I tried creating a new site using Wordpress however I struggled with the format and i really struggled to create the exact outcome I wanted. Although it was aesthetically pleasing, I felt that it was unclear to navigate.Therefore I again created a site with Wix as I knew how to accomplish a clearer more professional looking website/ blog. I plan to share more on my blog and keep it updated regularly, learning from my mistakes last year.
I definitely will be more opinionated on here (something I have been afraid to do in the past). I plan to focus more on my quality of work over quantity and I aim to invest in work that interests me. I believe that this quality will help me overcome my lack of knowing what to write about. I had also chosen to create a new name for my
photography page, with a play on my name (Emma) and the Italian word for beautiful (bellissimo), and came up with the word Bellissemma. I really want my work to reflect this intent and to be beautifully written and presented. Along with a new name I created a new layout of my site, trying to keep everything clear and up to date. I have my photography blog as a seperate tag on my website as well as a personal statement on my about page, keeping things as easy to use as possible.
As you can also see to the left of the home screen I have a section which shows my most recent blog posts, and to the right I have attached my professional photographic instagram page. I created this page to expand how and when people can access my work, with social media being so current and ever more popular sites like instagram give a platform for artists such as myself to share their work without such limitations.
This is my current site which is much clearer to navigate.
