Website Galleries: Photography & Video Production

 Today we are adding new galleries for our two projects from Creative Media Production. I began by opening my website on Wix and I checked the copyright was correct, the social links were working, the navigation was working and the homepage was well designed, and in my case it is my own work.

I began by creating a new page.  I did this by clicking on pages and menu in the left hand menu and adding a new blank page.  I then renamed it to my photography project name and I then dragged it under the portfolio section to make it a subpage. 

Next I clicked on the add button in the left hand menu and went to text and added a heading.  I then edited this to my photography project title and I also added a paragraph to add my introduction. 

I the added a gallery buy clicking on the add button and then gallery and then I chose the portrait slider gallery and I clicked into manage media and uploaded my images.

I saved and republished after each action to ensure that is was viewable and working.

I then added a 'back to portfolio' button and made sure that is was consistent with the rest of the site and the same font.  I then saved and published and checked that it worked and linked to the front portfolio page. 

Next we are adding the front page images to our portfolio and buttons for navigation

I then went to my pages and menu and went to 'Add Menu Item', I then added a new page and renamed this to the name of my video production.  I now had all the gallery pages I needed.  

I then Wento to the front portfolio page and I dragged the new pages underneath to make these subpages.  I then went to the 'Add' button on the left hand menu and then 'image', I uploaded an image from my photography project, I edited this in Wix by cropping and resizing and adding a filter that maktched my other images on the front portfolio page. 

I then went back to the 'Add' button and added a button and customised this to match the other buttons and used the same font 'Palantino Linotype'.  I then added a link to the correct page.  I then saved and republished and then previewed the site to make sure everything worked.  I checked my new button the front page and the back to portfolio button on my project page. I checked my writing for spelling and grammar errors. Republished again.

I then repeated the actions above by adding an image from my video production and adding a new button to my new page 'Sock Monkey Magic'.  I then added the correct link and checked this worked with the page. 

I then added a title, introduction and a new 'Back to Portfolio' link and my final video will be added upon completion. 

I then saved everything, checked that everything worked and previewed and then republished. Last thing was to check my mobile view of new pages and portfolio.  These are all okay and did not changing but I might make some minor adjustments to the size of text on pages.

I finished all the work and then saved and republished again.  

I think these pages are looking good and present the work well, I stilll probably need to recheck everything but I am happy with navigation, presentation on the front portfolo page and the links.
