Domain Name // Issues

It was suggested by Patrick that we look at the site wordpress as a possible online portfolio platform//website. I couldn't find any other sites that really spoke out to me, and buying a domain name ect is something that's totally new to me. I decided to sign up to wordpress and purchase the URL jazzisdrawing.com. It fit within my current online presence and seemed great that it was so easy to purchase and use!

HOWEVER, this did later become an issue. I haven't been able to find a theme that clearly and minimally shows my work in the way that I would want it to be presented. And the while I have found a custom theme that fits with the aesthetics I want my work to have I'm unable to use it without upgrading to a higher costing package, and given that I don't necessarily get along with wordpress' coding and editing features, I'm not sure this is something I want to do.

Looking at other options I finally found the site Cargo Collective. Their themes looked a lot more like what I wanted so I sent in an application to join their site; they accepted within the day and I made a site on their platform!

Though this doesn't yet have a custom URL, Cargo allows for custom URL's to be added and it's something I'll look into for the future. It also allows me to custom the website to get it as I want it with it been free, then I can pay more for my URL when I have a more concrete idea of what I want my visual identity to look like.
