First, hello everyone!
Second, I am not interested at all in critiquing my actual work--just my layout and website plan.
1. Thoughts/opinions on the layout of my site.
michaelsergiobarnes
and it links to my portfolio,
rolleiportraits
Overall, I like it. I tried wordpress but it was honestly too confusing for me to use and inherently too bloggy. It took me a while to make it "static" but then I couldn't come up with anything clean or figure out how to use wordpress.org. and so I gave cargo collective a spin. I feel that this just flows well and the two websites integrate well (maybe others may differ?).
2. Advice on what to do next.
Now I am interested in having more space for rolleiportraits and using my custom url for michaelsergiobarnes. Now the cargo collective that I am using is free but I need a site upgrade ($66/year) to use a custom url and/or to have more space. that is understandable. Issue is that I only want more space for my portfolio (rolleiportraits) but I just want the url for my website (michaelsergiobarnes) so to me paying for a website upgrade for both accounts is necessary with my current model but perhaps a waste. I'm definitely considering it because of the convinience but I'm a newb so maybe this move is silly or I am limiting myself relying on wordpress as it is inherently more limited than other services (I think?).
Anything "wrong" with using cargo collective as my main website? I don't want to commit myself and then realize that what I really wanted was wordpress or some other website builder for some unforseen reason/limitation. I mean, I'm fine with the layout but I have never built a website before so I don't know everything that needs to be considered.
And if it matters. I am not a professional and I do not do this for money so marketing myself isn't too important. I just want a simple/sleek way for people to see what I am about.
