Website Creation: Gallery Portfolio

In this post I will be creating my portfolio and website gallery on my Wix website. I will also be adding my finalised Architecture Project unto the gallery

The first thing I changed was the background colour of my portfolio page. I right clicked on the mouse and clicked on 'change background' and selected the colour I wanted. I did this to show consistency with all my other pages and to also make the colour more inviting for viewers.

 

 

I then added an image to the page by clicking on the 'Add' button on my left hand menu and then clicked on 'image' and on 'upload image'. I then chose an image of my project from my files. I proceeded to add the image unto my page also using the transform tools to reposition the image to the center.

My next step was to create a new page. I went to the pages menu on the left hand margin and clicked on 'New Page' and clicked on it to change the name to my Project name, 'SolarHaven Home'. I then clicked on the three dots on the menu page and clicked on 'subpage'. The new page appears underneath my portfolio page on the navigation menu.

I also changed the background colour to the same one as my portfolio page and I am now ready to upload my project for this term. I then added the title on my project by clicking on the 'add' button on the left hand menu and then on 'text' and 'heading'. I changed the font to 'Inknut Antiqua' which is the same font as the rest of my pages and I changed the size to 43pts also using the transform tools to centralize the text. After that, I went to the 'add' tool in the left hand menu and chose 'Gallery' and picked a suitable one for my project.

I then added a button for navigation. I did this by clicking on 'add elements' in the left hand menu and then clicked on button. I then chose a button design I wanted and dragged it to my page. I clicked on the button and changed the text to 'Back to portfolio' and also linked it to my portfolio page. I went to the 'design' button and changed the shape and colour of my button. I also changed the font to the same font I used as always, 'Inknut Antiqua' and also changed the font colour. I then used the transform tool to move my button to the top of the page.

I then went back to my pages and menu and added a button in the same way I did on the project page. I chose the same style, font and font size as the previous button and then linked it to my portfolio page. I then went to preview and checked if both buttons worked properly

The next thing I did was upload all my images unto the gallery. I clicked on 'manage media', and then on 'add media' and uploaded my images from my files. I then organised the gallery in order by dragging my design boards into the right positions.

 

I then went back to my portfolio page to ensure all my design boards were uploaded correctly and in full size. I clicked on preview to make sure everything looked okay and worked correctly 

 

Finally, I  checked my mobile view. I adjusted my project title to the middle and made my gallery bigger. I also removed blank space and previewed it to make sure the buttons work. I found out that my copyright didn't show so I corrected that by checking if it was hidden and then clicked on 'unhide' and it finally showed. After doing one last check to make sure everything worked properly, I then saved my work.
