Howdy doody all,
Haven't been here in a while. I've popped back to ask how you guys deal with building your websites? I've been using mine as a few years as a simple/easy way to share my work with potential clients and collaborators, a digital CV or portfolio of sorts.
But at the time I was building mine I used wix, and it didn't really have the tools I wanted (none seemed to). What I''m after seems to be pretty basic, and I would've thought was a widget that was already available but wasn't at the time.
In any case my subscription is coming up for renewal and I should reconsider other options, my site is a bit clunky and outdated because it is clunky (and as a result really time consuming to update).
Basically all I want is a tag based gallery/portfolio of my work (using youtube or vimeo embeds). My work has been pretty varied over the last few years (AD'd a couple of features, bits of videography, directed some music videos and shorts, edited a whole host of things, worked on experimental academic projects, work in 360 video, etc etc). Basically my work is too varied to easily have an editing portfolio and a directing portfolio (for example). A tag based system seems to make more sense to me. I just don't know where to look for such a thing.
Does anyone have any host/builder they've particularly liked? Anyone got something similar in place for their own site?
Obvious answer is to hire a web developer, but funds unfortunately don't permit that for a while. Maybe one day..
