Update and Evaluation.
● What were your initial ideas for creating a website? style/name / template
At first, I chose a template from the Art website, but over time it turned out that it was impossible to replace the bottom bar, so I had to choose another template, this time I chose one of the templates typical for photography websites. My project was inspired by The Richard Avedon Foundation website.
I became interested in this website because it is very aesthetic, black and white, it reminds me of the old art of photography, it is clear and easy to use, and that's how I wanted to design my website.
● Do you have a tagline on your website?
Yes, I have, these are the words of Sir Don McCullin on why photography is important to him.
“Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.” (Don McCullin) I chose these words because it is my tribute to his work as a documentarian, especially his monochrome photographic landscapes taken in Somerset, which were an inspiration for my first photography project.
Research:
● Which designers/artists (relevant to your continuation route) websites did you look for inspiration?
On my website I created a 'Home page', 'Portfolio', 'Contact page' and 'About Me'. I believe that all these websites are necessary to get to know the artist and the artist's work well, and to have the opportunity to contact them.
Did that change as you progressed onto the research/designing stage?
Basically, my website looks like I wanted it to look like, I only made minor corrections.
What is the purpose of your website?
Potential users of my website are people who like the art of photography.
● Why do you think it is important to have a digital portfolio website?
Because it gives users the opportunity to get to know my work and evaluate it, which in turn gives me a better picture of how my photographic works are received.
● Which design elements/tools did you use? (e.g.: infographics, fixed header, static background image, navigation menu design, text boxes, image galleries, social media feed) and why?
I used a template selected among photographic templates, my template was: 'Charley Knox Photograpy'. I chose it because it is very coherent, it allows for placing a large cover photo spread over practically the entire surface of the home page, and it is not divided into sections.
How many pages does your website have and why?

I used the font 'Linotype Didot', which I changed in the template, and used it on all pages. I used the navigation bar, the social media bar on which I placed the Blogspot icon, as well as the text box and the photo gallery.
