Design you site

Once you have the backbone of your site set up (a Theme, and a beautiful, curated set of Pages) You can adjust the design of your site to create the look and feel you’re going for. All of your site elements are adjustable via the floating Remote (accessible on all Pages, default is on the right side).  As you approach your design, remember a few important tips. 

  • Don’t let the site design upstage your work: Keep your portfolio design simple, and let your work take centre stage.  Your work should be the focal point, not the design of your site. Don’t clutter it up with pointless design elements. 
  • Simple Navigation: Most website visitors spend less than a minute browsing, so make your site simple and impactful right off the bat. Start with the basics: a home Collection, an About Page, and a Contact Page. Simplicity and navigability will push your work to the surface, where it should be.
