WordPress Portfolio Websites for Artists and Designers

WordPress Portfolio Websites for Artists and Designers

A website is an essential promotional tool for visual artists. It's a 24/7 venue to showcase your work and present yourself professionally to potential clients.

Are you looking to create your first site? Is your existing site is looking tired? Is it a pain to maintain?

Join us for the Guild's Wednesday, October 24, 2012 workshop at the Seattle Design Center as Leslie Newman demonstrates how WordPress can be used to create professional portfolio websites that are easy to update.

Leslie will cover:

What makes a good portfolio site
Using existing WordPress themes and frameworks
How to choose and customize a theme
Adding a blog
Plugins
Social media integration
