Four Popular Website Builders to Showcase Your Creative Work

Every creative professional needs a personal website. Why? Your own website is a place where you can showcase your work and control your own content. Most of all, it’s a place where people can find you online. 

While social media is great for building a fanbase, a website is a centralized place that registers in Google's algorithms, thus making you easily searchable on the internet. Grants administrators and potential clients don’t want to go sifting through your socials to find your work, they want to be able to find you and see what you do as quickly and easily as possible. 

Luckily, these days making a website is super easy. 

You don’t have to hard-code a site from scratch. If you don’t know a ton of code and don’t want to learn it, there are a ton of options out there for “quick start” website building platforms that are relatively cheap and in some cases even free, and the results are stunning and professional.

Even if you hire a developer to build and manage your site, it’s important to know what your chosen platform is capable of, whether or not it can meet your immediate needs and grow with your career and business over time.

We’re going to focus here on the most popular, providing cost information, what creative field these platforms may be best for, and expected learning curve (if you’re a total beginner) once you dive in.
