Website Update: Art Portfolio One

 Today we are just updating the website, I will add all my updates here.  I will also be adding a new portfolio page for my project in Art Portfolio One.

I began by updating the copyright from 2024 to 2025.  I did this by clicking on copyright text and just adjusting the number.  I then saved and republished 


I then checked all my social links were working and did not need updating - I need to remove X from my site which I will do.

I then checked my Home, Portfolio, About and Contact page.  I was happy with these and they all work well and I have buttons to navigate back home and back to portfolio,  I also checked these in the mobile view and everything is working including back to top button. 


I the needed to add a new image to front portfolio page.  To do this on Wix, I clicked on the add button in the tools menu.  I then clicked on upload image.  Once this was uploaded, I clicked on 'add to page' and then I positioned this carefully using gridlines and the tranform controls


I then added a new page for my project for this term.  Therefore I clicked 'pages and menu' and then clciked on 'new page'.  I then clciked into teh box and changed the name to my project title.  I made sure the box was underneath the portfolio page.  I then clicked on the three dots at the end of the box and clicked on 'subpage' in the dropdown box. Next I went back to my main portfolio page. I went to the 'add' button in the tools menu and then to 'button', I then customsed the button to match the others on the page and used the same font which was 'Playfair Display Bold' .  Lastly, I clicked on button and using the link icon, a dialog box opens and I chose the page (my new page) that I wanted it to link to. 


I then saved all my changed, I republished.  Then I checked that the button worked live. 

I then went to my blank page that I just created and I am going to add a title, introduction and back to portfolio button and I will add a box for film

I began by ading the title I did this by clicking on the 'add' button and the text and choosing 'Heading 1'.  I then ensured the the text was in the same font 'Playfair display' I changed the size to fit the page appropriately to 64pts.  I then aligned the text to the centre using the gridlines. 


I then repeated this process abvove and just added a 'paragraph' to the page - this will be where I add the introduction to my project.

The last things I need to do were to add the 'gallery' and a 'back to portfolio' button.  I clicked on the 'add' button tools menu and I chose 'Music and video' I then chose the youtube box which I dragged into my page.  I then added my video from YouTube by using the embed/share link.  I then added another button by clicking on 'Add' and then 'Button', I chned the text to 'Back to Portfolio' and I clicked n the link and in the dialog box chose the page I wanted it link to which was 'Portfolio'.  


I then saved all my changes and republished.  I then previewed andchecked everything work.  I was happy with these changes - this is now ready for final work.
