PPP: CARGO

Today I set up a cargo collective account, to work as my website. After looking at some online designs I was really influenced as having something quite simplistic that allowed my work to stand out and easy to navigate.

I will consider cargo as my host for my website, due to not being very good at coding although I will make subtle changes to pre-made designs so to make my website more personalised to me as a designer.

With a pre-made template I started to experiment with the design and started uploading media to my website.


Home

For my home page I want to have a gallery style with all the projects listed at the front with a banner at the top.






The initial template did something similar however the arrangement of the website wasn't how I envisioned.













So after some experimentation with the coding I managed to get the projects within the right view.


About


The about page I wanted include information about myself and my mission but I felt it looked quite bland due to the restrictions with the template.

Overview

This host didn't really allow me to manipulate the template like I wanted to for my website and the sizing of my projects left a lot of blank space and looked a little bland. The only way that i could edit it further was through payment and I didn't want to invest into it just yet as I found it quite hard to navigate and work with.

Although I have this option I want to explore other hosts and see what would be best suited for my style and visual preferences before investing.
