

To create a website can feel like a huge task, but I’m here to show you that it doesn’t need to be like that and that you don’t need to spend months on creating your website. It can actually just take a few days, once you’ve got the hang of it.

Your website is the base of your marketing channels and to have a nice looking, functional website to present your work is a must nowadays.

This is a class for you who want’s to learn how to create a simple portfolio website. You don’t need to be tech savvy. We won’t use any coding. You can be a complete beginner and you don’t need any previous experience in creating websites to take this class.
