Tips for a website?

[Nori]

Hey again!
I'm putting together a gallery of sorts using Wix, and this is what I have so far (it's pretty messy with organization right now, but eh.) http://leslax.wix.com/portfolio
Does anyone have any pointers? I either wanted to use wix or wordpress, does anyone prefer one over the other? I'm done with trying to get Dreamweaver to work, so I'm leaning towards online services now

Hey

It's awesome you're making your own thing, very cool.
A shame to hear Dreamweaver didn't work out for you.

Wordpress is the only thing of those two I've used. And my experiences with said service was good. Frankly, I think it doesn't matter which online service you use, as long as you feel comfortable with the one you're using and it's working well.

Hey again! Yeah, The person who runs the host has been working with me for the past two weeks trying to figure out why Dreamweaver shows me a different code for pictures and buttons.... and when I preview it looks like a mess (mixes of code and demon pictures ), when he looks at it from his preview it looks fine, and when I looks at it after it goes through the server there aren't any. And since Dreamweaver makes static webpages, a blog-like page would be a pain, since I'd have to move each 'post' down when I want to add another, and when that page gets too long, I'd have to do that twice for the 'next page' and what not soooooooooo just decided to not.


I might dabble into wordpress now that I have an idea of how online services work and see which one I like better, thanks!!

Lemme know  how  it goes, I've  been  considering  a website  myself

it's a ton more fun than putting in codes

Pff, says you
I code and have a website online, made for someone else. Once I get all things done I currently have to do, I can start focussing on making my own website ^^

[Nori]

oooo good luck!! I just can't wrap my head around all that, it gives me a headache

Thanks you
Oh, and I overlooked one of your two questions.
With pointers, do you mean any critique on the website, by chance? Helpful commentary, stuff like that?

A tip from a web developer:


If you don't have much web skills just try to use free cms , check this list: https://www.cmscritic.com/minimalist-blogging-platforms/


Or else try to learn html5 + css3 and build a original website or use a free template with some tweaks (you can get tons of that just searching on google).

Yep
And thanks Slim, I'll check that out

Ok, so, this is just a quick opinion/feedback I have for you. I'll try to see if I can look better at it at a later date so I can give some proper critique x3
Every page looked different, like it had a slightly different set-up with organising pictures. While I can understand if the background would change, there is a lot of colours going on and seems a bit cluttered. My favourite tab is the Photography one at the moment.
Soothing, non-distracting background (only two colours in the background), and the photographs have just enough of space in between, making it seem organised and designer-y at the same time.


Does this all make sense? x3

[Nori]

Yes, thank you! I'm still figuring out how I want to format it, thanks for the info!

You're welcome
Glad it helped ^^

I added  a few pages and layouts, changed the url, and I'm working on making a background right now   http://kayleenskloset.wix.com/home
I can't decide if I want the background for the blog page to be the bg for the other pages, or keep the gradient for the others.
I'm going to change the homepage, but its being funky right now

[Nori]

Soooo I went in a different direction. http://sironafurcreations.webs.com/
I'll be doing the premium thing for it, but for right now, here it is The page with the long name is a dump of hat I need to put in different pages, and I'll be adding more pictures eventually. I'm working on a logo with the name incorporated in it.
The kayleens kloset thing is just a personal site now.
