The Digital Portfolio (Lab 1)

For this course, you need to post all of your assignments to your own digital portfolio. This serves several purposes: to will help you create or add to your professional work, increase your digital presence, and provide me with one convenient location to review your work.

While I encourage you to create completely new works for all of the other labs, if you already have a website you like, you may use that for this lab. 

Don't neglect your digital presence! 

Digital portfolios are rapidly becoming an expected portion of job applications for many fields. Having work online ready to send with your application will be a big help to you as you embark on your job search journey. 

This article has some helpful tips for digital portfolios.

Wix:  https://www.wix.com/

Overview

Wix is increasing in popularity, and it is user-friendly for a wide range of abilities. Unlike WordPress, it will allow you to customize a wide variety of things and even use CSS.

I recommend using the free version of Wix. It is user-friendly, and though no coding is required, it allows you to customize things using code (and you can find lots of help from others using Google). The main website even walks you through creating your basic site--just click the link above and click "Get Started"!
