How To Prepare For Class


Please have all pertinent content readily available including written material, photos, videos, pdfs, documents, links, and any other useful material. Organizing a folder on your desktop will allow you to keep track of what has and has not been uploaded.

Organize Content in Desktop Folder:

  • Each photo:

    • Png & Jpg is best. Please have all images in one of these two formats.

    • Name each photo with the title of your website and something descriptive [. i.e. moonrise- acrylic-paint-lynette-wiliams.jpg].

  • A word document:

    • compile all written content onto one page - Bios/About Page, Blog Posts, SEO Page descriptions, site description, and any other written material.

    • I suggest adding your login info for social media accounts.

    • If you will be transferring/connecting your domain from another site [GoDaddy, 1and1, WordPress, etc] please have the login info easily accessible.

    • If you are purchasing a domain, please write a list of names - as the exact one you want may be taken.

    • Videos must first be uploaded to SquareSpace, Vimeo, Animoto, or Wistia. Once uploaded, please add the url for each video to the word document.

    • If you will be using a contact and or Newsletter form please decide on the email account you want to connect it to. Please have the login info for this account easily accessible.
