WEBSITES???

I already use various social media like tumblr, instagram and facebook for my professional work and I keep all of that separate from my personal social media accounts but a real website seems kind of daunting at the moment because I don't feel like I've got anything to put on the site??? Though getting it together earlier would be better than later!!

I had a look at a couple of free website hosting sites. Theoretically I could just buy a domain name and put it on my tumblr but I find tumblr not as customisable as I'd like for a website.
I'm thinking cargo collective might be a good one to use because it's generally aimed at creative types and has a nice level of customisation. I looked at a few people's sites on there already and each one looked really different and functional, promising. I think I need to get a design or logo together before I start making a website, I've just been using various patterns on other sites but I don't want a website to be so overpowering with black and shapes - It's really something I'll have to think about, colour schemes and stuff. I want it to still be 'me' and have my tone of voice but just NOT so busy.



I looked at wix as well, I had a wix site in the past for something else and it was an absolute pain to try and modify? I'm hoping it's changed since then and might be easier to use, but i'm still swayed towards cargocollective as I know other people who use it.


wow I can get ayykaplan.co.uk for only a penny. (well £8 for two years) sure why not. I have purchased a domain name. Now maybe I'll get on with properly thinking about a website.

On my website I would aim to post the higher quality finished project work, with links to instagram, facebook, tumblr, a blog etc so professional 'fun' and personality can be shown a bit more.
