Wow, beautiful work and killer site! Did you set it up yourself or did you hire someone? I'd love to know what service you used if you did it yourself.

Thank you <3 So glad you like it! I set it up through Squarespace. Picked Squarespace just because it is really user friendly and simplified. I'm not the technology expert and don't know much about web design, so it's great in that aspect if you're just starting out! And the templates they have are nice and clean looking which I liked. If I were to do it again though, I would look into sites that have more metadata and keyword/seo customization. I really do like squarespace, but I think it's sort of like wordpress where it's good at generating traffic and seo from blogging and postings. I would like to hear more feedback if anyone else has insight on this, and how to increase visibility and web presence.

Also It would be awesome to see your site @youngcoconutart if you have it started! Thanks again for the kind words

Hi Ayla! It's up and I'd love for you to check it out and give me any thoughts: youngcoconutart.com. I used portfoliobox, which was awesome because it was super customizable, but a little over my head because I'm not at all a tech person. I was considering squarespace, but wound up going with these guys and am really happy with them. Even though it's a little harder, they have amazing customer support. And I think they're pretty good about SEO and keywords customization and metadata. I haven't looked into it much since the whole website thing is new to me, but there are areas where you can work on these things. I'm hoping to get into that in the next couple of weeks

Awesome Bio! I'd say that part is my favorite! Thought I already posted a reply here... my bad! I don't think it went through.
I added your instagram too
But that's super cool they are really helpful with that stuff! I'll definitely need to check portfoliobox out. How long have you had yours up?! Only criticism I'd make would be to maybe tone the background down a little bit so it gives a little more focus to the art on the page, but I really do think you're doing a good job on it and you've got some cool stuff!!
