What You'll Learn
How to build a website that actually works for your practiceMost artist websites are built backwards — design first, strategy never. This course flips that. You'll start by defining what you want your website to do for your career right now, so every decision you make from there has a purpose behind it.
How to structure and build your site with confidenceFrom organizing your content to choosing your pages to getting everything live on Squarespace, you'll walk through the full build process in a way that's approachable whether you're starting from scratch or finally fixing a site that's been sitting half-finished.
How to maintain and grow it over timeA good website isn't a one-time project — it's an ongoing tool. You'll leave with the skills and mindset to keep your site current, functional, and working for you as your practice evolves.
