hello i'm jason grant and i'm one of
adobe solution consultants
today we're going to go through
portfolio and show you how easy it is to
create a website in only minutes
additionally it has been specifically
designed for creatives such as yourself
so you can showcase your best work
[Music]
so to access portfolio you can do this
in the desktop application
under web so here with portfolio you do
not need to code
it's also a responsive website and you
can customize the domain
as well so we have the ability to create
up to five different
sites i'm gonna just show you the
website that i've already created before
we actually dive into the functions
so i've created numerous pages around
various topics as you can see here
i've also created contact information on
top and i've linked in various social
media aspects as well
so let me show you how easy it is to
make your own site with portfolio
so on the left hand side with the menu
we'll start with the essentials
so with the pages you can easily reorder
your pages as you see
fit additionally you can also have
integrations
such as behance or even your lightroom
albums
next is the theme so this is the bit
where you can actually start to
customize and play around with different
aspects as you can see i've used the
ludwig
after that we have our settings starting
with our domain name we can either use a
purchase one or a free one
after that we've got our home page
analytics can be tied in on top
optimization aspects for seo we can even
add further meta tags
we have favicons web clip icons social
sharing thumbnails
even how you customize your lightbox
images you've got password protections
there's a whole range of different
aspects that you can look to customize
your website in portfolio
let's move on to the sitewide functions
this is where you can start to customize
the design
starting with background colors and
fonts you'll see that all themes have a
light and dark
option there's also integration into
adobe fonts that you can use
additionally you can add background
images if you want or you can just use a
flat color
after this we've got our website
containers so this is how the content on
the page sits within it
so here you can customize the size of it
the margins and
the alignment as well after that our
logo functionalities
um here you can always customize
everything with the blue circle with the
white pen in it as well so
here we've got text or image options
depending on what you want
here i've just used a simple text i can
also have rollover features on top
or on scroll depending on what i'm
looking for and for those who have
designed their own logo you can upload
your own image
and you can even make it a gif so it
animates on top next let's have a look
at the navigation and how we can
customize this so we'll customize this
from within the page
so the first part is you have the
physical aspects that you can customize
but if we go back a couple looking at
the footer below
again you can add your social icons in
there if you wish
but within the navigation itself you can
see i have some
social icons that i've also added as
well so depending on what theme you are
using
there are different aspects that will
show up following that let's move on to
the collections
so portfolio has been organized into
groups
which they call the collections so here
we've actually got six different options
so we can actually customize this
depending on how we want
how many columns we want to show and i
suppose that all depends on how many
collections you wish to show in your
portfolio
you can also customize the text
container and the hover effect that
actually appears so
here you can actually look to customize
the color depending on the look and feel
of your
overall website after that as well
there's the cover images themselves
and what information you want with that
with titles and descriptions
[Music]
so as you see as we work our way through
this it is amazing how
flexible this is it has the ability to
customize certain aspects
but you can create global styles
throughout as well
one last thing i like to highlight is
you can also customize the welcome
message for your site
and basically how it looks and feels on
that page
so let me show you how easy it is to
create a page
these can also be linked into lightroom
albums for the photographers out there
so here i'm going to start a new page
i'm going to call this one example for
now
create the page and you're going to see
how many different options you can
actually do within that page itself
so for this example i'm going to use an
image of a shot i took
during a dust storm in sydney a few
years back
so also do remember that when you are
adding imagery and
content into this it's make sure that
you optimize it so that way it loads as
quick as possible
you'll also see down the bottom that it
has a you may also
like part which i can customize and add
further pages
and this is going to link to other
collections that i have in my website
you also have the ability to get even
more creative and work out how you want
that content on your page and whatever
content you would actually like to sit
with it
so i'm hoping you can see how flexible
portfolio will be for you
and to showcase the wonderful work you
do
so i hope you found portfolio easy and i
hope it's going to be useful in the
future
just know any of your thoughts or
anything else you would love to see
thank you
you
