hey what's going on guys welcome back to the channel today i want to show you guys
something really cool i want to show you guys how to put together a clean and professional
looking portfolio size using wix and if you guys want to build your own modeling portfolio website
just click on this link i'm going to leave in description box down below
as a model one of the most important tools you could have is your model portfolio website this
is a very convenient way and also professional way to share your comp card or share your background
share some images with a client or with an agency now if you're a freelance model you definitely
want to have a model portfolio website because one you're submitting yourself to clients and you're
also trying to submit yourself to agencies now having a model portfolio sites not only
makes a great first impression it also tells the clients that you're someone who takes your career
very serious it tells the agencies that you're serious about being a model and you're serious
to dedicate your time into modeling by the way this video is sponsored by wix and wix actually
has more than 500 industry specific templates that you guys can choose from to set up your website
so i want to show you guys how to build your own professional model portfolio website and walk you
guys through step by step so you guys can see how convenient and how straightforward the process is
all right so let's get started let's create a website so here is going to ask you what kind
of website do you want to create and we're looking for a portfolio here it gives you
two options you can let the ADI create a website for you or you can create your own website using
the editor and that's really what i want to show you guys so let's go ahead and choose a template
and as you can see this is sort of like a way that they filter to see what kind of portfolio you need
so here i'm going to scroll down and look for model portfolio because then they're going to
show me themes that are specific to model to modeling portfolio that i could choose from
so i'm just going to scroll and preview a couple of these and choose the one that's best fit for
what i need so i actually like this theme a lot because i've already done most of the work
everything has already been thought out for me and i just only have to
replace some of the images maybe change the sizing on the com card add my contact information and
whatnot but i like the way the steam is it looks very professional it's clean so let's go ahead
and actually start customizing this template so as soon as you hit customize it kind of presents you
with this video tutorial that shows you how to drag and drop but it's pretty intuitive
so let's go ahead and actually start editing this theme and i want to kind of show you
guys some of the different options that this theme has to offer um and for the purpose of
this video i'm actually going to speed it up a little bit just so it doesn't take too long
so here i'm just going to click on the name and you can click on any text and just really enter
it like you're editing a word document so here i'm going to add my name and the font size is looking
a little too big so i'm going to reduce the font size a little bit so i'm just going to toggle down
and let's keep it at 58 so that way the name fits in one line that looks good to me so here
you can just x that out and then you can actually just click on any part of these columns the way
this theme is set up is built into two columns and i want to edit the left column and replace
the image with mine obviously and then before i do that here at the bottom you can edit the
copyright information again this is a text field so i'm just gonna quickly do this
there we go and let's make it fit on one last nice line so i can just drag and expand make that
wider on both sides and that should do it there we go let's close this out
and then now um now let's try to change this background image so i'm just going to double click
and you can kind of swap this out by replacing and adding your own
image and you can upload your own image here guys and it's really like a drag and drop feature
so i already have some images that i've saved that i wanted to upload to this site so i'm just going
to bring in that folder and drop all of those images here and they should upload pretty quickly
now i already went ahead and resized a lot of these images so that they're web friendly
um i think the largest uh image that i have here is probably like a 1.4 megabytes
so i'm just going to drag and drop here
and then now all of these images are being uploaded and there's sort
of like a status bar at the bottom that shows you where everything is
so as you guys are building the website it's very important to save so that way you don't lose any
of the work that you're working on or if you want to save and come back to it at a later time it's
going to pick up exactly where you left off all right so now uh let's go ahead and replace that
image and as you guys can see i've went ahead and dropped my own image there and already that looks
really cool um i love this home page i love this intro page it's clean again like i said so here
you have your background where you can change the background image you can change the color you can
even add a video which is pretty cool then you can add other elements like a button or an image
you can add a text box or a video anything anything you want
wix already has it figured out for you so you can literally just add anything and drag and drop it
um to this website and then here you have your theme manager this is where you change the color
of the theme um you can change the text you can really kind of customize it and make it your own
this is where you have your additional apps that you can bring onto the website
um they have some really cool features that you can add an instagram feed
to your site and that way as you post on instagram
the feed is coming directly to your website and your website is updated with your instagram images
so i'm actually going to come back to this and potentially add this to one of my pages on the
sites so now let's go ahead and edit the com card page so i'm going to change the image
very similar process to what i just showed you um just click and uh upload
a new image there or just select from some of the images that you've already uploaded
uh here i'm going to edit the stats because i'm obviously not five nine great so that looks good
so now i'm just going to add my own images again same process you just click on the image and you
select the photo and you can actually choose from the site files so these are all the images that
i've already uploaded to the site and you can just select and change the background and then
your images appears on the websites it's very straightforward so now i went ahead and uploaded
the rest of my images to the sites and i think this com card page actually looks really good
alright so um the website is looking really good to me guys and really i think i'm done
so i'm going to click on some of these pages just to go through them one more time as you guys can
see similar process i went ahead and added some more images added my contact information page
let's take a look at the home page one more time this looks good what's really cool i love this
feature what's really cool is that you can toggle between having a desktop view or a mobile view
so that way you can really see what your website looks like from a mobile device and let's face it
guys a lot of you guys use mobile devices more than you actually use your desktop and actually
a good percentage of you guys are probably watching this video from your phones so again
this is what it looks like from a mobile view i love it it looks really cool it has the hamburger
menu at the top right and all of the com cart and all the details is there so this looks clean
love it okay so now i think this is a really good spot i'm very happy with it it looks clean
it looks professional didn't take too much time to set up and all i have to do now is
to hit publish so this is how you guys can go about building your portfolio sites with wix
