Q: Many companies exist that allow you to make a website, like Wix or Weebly. They may charge you for upgrades or fancier services, but you can make a simple portfolio website on their platform for free. Squarespace is another option, though you do have to pay a monthly or annual fee. It’s best to choose a template with a simple design and minimal animation, rather than crowded pages and flashy text. This should be the first page that viewers see when they visit your website. Experiment with different ways to lay out your samples until you find the form that is the most attractive. Lay out your samples in a grid, as a slideshow, or in one long, scroll-through page. Include brief captions or descriptions of your samples. You can also include a brief tagline of who you are on the main page, but leave the bulk of the personal information for a separate About Me page. Upload small file sizes so that the webpage doesn’t take forever to load. This page should include a professional-looking headshot and your personal statement. You can write either in first or third person. This is a good spot to post or link to your resume and any relevant social media, such as a YouTube channel or an Instagram account (not your personal one).  If you’re struggling with what to say on this page, keep it simple. “I’ve been working in graphic design for 2 years. I’m based in Columbus and I specialize in marketing and advertising graphic design. I’m open to new clients, commissions, and collaborations.” Check out the About Me pages of other people in your field for inspiration. You can also include relevant awards or certificates on this page. You can include a form where people can send you emails or post your email address. If you don’t already have a professional email address, now’s a good time to make one.  It’s best not to put your phone number online, because you will likely get a ton of spam calls. Instead, you can provide your phone number to someone once they’ve already been in email contact with you, so you know they are legitimate. Be aware that you’ll likely get a lot of spam emails after you post your email address online. Most website creation services let you edit the fonts, colors, and layout of your website. Choose a simple, legible font, because the eye-catching thing should be your work, not the titles. Pick a color scheme and theme for your website that best reflects your professional goals. For example, if you want to become a children’s book illustrator, your website might look good with pastel colors, but if you’re trying to get hired as a financial copywriter, a dark color scheme would be better. You can ask a friend, family member, professor, or other people in your field to look over your website before you launch it. They can help you refine your website as well as catch glaring mistakes that you may have missed when you were too caught up in the little details. If the person just tells you it’s a good website, you can ask for more feedback, and make sure they know your feelings won’t be hurt.  Ask for specific questions, like “Is there any part of the text that could be improved? What do you think of the layout of the samples? Does the About Me page present an accurate impression of who I am?”
A: Make a website from a template using a website creation service. Create a main page with samples of your work. Add an About Me page. Include a Contact page so people can reach you. Play around with the settings to find the best design. Get feedback on your website before you launch it.

Article: If you feel insecure in yourself, you may feel unworthy of your partner or scared they will find someone better than you. Recognize that these are your own insecurities and may have nothing to do with your partner. Raise your self-esteem by acknowledging your strengths, doing things that make you feel good about yourself, and  replacing negative self-talk with positive self-talk.  For example, if your inner dialog tends to tell you how awkward you are or how embarrassed you should be, replace it with things that make you feel good about yourself, such as, “Even if I didn’t explain myself well, I still tried and did a better job communicating.” If your self-esteem issues are interfering with your relationship, you may want to seek help from a licensed therapist on your own. They can help build your self-esteem, which may strengthen your relationship. Develop yourself as an individual, not just as a partner in a relationship. Having interests and hobbies can also provide an outlet for stress. Find an activity that makes you feel good that you enjoy. Try to engage in your hobby at least once a week.  If you don’t know where to start, try volunteering. You can meet new people and know you’re making a difference in your community.  You can try and pick up a new sport, do yoga, paint, dance, hike, or create music. Talk about the jealousy or trust problems you experience and gain some perspective with a trusted friend or family member. If you need some help or advice, go to someone you trust to talk it out. Even if they cannot help you, they can still listen. Spend time with your friends and family outside of your relationship. Make time for meals, nights out, and activities with people you care about. If you struggle to manage anxiety or jealousy in your relationship, learn to cope with these emotions without lashing out or hurting your partner.  If you feel stressed, try taking some deep breaths before accusing your partner or feeling distrustful in them.  This can help calm your body and your mind. If you struggle to process your emotions, try journaling, listening to music, or taking a walk.

Q: Your bedroom, locker, school desk, or any other personal space can showcase your girly side. Choose a bright, soft color like pink, light purple, baby blue, or yellow to decorate with. You can get furniture, paint your walls, or just get fun accessories like decorative ribbons, posters, and stickers to make your space girly. Girly girls don’t carry around stacks of loose paper instead of notebooks or leave old food sitting around their rooms. Start practicing cleaning up after yourself every day and putting everything back where you found it. Keep your school things organized and labeled. This is a great opportunity to buy more girly organizing accessories too--things like binders, boxes, and cases are a great way to show off your feminine side. You’ll need a space to check your makeup, practice new hairstyles, and make sure your outfits fit you perfectly. Get a big mirror for your room and smaller ones for your locker and purse. You can even get a whole vanity furniture set if you’re able to! Girly girls aren’t afraid to be creative. Decorate your personal space with cute drawings, notes to your friends, and crafts. Buy some paint pens in bright colors and draw decorations on your pictures and posters, or learn a craft like scrapbooking or sewing that you can use to decorate your area.

Choose soft, bright colors to decorate with. Keep your things organized neatly. Get a vanity or mirrors. Show your creative side.
