I know setting up your first artist portfolio website can be a little intimidating... trust me, I've been there and I've made my fair share of mistakes.

But after years of trial and error (plus some successes) I've advised lots of other artists on how to start building their own website. Plus, I've even redesigned my company's website to get it ready for 2017!

So check out this video to get all of my best tips and advice! In this video, you'll learn info on the following topics:

• Where to purchase a domain
• How to select a website building platform
• Whether or not you'll need to purchase hosting for your site
• Why you need to choose a responsive layout (or theme)
• The importance of setting up a good homepage
• What to include in each gallery or portfolio
• Why it's helpful to add an artist statement to each body of work
• Why you need to include an artist bio and CV or Artist Resume
• The value of hosting your blog on your website (not Tumblr)
• Why you might want to link to other artists on your website
